2006 Ford Taurus Owners Manual

Tires, Wheels and Loading
The traction grade  assigned to this  tire is based on
straight-ahead braking traction  tests, and does  not include
acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning  or peak traction  characteristics.
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 Standard No.  109. Grades B  and A represent higher  levels of
performance on the  laboratory test wheel  than the minimum required  by
law.
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.
TIRES
Tires are designed  to give many  thousands of miles of  service, but they
must be maintained  in order to  get the maximum benefit  from them.
Glossary of tire terminology
SafetyComplianceCertificationLabel:     A label  showing the OE
(Original Equipment) tire  sizes, recommended inflation  pressure and
the maximum weight  the vehicle can  carry.
TireIdentificationNumber(TIN):     A number  on the sidewall of
each tire providing  information about the  tire brand and
manufacturing plant, tire  size and date  of manufacture.
Inflationpressure:  A  measure of the  amount of air in  a tire.
Standardload:  A  class of P-metric  or Metric tires designed  to carry a
maximum load at  35 psi [37  psi (2.5 bar) for  Metric tires]. Increasing
the inflation pressure  beyond this pressure  will not increase the  tire’s
load carrying capability.
Extraload:  A  class of P-metric  or Metric tires designed  to carry a
heavier maximum load  at 41 psi  [43 psi (2.9 bar)  for Metric tires].
