Consumer Information
This has been prepared as required of all manufacturers of passenger cars under Title 49,
Code of U.S. Federal Regulations, Part 575 pursuant to the "National Traffic and
Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966".
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Refer to the tire sidewall for the specific tire grades for the tires with which this vehicle is equipped.
All passenger car tires must conform to federal safety requirements in addition to these grades.
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 (11/2)
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 "A", "B", "C"
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are "A", "B", and "C", and they 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 braking (straight ahead) traction
tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.
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.
Warning !
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
excessive heat build up and possible tire failure.
