Tire Ratings
Definition:
The numbers do not correspond to a fixed mileage figure because there are so many variables that affect the life of the tread (maintaining the correct inflation pressure is one of the most important). The traction rating is a measure of the tires ability to stop on wet pavement. An "A" is the best rating, "B" is average, and "C" is the lowest acceptable rating. The temperature rating is an indication of how cool the tire runs as highway speeds. Again, an "A" is the best while "C" is the lowest acceptable rating. Performance tires also carry a speed rating: "H" rated tires are good for speeds up to 130 mph, and "V" rated tires are certified for speeds above 130 mph.
