CAUTION  
The temperature grades are A (the  
highest), B and C representing the tyre’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 tyre to degenerate  
and reduce tyre life, and excessive  
temperature can lead to sudden tyre  
failure. Grades B and A represent higher  
levels of performance on the laboratory  
test wheel than the minimum required  
by law.

ratio tyre is shorter than a standard  
tyre, the rim of the wheel and the  
tyre itself are more easily more easily  
susceptible to damage. Use caution  
when driving and follow the guidelines  
below to help minimise damage to the  
wheel and tyre:

if there is the slightest hint of tyre  
damage, have the tyre checked or  
replaced because the tyre damage  
may cause air leakage from the tyre.

WARNING  
The temperature grade for this tyre is  
established for a tyre that is properly  
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive  
speed, under-inflation, over-inflation,  
or excessive loading, either separately  
or in combination, can cause heat  
build-up and possible sudden tyre  
failure. This may cause loss of vehicle  
control resulting in an accident.  
Low aspect ratio tyres  
Low aspect ratio tyres, the aspect ratio  
is lower than 50, are provided for sporty  
looks.  
Because low aspect ratio tyres are  
optimized for handling and braking, their  
sidewall is a little stiffer than a standard  
tyre. Also, low aspect ratio tyres tend to  
be wider so that they consequently have  
a greater contact patch with the road  
surface. In some instances, they may  
generate more road noise compared  
with standard tyres.
