2. Uniform Tire Quality Grading - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Tire_Quality_Grading

   Uniform Tire Quality Grading, commonly abbreviated as UTQG, is a set of standards for passenger car tires that measures a tire's treadwear, temperature resistance and traction. The UTQG was created by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 1978, a branch of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT). [ 1 ]

3. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   Tire identification labels. Automotive tires are described by several alphanumeric tire codes (in North American English) or tyre codes (in Commonwealth English), which are generally molded into the sidewall of the tire. These codes specify the dimensions of the tire and its key limitations, such as load-bearing ability and maximum speed.

4. Tire tread - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_tread

   Studded mountain bike tires for icy conditions. Off-road tires used in mud or dirt feature individual knob patterns to allow the tire to bite into the surface and lever the sides of the tread to get a better grip. Given the smaller contact patch, these tires tend to wear quickly when used on asphalt (depending on type of rubber).

5. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

   Tire uniformity refers to the dynamic mechanical properties of pneumatic tires as strictly defined by a set of measurement standards and test conditions accepted by global tire and car makers. These standards include the parameters of radial force variation , lateral force variation , conicity, ply steer, radial run-out , lateral run-out , and ...

6. Tire maintenance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_maintenance

   Tire maintenance for motor vehicles is based on several factors. The chief reason for tire replacement is friction from moving contact with road surfaces, causing the tread on the outer perimeter of tires to eventually wear away. When the tread depth becomes too shallow, like for example below 3.2 mm (4/32 in), the tire is worn out and should ...

7. Tyre label - Wikipedia

   Actual fuel savings and road safety also depend heavily on the behaviour of drivers when using their cars, and in particular the following: Eco-driving can significantly reduce fuel consumption; Tyre pressure should be regularly checked to optimise wet grip and fuel efficiency performance; Stopping distances should always be strictly respected [6]
