Subaru Forester: Uniform tire quality grading standards / TEMPERATURE 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 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 Vehicle Safety Standards
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.
If you believe that your vehicle has a
defect which could cause a crash or
could cause injury or death, you
should immediately inform the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) in addition to
notifying Subaru of America, Inc...
Other information:
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those
grades represent the tire’s ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance...
