INFORMATION ABOUT UNIFORM TIRE  QUALITY GRADING
New vehicles  are  fitted with  tires
that  have a  rating on  them  called
Tire Quality  Grades.  The Quality
grades  can be  found  where
applicable  on the  tire  sidewall
between  tread  shoulder  and
maximum  section  width. For
example:
Treadwe  ar  200  Tract ion  AA  Tempe rature    A
These  Tire Quality  Grades are  determined   by standards   that  the United
States  Department   of Transportation   has set.
Tire Quality  Grades  apply to  new pneumatic   tires for  use on  passenger
cars.  They do  not apply  to deep  tread,  winter-type  snow  tires,
space-saver  or  temporary  use  spare  tires,  tires with  nominal  rim
diameters  of 10  to 12 inches  or  limited production   tires  as defined  in
Title 49  Code of Federal  Regulations  Part  575.104( c)(2).
U.S.  Depa rtme nt  of  Transpor   tation  -Tir e qu alit y grade  s: The  U.S.
Department   of Transportation   requires  Ford  Motor Company  to give  you
the  following information  about  tire  grades exactly  as  the government
has written   it.
Treadwear
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 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.
