Tread wear
WARNING
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-

Maximum permissible inflation
pressure
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.
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     half  times (1½)  as well  on the  gov-

Maximum load rating
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.
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.
