2018 DODGE DURANGO SRT tires

Ply Composition and Materials:The actual number of plies in the
sidewall and tread area and the generic name(s) of their cord material(s)
are marked on at least one sidewall. For example:
•TREAD 2 PLY POLYESTER + 2 STEEL
•SIDEWALL 2 PLY POLYESTER
Radial:Radial ply tires will have the wordradialon at least one
sidewall. An “R” in the tire size designation also indicates radial ply
construction.
Tubeless or Tube Type:Tires are marked as either “tubeless” or “tube
type,” whichever is applicable, on at least one sidewall.
UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING
The Uniform Tire Quality Grading (“UTQG”) standards are intended to
assist you in making an informed choice in your purchase of passenger
car tires by providing information indicating relative performance of
these tires in the areas of tread wear, wet braking traction (straight-
ahead), and temperature resistance. 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 the wear rate of the
tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government
test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one half
(1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The
relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their
use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to
variation 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
grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. Warning: The traction grade assigned to a tire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include
acceleration, 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 corresponds 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 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
heat buildup and a possible tire failure.

REPLACEMENT PRICE
Radial passenger and light truck tires adjusted under this Limited
Warranty will be replaced free of charge during the first 25% of tread
wear or within 12 months from the date of purchase (proof of purchase
date required; without proof of purchase date, then within 12 months
from the date of tire manufacture), whichever occurs first. During the free
replacement period, mounting and balancing are included free of charge.
To determine the replacement price after the free tire replacement period,
the percent of used tread wear is multiplied by the current selling price
for the replacement tire(s). The appropriate taxes, mounting, balancing,
disposal fee, and other service charges may be added to the adjustment
replacement price.
In Canada, the tire will be adjusted at dealerships (subject to dealer
discretion) at a predetermined “Adjustment Price.”
