Destiny Tires UTQG Ratings:
The Federal
Government Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards apply to passenger
car tires only (but excludes deep tread, winter-type snow tires,
temporary use spare tires, and tires with nominal rim diameters
of twelve inches or less). Tires subject to the standards are
required to be graded on the performance factors of treadwear,
traction, and temperature. The grades are molded on the tire
sidewall, and, in addition for replacement tires, a label affixed
to the tread lists and explains these grades.
Michelin
Destiny Tires Treadwear
The treadwear
grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government
test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and
a half times as well on the government course as a tire graded
100.
Michelin Destiny Tires Traction
The
traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.
Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement
as measured under controlled conditions on specified government
test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have
poor traction performance.
Michelin
Destiny Tires Temperature
The
temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing
the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability
to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on
a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature
can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce
tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire
failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which
all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels
of performance on the laboratory test wheel then the minimum
required by law. WARNING: The temperature grade for each tire
is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not
overloaded. Excessive speed, under inflation, or excessive loading,
either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup
or possibly tire failure.
Warranty is covered for 80,000 miles which covers defects in workmanship and material for the life of the original usable tread or 6 years from the date of purchase, whichever occurs first
