The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning or peak traction characteristics. T emperature 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 [...]

Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tire’ s load carrying capability . • kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit of air pressure. • PSI: Pounds per square inch, a standard unit of air pressure. • Cold inflation pressure: The tire pressure when the vehicle has been stationary and out of direct sunlight for an [...]

Under -inflation is the most common cause of tire failures and may result in severe tire cracking, tread separation or ⬙ blowout ⬙ , with unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury . Under -inflation increases sidewall flexing and rolling resistance, resulting in heat buildup and internal damage to the tire. It also may res[...]

Note: If you have to drive a distance to get air for your tire(s), check and record the tire pressure first and add the appropriate air pressure when you get to the pump. It is normal for tires to heat up and the air pressure inside to go up as you drive. 2. Remove the cap from the valve on one tire, then firmly press the tire gauge onto the valve [...]
