Tread wear

Maximum permissible inflation

WARNING - Tire age
The tread wear  grade is a compara-
tive rating based on  the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled
conditions  on   a  specified   govern-
ment test course. For example, a tire
graded  150 would  wear  one-and-a-
half times  (1½)  as well  on the  gov-
ernment course as a tire graded 100.
This number  is the greatest  amount
of air pressure  that should be  put in
the tire. Do not exceed the maximum
permissible inflation pressure.  Refer
to the  Tire and  Loading Information
label   for    recommended    inflation
pressure.
Tires  degrade  over  time,  even
when they  are  not being  used.
Regardless   of   the  remaining
tread,  it  is  recommended  that
tires generally be replaced after
six (6)  years of normal  service.
Heat caused  by hot climates  or
frequent   high   loading   condi-
tions  can accelerate  the  aging
process.  Failure  to  follow  this
Warning  can  result  in  sudden
tire failure,  which could lead  to
a  loss  of control  and  an  acci-
dent involving serious  injury or
death.
The  relative   performance   of  tires
depends upon  the actual  conditions
of   their   use,   however,  and   may
depart  significantly   from  the  norm
because   of   variations    in  driving
always use  a tire that  has the same     habits,  service  practices  and differ-
load  rating  as  the  factory  installed     ences in road characteristics and cli-
mate.

This number indicates the  maximum

Tire ply composition and material
The number of layers or plies of  rub-
ber-coated fabric are  in the tire. Tire
manufacturers also must indicate the
materials  in  the  tire,  which include
steel,  nylon,  polyester,  and  others.
For example:
The letter  "R" means radial  ply con-     TREADWEAR 200
