in
the
tire
inflation

table
The
tire
inflation
pressure
specifications
in
the
tire
inflation

only
relate
to
cold

at
the
same

Only
check
the
tire
inflation
pressure
levels
when
the
tires
are
cold,
i.e.:'xDriving

1.25
miles/2
km
has
not
been
exceeded.'xIf
the
vehicle
has
not
moved
again
for
at
least 2
hours
after
a
trip.
Check
the
tire
inflation
pressure
of
the
emerj
gency
wheel
in
the
cargo
area
regularly,
and
corj rect
it
as
needed.
1.Determine,
refer
to
page
328,
the
intended
tire
inflation
pressure
levels
for
the
mounted
tires.2.Check
the
tire
inflation
pressure
in
all
four
tires,
using
a
pressure
gage,
for
example.3.Correct
the
tire
inflation
pressure
if
the

deviates
from the
specified
value.4.Check
whether
all

are
screwed
onto
the

All

tires
must
conform
to
Fedj
eral
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
govj
ernment
test
course.
E.g.,
a
tire
graded
150
would
wear
one
and
one-half,
1
g,
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
variations
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
surfaj
ces
of
asphalt
and
concrete.
A
tire
marked
C
may have
poor
traction
performance.
The
traction
grade
assigned
to
this
tire
is
based
on
straight-ahead
braking
traction
tests,
and
does
not
include
acceleration,
cornering,
hydroj planing,
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.
Sustainedhigh
temperature
can
cause
the
material
of
the
tire
to
degenerate
and
reduce
tire
life,
and
excesj
sive
temperature
can
lead
to
sudden
tire
failure.
The
grade
C
corresponds
to
a
level
of
performj
ance
which
all
passenger
car
tires
must
meet

the
Federal

Warning
The
temperature
grade
for
this
tire
is
estabj
lished
for
a
tire
that
is
properly
inflated
and
not overloaded.
Excessive
speed,
underinflation,
or
excessive
loading,
either
separately

Tire
damage
General
information Inspect
your
tires
regularly
for
damage,
foreign
objects
lodged
in
the
tread,
and
tread
wear.
Driving
over
rough
or
damaged
road
surfaces,
as
well
as
debris,
curbs
and
other
obstacles
can
cause
serious
damage
to
wheels,
tires
and
susj
pension
parts.
This
is
more
likely
to
occur
with
low-profile
tires,
which
provide
less
cushioning
between
the
wheel
and
the
road.
Be
careful
to
avoid
road
hazards
and
reduce
your
speed,
esj
pecially
if
your
vehicle
is
equipped
with
low-proj file
tires.
