 Uniform tire quality grading

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 Na-

tional Highway Traffic Safety Ad-

ministration (NHTSA) in addition to

notifying Toyota Motor Sales,

U.S.A., Inc.

(Toll-free: 1-800-331-4331).

If NHTSA receives similar com-

plaints, it may open an investiga-

tion, and if it finds that a safety de-

fect exists in a group of vehicles, it

may order a recall and remedy

campaign. However, NHTSA can-

not become involved in individual

problems between you, your deal-

er, or Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A.,

Inc.

To contact NHTSA, you may either

call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-

free at 1-800-424-9393 (or

366-0123 in Washington D.C.

area) or write to: NHTSA. U.S. De-

partment of Transportation. Wash-

ington D.C. 20590. You can also

obtain other information about mo-

tor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

This information has been prepared in ac-

cordance with regulations issued by the

National Highway Traffic Safety Adminis-

tration of the U.S. Department of Trans-

portation. It provides the purchasers and/

or prospective purchasers of Toyota

vehicles with information on uniform tire

quality grading.

Your Toyota dealer will help answer any

questions you may have as you read this

information.

DOT quality grades—All passenger

vehicle tires must conform to Federal

Safety Requirements in addition to

these grades. These quality grades are

molded on the sidewall.

Treadwear—The treadwear grade is a

comparative rating based on the wear

rate of the tire when tested under con-

trolled conditions on a specified govern-

ment test course. For example, a tire

graded 150 would wear one and a half

(1-1/2) times as well on the government

course as a tire graded 100. The relative

performance of tires depends upon the

actual conditions of their use, however,

and may depart significantly from the

norm due to variations in driving habits,

service practices and differences in road

characteristics and climate.

Traction A, B, C—The traction grades,

from highest to lowest, are A, B, and C,

and they represent the tire’s ability to stop

on wet pavement as measured under

controlled conditions on specified govern-

ment test surfaces of asphalt and con-

crete. A tire marked C may have poor trac-

tion performance.

Warning: The traction grade assigned to

this tire is based on braking (straight

ahead) traction tests and does not include

cornering (turning) traction.

Temperature A, B, C—The temperature

grades are A (the highest), B, and C, rep-

resenting the tire’s resistance to the gen-

eration of heat and its ability to dissipate

heat when tested under controlled condi-

tions on a specified indoor laboratory test

wheel. Sustained high temperature can

cause the material of the tire to degener-

ate and reduce tire life, and excessive

temperature can lead to sudden tire fail-

ure. The grade C corresponds to a level of

performance which all passenger car tires

must meet under the Federal Motor Ve-

hicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B

and A represent higher levels of perfor-

mance 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 load-

ing, either separately or in combination,

can cause heat buildup and possible tire

failure.
