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

wheel and 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.
