Proper tire maintenance such as regularly checking and inflating tires to the proper pressure is important for safety and performance. Key information found on tires includes temperature resistance ratings, treadwear numbers, traction ratings, maximum load capacity, speed symbol, and manufacturing date. Maintaining proper tire pressure and avoiding overloading tires can improve handling, protect from accidents, improve fuel economy, and increase tire life.

1. Tire Safety

2. Studies of tire safety show that maintaining proper tire pressure, observing tire and vehicle load limits,and inspecting tires for cuts, slashes, and other irregularities are the most important things you can do to avoid tire failure, such as tread separation or blowout and flat tires. These actions, along with other care and maintenance activities, can also: - Improve vehicle handling - Help protect you and others from avoidable breakdowns and accidents - Improve fuel economy - Increase the life of your tires.

4. Where you can find these information ?

5. Temperature Resistance 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". Symbol Area A Hot Area B Normal Weather Area C Cold Area

7. Traction 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".

8. Max. Load Capacity & tire Speed Symbol Number indicates the max. load that can be carried by the tire. Symbol indicates the max. Speed at which a tire is designed to be driven for extended periods of time.
