Information for the end user concernmg comparat1ve values for spec1fied bas1c tyres (standardised test procedure) =>page 404·
TREADWEAR 280 Relative life expectancy for the tyre, with reference to a US-specific standard test. Tyres with the specification 280 are used up at a rate of 2.8 times more slowly than standard tyres
@ which have a treadwear value of 100. The performance of tyres is determined by how they are used and can notably de-viate from norm values due to driving style, maintenance, road surface and climatic conditions.
TRACTION AA Wet braking response of the tyre (AA, A, B or C). This is tes-led under controlled conditions on certified testing routes.
® Tyres marked C have a low traction performance. The traction value assigned to the tyres are based on linear traction tests and do not include speed, lateral stability, or aquaplaning and traction under high load.
TEMPERATURE A Temperature stability of the tyre at higher test speeds (A, B or C). A and B tyres exceed legal requirements. The tempera-tu re evaluation is based on tyres with correct pressure and
® does not allow for excess pressure. Excessive speed, incor-reel pressure or excess pressure can cause heat build-up or tyre damage. This applies to one or a combination of these factors.
