the ground is sometimes called flat towing.
This method is sometimes used when
towing a vehicle behind a recreational ve-

The traction grades, from highest to low-

sent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pave-
ment as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction perfor-
mance.
