Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standard sare U.S.
government specifications. Their purpose is to
provid edrivers with uniform reliabl einformation
on tire performanc edata. Tire manufacturers
have to grade tire susing thre eperformanc efac-
tors: :trea dwearg rade, ;tractio ngrade and
= temperature grade .These regulations do not
appl ytoC anada. Nevertheless ,alltire ssoldi n
North America are provided with the corre- sponding quality grading marking
sonthe side-
wall of the tire.
Quality grade scan be found, where applicable,
on the tire sidewall between trea dshoulde rand

Example:
RTreadwear grade: 200
RTraction grade:AA
RTemperature grade: A
All passenger car tire smustc onform to the stat-
utory safety requirements in additio ntothese
grades.
iThe actual value sfor tire sare vehicle-spe-
cifi cand mayd eviate from the value sinthe

Treadwear
The treadwea rgrade is acomparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on aspecified U.S.
government course.F or example,atire graded
150 woul dwearo ne and one-hal ftime sasw ell

Traction
GWARNING
The tractio ngrade assigned to thist ire is
based on straight-ahea dbraking traction
tests ,and does not includ eacceleration, cor-
nering, hydroplaning, or peak tractio nchar-
acteristics.
!Avoi dwheelspin.T hisc an lead to damage to
the drive train.
The tractio ngrade s–from highest to lowest –
are AA, A, Band C. Those grade srepresent the
tire's ability to stop on we tpavement as meas-
ured under controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt and con-
crete .Atire marked Cmayhave poor traction

PSI (pounds per squareinch)
Astandard unit of measure for tire pressure.
Aspect ratio
Relationship between tire height and tire width
in percent.
Tire pressure
This is pressure inside the tire applying an out-
ward force to each square inch of the tire's sur-
face. The tire pressure is specified in pounds per
square inch (psi), in kilopascal (kPa) or in bar.
The tire pressure should only be corrected when
the tires are cold.
Cold tire pressure
The tires are cold:
Rif the vehicle has been parked with the tires
out of direct sunlight for at least three hours
and
Rif the vehicle has not been driven further than
1m ile (1.6 km)
Tread
The part of the tire that comes into contact with
the road.
Bead
The tire bead ensures that the tire sits securely
on the wheel. There are several steel wires in the
bead to prevent the tire from coming loose from
the wheel rim.
Sidewall
The part of the tire between the tread and the
bead.
Weight of optional extras
The combined weight of those optional extras
that weigh more than the replaced standard
parts and more than 5lbs (2.3 kg). These
optional extras, such as high-performance
brakes, level control, aroof rack or ahigh-per-
formanceb attery, are not included in the curb
weight and the weight of the accessories.
TIN (Tire Identification Number)
This is aunique identifier which can be used by
at ire manufacturer to identify tires, for example
for aproduct recall, and thus identify the pur-
chasers. The TIN is made up of the manufactur-
er's identity code, tire size, tire type code and
the manufacturing date.
Load bearing index
The load bearing index (also load index) is acode
that contains the maximum load bearing capa-
city of atire.
Traction
Traction is the result of friction between the tires
and the road surface.
Treadwear indicators
Narrow bars (tread wear bars) that are distrib-
uted over the tire tread. If the tire tread is level
with the bars, the wear limit of áin (1.6 mm)
has been reached.
Occupant distribution
The distribution of occupants in avehicle at their
designated seating positions.
Total load limit
Nominal load and luggage load plus 68 kg
(15 0lbs)m ultiplied by the number of seats in
the vehicle.
Changing awheel
Flat tire
The "Breakdown assistance" section
(Ypage 300) contains information and notes on
how to deal with aflat tire. Information on driv-
ing with MOExtended tires in the event of aflat
tire can be found under "MOExtended tires (tires
with run-flat characteristics" (
Ypage 301).
Rotating the wheels
GWARNING
Interchanging the front and rear wheels may
severely impair the driving characteristics if
the wheels or tires have different dimensions. The wheel brakes or suspension components
may also be damaged. There is arisk of acci-
dent.
Rotate front and rear wheels only if the wheels and tires are of the same dimensions.
!On vehicles equippedw ithatire pressure
monitor ,electronic components are located
in the wheel.
