9-10 Technical information
GUID-20B67FFB-0D9E-4312-B9DC-80F2A53809B3
Quality Grades: All passenger car tires must conform
to local safety requirements in addition to these
grades.
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the
tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum
section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
TREADWEAR
GUID-0571FFF5-1F89-4F2D-8C54-B33C79A693D9
The treadwear grade is a comparative 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 one-
half (1 1/2) 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 AA, A, B AND C
GUID-538BC64D-3FD2-4494-8890-59A412EBD485
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 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, hydro-
planing, or peak traction characteristics.
TEMPERATURE A, B AND C
GUID-F9830A06-6911-457A-B0D7-F963C50D95EC
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 excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire
fail ure. The grad e C corresponds to a level of
performance which all passenger car tires must meet
under the local regulations. Grades B and A represent
higher levels of performance on the laboratory test
wheel than the minimum required by law.
WARNING:
The temperature grade for this tire is estab-
lished for a tire that is properly inflated and not
overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or
excessive loading, either separately or in com-
bination, can cause heat build-up and possible
tire failure.
