2003 ASTON MARTIN DB AR1 Q traction control

F - Owner Maintenance
1-F-17 Traction - A, B, C
The traction grades, from the highest to the lowest are A, B and C, and they
represent the tyre's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete. A tyre marked 'C' may have poor traction performance.
WARNING:
The traction grade assigned to this tyre is based on braking (straight ahead)
traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.
Temperature - A, B, C
The temperature grades are 'A' (the highest), 'B' and 'C' representing the tyres
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 tyre to
degenerate and reduce tyre life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tyre failure.
The grade 'C' corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car
tyres 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 tyre is established for a tyre that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation or excessive
loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat build-up and
possible tyre failure.
