g,
times
as
wellon
the
government
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.
Traction The
traction
grades,
from
highest
to
lowest,
areAA,
A,
B,
and
C.
Those
grades
represent
the
tire's
ability
to
stop
on
wet
pavement
as
measured
under
controlled
conditions
on
specified
government
test
surfa#j
ces
of
asphalt
and
concrete.
A
tire
marked
C
may have
poor
traction
performance.
The
traction
grade
assigned
to
this
tire
is
based
on
straight-ahead
braking
traction
tests,
and
does
not
include
acceleration,
cornering,
hydro#j planing,
or
peak
traction
characteristics.
Temperature
The
temperature
grades
are
A,
the
highest,
B,
and
C,
representing
the
tire's
resistance
to
the
generation
of
heat
and
its
ability
to
dissipate
heat
when
tested
under
controlled
conditions
on
a specified
indoor
laboratory
test
wheel.
Sustained
high
temperature
can
cause
the
material
of
the
tire
to
degenerate
and
reduce
tire
life,
and
exces#j
sive
temperature
can
lead
to
sudden
tire
failure.
The
grade
C
corresponds
to
a
level
of

Warning
The

is
properly
inflated
and
not overloaded.
Excessive
speed,
underinflation,
or
excessive

Tire
damage
General
informationInspect
your
tires
regularly
for
damage,
foreign
objects
lodged
in
the
tread,
and
tread
wear.
Driving
over
rough
or
damaged
road
surfaces,
aswell
as
debris,
curbs
and
other
obstacles
cancause
serious
damage
to
wheels,
tires
and
sus#j
pension
parts.
This
is
more
likely
to
occur
with low-profile
tires,
which
provide
less
cushioning
between
the
wheel
and
the
road.
Be
careful
to
avoid
road
hazards
and
reduce
your
speed,
es#j
pecially
if
your
vehicle
is
equipped
with
low-pro#j file
tires.
Indications
of
tire
damage
or
other
vehicle
mal#j
functions:
'xUnusual
vibrations.'xUnusual
tire
or
running
noises.'xUnusual
handling
such
as
a
strong
tendency
to
pull
to
the
left
or
right.
Damage
can
be
caused
by
the
following
situa#j
tions,
for
instance:
'xDriving
over
curbs.'xRoad
damage.'xTire
pressure
too
low.'xVehicle
overloading.'xIncorrect
tire
storage.
Safety
information
Warning
Damaged
tires
can
lose
tire
inflation
pressure,
which
can
lead
to
loss
of
vehicle
control.
There is
a
risk
of
accident.
If
tire
damage
is
suspected
while
driving,
immediately
reduce
speed
and
stop.
Have
wheels
and
tires
checked.
For
this
purpose,
drive
carefully
to
the
nearest
dealer#ss
service
center
or
another
qualified
service
cen#j
ter
or
repair
shop.
Have
vehicle
towed
or
trans#j
ported
as
needed.
Do
not
repair
damaged
tires,
but
have
them
replaced.
Warning
Tires
can
become
damaged
by
driving
over
ob#j
stacles,
e.g.,
curbs
or
road
damage,
at
high
speed.
Larger
wheels
have
a
smaller
tire
cross- section.
The
smaller
the
tire
cross-section,
the
higher
the
risk
of
tire
damage.
There
may
be
a
risk
of
accident
and
risk
of
damage
to
property.
If
possible,
avoid
driving
over
objects
or
road
conditions
that
may
damage
tires,
or
drive
over
them
slowly
and
carefully.
Changing

balancing
carried
out
by

Safety
information
Warning
Wheels
and
tires
which
are
not
suitable
for
your vehicle
can
damage
parts
of
the
vehicle,
for
in#j
stance
due
to
contact
with
the
body
due
to
tol#j
erances
despite
the
same
official
size
rating.
There
is
a
risk
of
an
accident.
The
manufac#j
turer
of
your
vehicle
strongly
suggests
that
you
use
wheels
and
tires
that
have
been
recom#j
mended
by
the
vehicle
manufacturer
for
your
vehicle
type.
Warning
Mounted
steel
wheels
can
cause
technical
problems,
for
instance
unexpected
loosening
of
the
lug
bolts
and
damage
to
the
brake
discs.
There
is
a
risk
of
accident.
Do
not
mount
steel
wheels.
Warning
Incorrect
wheel/tire
combinations
will
impair
the vehicle's
handling
characteristics
and
a
variety
of
system
functions,
such
as
the
Antilock
Brak#j
ing
System
(ABS)
or
Dynamic
Stability
Control.
There
is
a
risk
of
accident.
To
maintain
good
handling
and
vehicle
response,
use
only
tires
with
a
single
tread
configuration
from
a
single
manufacturer.
The
manufacturer
of
the
vehicle
recommends
that
you
use
wheels
and
tires
that
have
been
recommended
by
the
vehicle
manu#j
facturer
for
your
vehicle
type.
Following
tire
damage,
have
the
original
wheel/tire
combina#j
tion
remounted
on
the
vehicle
as
soon
as
pos#j
sible.
Recommended
tire
brands
For
each
tire
size,
the
manufacturer
of
the
vehi#j cle
recommends
certain
tire
brands.
The
tire
brands
can
be
identified
by
a
star
on
the
tire
sidewall.
New
tires Tire
traction
is
not
optimal
due
to
production-re#jlated
circumstances
when
tires
are
brand-new.
Drive
conservatively
for
the
first
200
miles/300
km.
Retreaded
tires
Warning
Retreaded
tires
can
have
different
tire
casing structures.
With
advanced
age
the
service
life
can
be
limited.
There
is
a
risk
of
an
accident.
The
manufacturer
of
your
vehicle
does
not
rec#j
ommend
the
use
of
retreaded
tires.
The

Winter
tires General
information Winter
tires
are
recommended
for
operating
on
winter
roads.
Although
so-called
all-season
tires
with
M+S identification
provide
better
winter
traction
than
summer
tires,
they
usually
do
not
provide
the
same
level
of
performance
as
winter
tires.
