Subaru Forester: Uniform tire quality grading standards / TRACTION AA, A, B, C
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

braking traction tests,
and does not include acceleration,
cornering, hydroplaning,

The temperature grades are A (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...
