Consumer Information
This has been prepared as required of all manufacturers of passenger cars under Title 49, Code of U.S. Federal
Regulations, Part 575 pursuant to the "National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966".
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Refer to the tire sidewall for the specific tire grades for t he tires with which this vehicle is equipped. All passenger car
tires must conform to federal safety requirements in addition to these grades.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on t he wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified government test course. For ex ample, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (11/2)
times as well on the government course as a tire grad ed 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the
actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart signi ficantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, Those grade 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" ma y have poor traction performance.
Warning !
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests and does not
include cornering, hydroplaning or peak traction characteristics.
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 co rresponds 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 than the minimum required by law.
Warning !
The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause
excessive heat build up and possible tire failure.
