Tire terminology and definitions
Air  Pressure:  The   amount  of   air
inside  the tire  pressing  outward  on
the tire. Air pressure  is expressed in
kilopascal    (kPa)   or   pounds    per
square inch (psi).
Accessory Weight: This means  the
combined weight  of  optional acces-
sories.  Some  examples  of  optional
accessories are, automatic transaxle,
power seats, and air conditioning.
Aspect Ratio: The  relationship of  a
tire's height to its width.
Belt: A rubber  coated layer of cords
that is located between the plies and
the tread. Cords  may be made  from
steel or other reinforcing materials.
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 condi-
tions 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. Grades B  and A
represent  higher  levels  of  perform-
ance  on  the  laboratory  test  wheel
than the minimum required by law.
temperature
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
build-up  and  possible   sudden
tire failure. This can  cause loss
of  vehicle  control  and  serious
injury or death.
Bead: The  tire  bead  contains steel
wires  wrapped  by  steel  cords  that
hold the tire onto the rim.
Bias  Ply Tire:  A  pneumatic  tire  in
which the  plies are  laid at  alternate
angles less  than  90 degrees  to the
centerline of the tread.
