Snow Tires; Information on Temporary Tires; Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects- Page 582

Traction:

 The traction grades, from highest to lowest are AA, A, B, and C. The 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.

Temperature:

 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.

Snow Tires

In some heavy snow areas, local governments may require true snow tires, those with very
deeply cut tread. These tires should only be used in pairs or placed on all four wheels. Make
sure you purchase snow tires that are the same size and construction type as the other tires
on your vehicle.
