The  relative   performance   of  tires
depends upon  the actual  conditions
of   their   use,   however,  and   may
depart  significantly   from  the  norm

and does  not include  accelera-
tion,  cornering,   hydroplaning,
or peak traction characteristics.
For example:
TREADWEAR 200

TEMPERATURE A
These  grades   are  molded  on  the
