TractionThe
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
surfa#j
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,
hydro#j 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.
Sustained
high
temperature
can
cause
the
material
of
the
tire
to
degenerate
and
reduce
tire
life,
and
exces#j
sive
temperature
can
lead
to
sudden
tire
failure.
The
grade
C
corresponds
to
a
level
of
perform#j
ance
which
all
passenger
car
tires
must
meet
un#j
der
the
Federal

Vehicle
Safety
Standard

Grades
Band
A
represent
higher
levels of

minimum
required
by
law.
Warning
The
temperature
grade
for
this
tire
is
estab#j lished
for
a
tire
that
is
properly
inflated
and
not overloaded.
Excessive
speed,
underinflation,
or
excessive
loading,
either
separately
or
in

cause
serious
damage
to
wheels,
tires
and
sus#j
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,
es#j
pecially
if
your
vehicle
is
equipped
with
low-pro#j file

Indications
of

or
other
vehicle
mal#j
functions:'xUnusual
vibrations.'xUnusual
tire
or

noises.'xUnusual
handling
such
as
a
strong
tendency
to
pull
to
the
left
or
right.
Damage
can
be
caused
by
the
following
situa#j
tions,
for
instance:
'xDriving
over
curbs.'xRoad
damage.'xTire
inflation
pressure
too
low.'xVehicle
overloading.'xIncorrect
tire
storage.
Safety
information
Warning
Damaged
tires
can
lose
tire
inflation
pressure,
which
can
lead
to
loss
of
vehicle
control.
There is
a
risk
of
accident.
If
tire
damage
is
suspected
while
driving,
immediately
reduce
speed
and
stop.
Have
wheels
and
tires
checked.
For
this
purpose,
drive
carefully
to
the
nearest
dealer#ss
service
center
or
another
qualified
service
cen#j
ter
or
repair
shop.
Have
vehicle
towed
or
trans#j ported
as
needed.
Do
not
repair
damaged
tires,
but
have
them
replaced.
Warning
Tires
can
become
damaged
by
driving
over
ob#j
stacles,
e.g.,
curbs
or
road
damage,
at
high
speed.
Larger
wheels
have
a
smaller
tire
cross- section.
The
smaller
the
tire
cross-section,
the
higher
the
risk
of
tire
damage.
There
is
a
dan#j
ger
of
accidents
and
property
damage.
If
possi#j
ble,
avoid
driving
over
objects
or
road
condi#j
tions
that
may
damage
tires,
or
drive
over
them
slowly
and
carefully.
