have poor traction performance.
The   relative  performance   of   tires
depends  upon the  actual conditions
of  their  use. However,  performance
may differ from  the norm because of
variations  in  driving  habits,  service
practices   and  differences   in   road
characteristics and climate.
These  grades   are  molded   on  the
side-walls of passenger vehicle  tires.
The  tires  available   as  standard  or

Standard  (CMVSS) for  grading tires

ture performance.
B  and C.  The grades  represent  the
tires resistance  to the  generation of
heat and  its ability  to  dissipate heat
when tested  under  controlled condi-
tions  on  a  specified 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. Grades  A and  B
represent  higher  levels  of  perform-
ance  on  the   laboratory  test  wheel
than  the  minimum  required  by   the
law.
