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:
Treadwear200TractionAATemperatureA
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.DepartmentofTransportation-Tirequalitygrades:        The U.S.
Department of Transportation  requires Ford 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  tires 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.
