5.  Maximum permissible inflation pressure
This number is the greatest amount 
of air pressure that should be put in 
the tire. Do not exceed the maximum 
permissible inflation pressure. Refer 
to the Tire and Loading Information 
label for recommended inflation 
pressure.
6.  Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum 
load in kilograms and pounds that 
can be carried by the tire. When 
replacing the tires on the vehicle, 
always use a tire that has the same 
load rating as the factory installed 
tire.
7.  Uniform tire quality grading
Quality grades can be found where 
applicable on the tire sidewall 
between tread shoulder and 
maximum section width.
For example:
TREAD WEAR 200
TRACTION AA
TEMPERATURE A Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a 
compar
ative 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-a-half times (1½) 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.
These grades are molded on the 
sidewalls of passenger vehicle tires. 
The tires available as standard or 
optional equipment on your vehicle 
may vary with respect to grade.
Traction AA, A, B & C
The traction grades, from highest 
t
 o 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. A tire 
marked C may have poor traction 
performance.
 WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this 
tire is based on straight-ahead 
braking traction tests, and does not 
include acceleration, cornering, 
hydroplaning, or peak traction 
characteristics.
