Maintaining proper tire pressure, observing load limits, and inspecting tires for cuts or other irregularities are the most important things one can do to avoid tire failure and accidents. Taking these steps, along with other maintenance activities, can improve vehicle handling, protect drivers from breakdowns, improve fuel economy, and increase tire life. Key information printed on tires includes temperature resistance, traction, treadwear ratings, load capacity, speed symbol, and manufacturing date.

5. Temperature ResistanceTemperature Resistance
Symbol Area
A Hot Area
B Normal Weather Area
C Cold Area
These letters indicates a tire's resistance to
heat. From highest to lowest, a tire's resistance
to heat is graded as "A", "B", or "C".

6. Treadwear NumberTreadwear Number
This number indicates the
tire's wear rate.
The higher the treadwear
number is, the longer it
should take for the tread to
wear down.
For example, a tire graded
400 should last twice as long
as a tire graded 200.

7. TractionTraction
This letter indicates a tire's
ability to stop on wet pavement.
A higher graded tire should
allow you to stop your car on wet
roads in a shorter distance than a
tire with a lower grade. Traction
is graded from highest to lowest
as "AA","A", "B", and "C".
