…was enacted and will then appear later on tires that have had the required wet traction all along, but were introduced when the single A was the highest available grade. Temperature (Resistance) Grades The UTQG Temperature Grade indicates the extent to which heat is generated and/or dissipated by a…

…determines traction under one specific condition (locked-wheel braking on wet pavement). UTQG traction tests do not evaluate dry braking, dry cornering, wet cornering or high speed hydroplaning resistance. If I live in a hot climate, should I be looking for an "A" temperature rating? Only…

…describe the temperature where a summer performance tire's grip/slip performance changes dramatically. This means the summer performance tires that provide predictable traction in warm to hot conditions will be found to be very challenging to drive in cold to freezing temperatures. This is…

…winter temperatures is about -50 Fahrenheit...which results in a potential loss of about 5 psi as winter's temperatures set in. And a 5 psi loss is enough to sacrifice handling, traction, and durability! Additionally, the difference between cold nighttime temperatures and hot daytime temperatures in…

…some of those stronger bonds. Breaking down these stronger bonds compromises the tire's ultimate grip. In order to get the most life and best traction from your competition tires it's recommended to heat cycle them before competitive use. Tire Rack uses a heat cycling process which puts an…
