DOT
Quality
Grades
Treadwear
Traction AA A B C
Temperature A B C
All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to
these grades.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified gov~
ernment test course. E.g., a tire graded 150
would wear one and one-half, 1 g, times as well
on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends uponthe actual conditions of their use, however, andmay depart significantly from the norm due tovariations in driving habits, service practicesand differences in road characteristics and cli~
mate.
Traction
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.
Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop
on wet pavement as measured under control~
led conditions on specified government test
surfaces 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, hy~
droplaning, 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 ma~ terial of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire
life, and excessive temperature can lead tosudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to
a level of performance which all passenger ve~
hicle tires must meet under the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades Band A
represent higher levels of performance on the
laboratory test wheel than the minimum re~
quired by law.
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is es~
tablished for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla~tion, or excessive loading, either separately orin combination, can cause heat buildup andpossible tire failure. '

Minimum
tread
depth
Wear indicators are distributed around the tire's
circumference and have the legally required
minimum height of 0.063 inches/1.6 mm.
They are marked on the side of the tire with
TWI, Tread Wear Indicator.
Tire
damage General
information
Inspect your tires regularly for damage, foreign
objects lodged in the tread, and tread wear.
Driving over rough or damaged road surfaces,
as well as debris, curbs and other obstacles can cause serious damage to wheels, tires and sus~
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~ pecially if your vehicle is equipped with low-
profile tires.
Indications of tire damage or other vehicle mal~
functions:
'

Safety
informationWARNING
Wheels and tires which are not suitable
for your vehicle can damage parts of the vehi~ cle, for instance due to contact with the body
due to tolerances despite the same official size
rating. There is a risk of an accident. The manu~
facturer of your vehicle strongly suggests that you use wheels and tires that have been rec~ommended by the vehicle manufacturer for
your vehicle type. '

Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation pres~
sure indicated on the side wall of the tire.
Run-flat
tires ConceptRunflat tires permit continued driving under re~
stricted conditions even in the event of a com~
plete loss of tire inflation pressure.
General
information The wheels are composed of tires that are self-supporting to a limited degree.
The support of the sidewall allows the tire to re~ main drivable to a restricted degree in the
event of a tire inflation pressure loss.
Follow the instructions for continued driving
with a flat tire.
Label
RSC label on the tire sidewall.
Changing
run-flat
tires
For your own safety, only use run-flat tires. No
spare tire is available in the case of a flat tire.
