Typically featuring a <a title="What are Tire Speed Ratings?" href="/learn/tire-buying-guides/tire-speed-rating">speed rating</a> of V or greater, UHP tires often have a wide footprint and low profile, and are used on powerful vehicles such like <a title="Shop for Corvette Tires" href="/vehicles/chevrolet-tires/corvette">Corvettes</a>,  <a title="Shop for Mustang Tires" href="/vehicles/ford-tires/mustang">Mustangs</a>,  <a title="Shop for Camaro Tires" href="/vehicles/chevrolet-tires/camaro">Camaros</a>, and so on.

Vehicle

This product is not covered by a manufacturer’s treadlife warranty.

Mileage Warranty

Maximum speed capability to safely carry a load for an extended period of time.

Max Speed

The maximum load carrying strength at the specified inflation pressure, also known as ply rating.

Load Range

The side of the tire between the tread and rim, with cosmetic branding as well as information about the tire including manufacturer, model, size, etc.

Sidewall

Standards that measure treadwear, temperature resistance and traction, example: "640 A A".  The 640 is the treadwear test and it lasted 6.4 times longer than the comparison tire tested against.  The first "A" is the traction rating using straight-line wet traction on test surfaces (see information tables tab) and the second "A" is the temperature rating by testing operation at high speeds without heat-related failure (see information tables tab).

UTQG

Wet Traction is a piece of the UTQG for example if  UTQG is: 500 AA A, the wet traction piece is the second piece, the "AA".

Wet Traction

Measured in 32nds of an inch, this metric shows how much tread life is left on a tire, with the tire's traction & stopping capabilities greatly diminished at 4/32nds and less. Tire manufacturers include "tire wear bars" at 2/32nds to indicate when your tire is worn out.

Tread Depth

An identifier of a particular tire line and size combination assigned by the tire manufacturer.
