CHASSIS Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction. Temperature A, B, C − 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 excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. Warning: The temperature grades for this tire are 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 buildup and possible tire failure. Tire selection When replacing a tire, use a tire of the same size and construction, and the same or greater load capacity as the originally installed tires. Also, all the tires must be the same brand and have the same tread patterns. Using any other size or type of tire may seriously affect handling, ride, speedometer/odometer calibration, ground clearance, and clearance between the body and tires or snow chains. CAUTION Observe the following instructions. Otherwise, an accident may occur resulting in death or serious injuries. D Do not mix radial, bias belted, or bias−ply tires on your vehicle, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control. D Do not use tires other than the manufacturer's recommended size, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control. D Do not use tires of different brands, sizes, construction or tread patterns, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control. 436

Warning:

The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on

braking (straight ahead) traction tests and does not include

cornering (turning) traction.

Temperature A, B, C

−

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 excessive

temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.

The grade C

corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car

tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

Standard No. 109.

Grades B and A represent higher levels of

performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum

required by law.

Warning:

The temperature grades for this tire are 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 buildup and possible tire

failure.

Tire selection

When replacing a tire, use a tire of the same size and

construction, and the same or greater load capacity as the

originally installed tires.

Also, all the tires must be the

same brand and have the same tread patterns.

Using any other size or type of tire may seriously affect

handling, ride, speedometer/odometer calibration, ground

clearance, and clearance between the body and tires or snow

chains.

CAUTION

Observe the following instructions.

Otherwise, an

accident may occur resulting in death or serious

injuries.

Do not mix radial, bias belted, or bias

ply tires on

your vehicle, as this may cause dangerous handling

characteristics resulting in loss of control.

Do not use tires other than the manufacturer³s

recommended size, as this may cause dangerous

handling characteristics resulting in loss of control.
