Tire Safety

Tire Safety 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.

What Information’s you must know about your Car Tires • Temperature Resistance • Traction • Tread wear • Max. Load Capacity /tire • Speed Symbol • Manufacturing Date

Where you can find these information ?

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 Cold Area C

Treadwear Number This number indicates the tire's wear rate. The higher the treadwear number is, the longer it should take for the tread to wear down. For example, a tire graded 400 should last twice as long as a tire graded 200.

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", "B", and "C".

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.

Manufacturing Date 37 05 Week No. 37 Year 2005 This Tire has been made in Week 37 from year 2005

Steps for Maintaining Proper Tire Condition

Reduces irregular wear

Radar Sign: white/bright yellow background with Black/Blue word Traffic & Direction Signboard: Blue Background with White word If you see signboard with WHITE/YELLOW background, reduce speed lock at max 120 KM/h before that signboard!

OR If you see a bridge at the front, reduce your speed & make it 120 KM/h. Sometime police patrol with Radar Gun standby right under that bridge

OTHER Keep in eye for the signs of Police Patrols coming from both side: same way or opposite way of us. Police usually use SUV (Land Cruiser/Pathfinder) and Sedan with White-Blue color.
