Overview ofTire Quality GradingStand -
ard s Uniform
TireQuality Grading Standards areU.S.
governmen tspecifications. Theirpurpose isto
provide driverswithuniform reliableinformation
on tire performance data.Tiremanufacturers
have tograde tiresusing threeperformance fac-
tors: 0043tread weargrade, 0044tract iongrade and
0087 temperature grade.Theseregulations donot
apply toCanada. Nevertheless, alltires soldin
North America areprovided withthecorre-
sponding qualitygrading markings onthe side-
wall ofthe tire.
Quality gradescanbefound, whereapplicab le,
on the tire sidewal lbetween treadshoulder and
maximum sectionwidth. Example:
R Tread weargrade: 200
R Tra ction grade: AA
R Temper aturegrade: A
All passenger cartires must confor mto the stat-
utory safety requirements inaddition tothese
grades.
i The
actual values fortires arevehicle-spe-
cific andmay deviate fromthevalues inthe
illustration.
Tread wear The
treadwear gradeisacomparative rating
based onthe wear rateofthe tire when tested
under controlled condition son aspecified U.S.
governmen tcourse. Forexample, atire graded
150 would wearoneandone-half timesaswell
on the governmen tcourse asatire graded 100.
The relative performance oftires depends upon
the actual condition sof their use,however, and
may depart significantly fromthenorm dueto
variations indriving habits, service practices
and differences inroad characterist icsand cli-
mate.
Tra ction G
WARNING
The tract iongrade assigned tothis tireis
based onstraight- aheadbraking traction
tests, anddoes notinclude acceleration, cor-
nering, hydropla ning,orpeak tractionchar-
acteristic s.
! Avoid
wheelspin. Thiscanlead todamage to
the drive train.
The tract iongrades –from highest tolowest –
are AA, A,Band C.Those grades represent the
tire's abilityto stop onwet pavement asmeas-
ured under controlled condition son specified
governmen ttest surfaces ofasphalt andcon-
crete. Atire marked Cmay have poortraction
performance.
The safe speed onawet, snow covered oricy
road isalwa yslower thanondry road surfaces.
You should payspecial attentiontoroad condi-
tions when temperatures arearound freezing
point.

Observe
thelegal lyrequired minimum tiretread
depth (Ypage 291). Winter tirescanreduce the
braking distance onsnow-covered surfacesin
comparison withsummer tires.Thebraking dis-
tance isstill much further thanonsurfaces that

Temper ature G
WARNING
The temperature gradeforthis tireisestab-
lished foratire that isproperly inflatedand
not overloaded .Exc essive speed, underinfla-
tion, orexcessive loading,either separately or
in combination, cancause excessive heat
buil d-up andpossible tirefailu re.
The temperature gradesareA(the highest), B,
and C,representing thetire's resistance tothe
generation ofheat anditsabil itytodissipa te
heat when tested undercontrolled conditions
on aspecified indoorlaboratorytestwheel. Sus-
tained hightemperature cancause thematerial
of the tire todegenerate andreduce tirelife, and
excessive temperature canlead tosudden tire

Observe theinstr uctions andsafety notesinthe
"Changing awheel" section (Ypage 310).
The wear pattern son the front andrear tires
differ, depending onthe operating conditions.
Rotate thewheels beforeaclear wearpattern
has formed onthe tires. Fronttires typically
wear more onthe shoulders andtherear tires in
the cent er.
On vehicles thathave thesame sizefront and
rear wheels, youcan rotat ethe wheels accord-
ing tothe inter valsinthe tire manufact urer's
warranty bookinyour vehicle document s.Ifno
warranty bookisavailabl e,the tires should be
rotat edevery 3,000 to6,000 miles(5,000 to
10,00 0km ).Dependin gon tire wear, thismay
be required earlier.Donot change thedirection
of wheel rotation.
Clean thecont actsurfaces ofthe wheel andthe
brake discthoroughly everytimeawheel isrota-
ted. Check thetire pressure and,ifnecessary,
restart thetire pressure losswarning system
(Canada only)orthe tire pressure monitor(USA
only). Direction
ofrota tion
Tires withaspecified directionofrotat ionhave
additional benefits,e.g. ifthere isarisk ofhydro-
planing. Theseadvantages canonly begained if
the tires areinstalled correspon dingtothe
direction ofrotat ion.
An arrow onthe sidewall ofthe tire indicates its
correc tdirection ofrotat ion. Storing

Raising thevehicle G
WARNING
If you donot position thejack correct lyat the
appropriate jackingpoint ofthe vehicle, the
jack could tipover withthevehicle raised.
There isarisk ofinjury.
Only position thejack atthe appropriate jack-

ing away byapply ingthe parking brakeand
insertin gwheel chocks.Do not disengage the
parking brakewhilethevehicle israised.
R The jack must beplaced onafirm, flatand
non- slipsurface. Onaloose surface, alarge,
flat, load-bearing underlaymustbeused. Ona
slippery surface, anon- slipunderlay mustbe
used, e.g.rubber mats.
R Do not use wooden blocksorsimilar objects
as ajack underlay. Otherwise, thejack willnot
be able toachieve itsload-bearing capacity
due tothe restrict edheight.
R Make surethatthedistance between the
underside ofthe tires andtheground doesnot
exceed 1.2in(3 cm).
R Never placeyourhands andfeet under the
raised vehicle.
R Do not lieunder thevehicle.
R Do not start theengine whenthevehicle is
raised.
R Do not open orclose adoor orthe trunk lid
when thevehicle israised.
R Make surethatnopersons arepresent inthe
