Temperature -A, B & C
Low aspect ratio tire
(if equipped)
The temperature grades of a  tire are
A, B  and C,  from the highest  to the
lowest, representing  the heat-resist-
ing and the heat-dissipating capabili-
ty. A tire is  tested under a controlled
condition on a specified  indoor labo-
ratory test wheel.
A low  aspect ratio  tire, of  which the
aspect  ratio   is  lower   than   50,  is
designed  for  a  sporty-look  vehicle.
The  low aspect  ratio  is  to optimize
handling  and  braking. Thus,  it  may
be uncomfortable  to ride and  it may
generate noises, in  comparison with
a normal tire.
Continuous driving at a high temper-
ature may degenerate  the tire mate-
rials and  reduce the  tire life. Also,  a
quick   temperature    increase   may
cause  a sudden  tire  failure.   A  tire
with the grade  C just meets the per-
formance    level   required    by   the
Federal Vehicle Safety Standard  No.
CAUTION
The  side  wall  of a  low  aspect
ratio tire is shorter than the nor-
mal  one. Thus,  the  low-aspect
wheel  and tire  are  easily dam-
aged. Follow the  below instruc-
tions.
•  When driving on a rough road
or driving  off a road, be  care-
ful  not  to   damage  the  tires
and   wheels.    After   driving,
inspect the tires and wheels.
109,
which all  tires for  a passenger
vehicle must meet.  Grades  A and B
represent a higher performance level
of a tire on the indoor laboratory  test
wheel,   above   the    minimum   law
requirement.
WARNING
When passing over a pothole,
speed    bump,   manhole,    or
curb  stone,  slowly  drive  the
vehicle   not  to   damage   the
tires and wheels.
When there is  an impact on  a
tire, inspect the tire condition.
Or,   contact    an   authorized
EQUUS dealer.

Tire 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.
•  Inspect the tire  condition and
pressure   every   1,800  miles
(3,000  km)  to  prevent   a  tire
damage.
