What are your track/AutoX alignment settings?

So please tell me how to properly use UTQGs to draw any sort of beneficial conclusion about any attribute of the tire.

Sofar the whole thing seems like a joke and pointless. Especially the wear results of the NT01, r888, and PSC2 on stvdsm's GT350.

Do you have proof that the tire mfgs are only allowed to "derate" and not "uprate" the tire? Either way, you admitting that they can and do throws the whole credibility of UTQG out of the window anyway :lol:

Easy enough to find something here.

Manufacturers are generally very cautious about rating a tire too high and running into problems with NHTSA, so the ratings often reflect, to some extent, the needs of their marketing departments. Marketers typically want to have a range of treadwear ratings that line up with how tires are positioned in the manufacturer’s product offerings. So it is common to rate a tire lower than it could be to make it properly fit within a product line.

Under-rating a tire’s treadwear is common with ultra-high performance and R-compound tires. The manufacturers often aren’t concerned with how these tires wear in actual street use and many consumers (incorrectly) equate low treadwear ratings with high levels of traction. The result is tires with ratings of 40 or 50 that could legitimately be rated much higher.
