ing capacity for a tire, which is inflat-
ed to the maximum.

remains.
Pneumatic Tire:

UTQGS: The Uniform Tire Quality
Grading Standards is the information
of traction, temperature and tread
abrasion. A rating is measured by a
tire manufacturer in accordance with
the government-specified testing
procedure. The rating information is
specified on the tire side wall.
device made of rubber, chemicals,
fabric and steel or other materials,
