“NHS” on tires indicates compliance with the National Highway Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Tire Performance Grading System (TPGS). The TPGS rates tires on three key factors: treadwear, traction, and temperature, providing consumers with valuable information for informed tire choices. The treadwear grade indicates a tire’s expected mileage; traction grade assesses its grip on wet and snowy surfaces; and temperature grade measures its resistance to heat buildup. By considering NHTSA ratings, drivers can enhance road safety by selecting tires optimized for their specific driving needs and conditions.
