and does not include cornering (turning) traction.
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 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 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 grade for this tire is 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.
