Description
The Company was originally founded in 1989 by Mr. Katona as an automotive recycling business. From within this industry it could be seen that there was a changing tide in the attitude of the government regarding the disposal of used tires in land fills. Tires could no longer be disposed of in land fills.
The Department of Transportation requires each manufacturer to grade its tires under the Uniform Tire Quality Grade (UTQG) labeling system and establish ratings for treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance. These tests are conducted independently by each manufacturer following government guidelines to assign values that represent a comparison between the tested tire and a control tire. While traction and temperature resistance ratings are specific performance levels, the tread wear ratings are assigned by the manufacturers following field testing and are most accurate when comparing tires of the same brand.
