Tread wear

Maximum load rating
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.
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.
This number indicates the  maximum
load  in  kilograms  and  pounds  that
can  be   carried  by  the   tire.  When
replacing  the  tires   on  the  vehicle,
always use  a tire that  has the same
load  rating  as  the  factory  installed
tire.
WARNING
The traction  grade assigned  to
this  tire  is  based  on  straight-
ahead   braking  traction   tests,
and does  not include  accelera-
tion,  cornering,   hydroplaning,
or peak traction characteristics.
These  grades   are  molded  on  the
side-walls of passenger vehicle tires.
The  tires  available  as  standard  or
optional  equipment on  your  vehicle
may vary with respect to grade.
