If you ever replace your tires with those not having a TPC Spec number,
make sure they are the same size, load range, speed rating and
construction type (bias, bias-belted or radial) as your original tires.
A CAUTION:
Mixing tires could cause you to lose control, while driving. If you
mix tires of different sizes or types (radial and bias-belted
tires), the vehicle may not handle properly, and you could have a
crash.
Be sure to use the same size and type tires on all wheels.
It's all right to drive with your compact spare, though. It was
developed for limited use
on your vehicle.

Ungorm Tire Quality Grading
The following information relates to the system developed by the United'
States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration which grades tires
I
by treadwear, traction and temperature performance. (This applies only
to vehicles sold in the United States.)
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example, a tire graded
150 would wear one
and a half
(1 1/2) times as well on 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 -A, B, C !
-and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. I I
The traction grades, from highest to lowest are: A, B, and C. They
represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces
of asphalt
