significantly from the norm due to variations in

driving habits, service practices, and differences in

road characteristics and climate.

Traction AA A B C

The traction grades, from highest to lowest are AA,

A, B, and C. The 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.

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.

Temperature A B C

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 failure. The

grade C corresponds to a level of performance which

all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal

Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B

and A represent higher levels of performance on the

laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by

law.

The temperature grade for this tire is

established for a tire that is properly inflated

and not overloaded. Excessive speed,

underinflation, or excessive loading, either

separately or in combination, can cause heat

buildup and possible tire failure.
