- Description
- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). NHTSA�s mission is to save lives, prevent injuries and reduce traffic-related health care and other economic costs. The agency develops, promotes, and implements effective educational, engineering and enforcement programs with the goal of ending preventable tragedies and reducing economic costs associated with vehicle use and highway travel. In addition to its safety mission, NHTSA develops and administers Consumer Information regulations that assists consumers with making informed decisions about motor vehicles and associated equipment. The Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) Standard is a consumer information program established to assist consumers with making informed decisions about purchasing passenger car tires. This program provides consumers with ratings information on the traction, treadwear, and temperature resistance performance of passenger car tires. NHTSA administers a program that measures the tire tread wear rate on a known course with a specific set of course monitoring tires (CMTs). The program establishes a Base Course Wear Rate (BCWR) that is used by tire manufacturers to calculate UTQG treadwear ratings for passenger car tires that are sold to consumers. The treadwear ratings allow consumers to compare tires and make informed choices. The base course wear rate is measured quarterly, and the published value is the average of the current quarter, and the 3 previous quarters.
