Owner's manual 194 → Fig. 150 Tyre lettering (example) Meaning 5 TRACTION AA Wet braking performance of the tyre (AA, A, B or C). The wet braking performance is tested under controlled condi- tions on certified test tracks. Tyres marked C have a low traction performance. The traction value assigned to the tyres is based on linear traction tests and does not include acceleration and lateral stability or aquaplaning and trac- tion under maximum load. 6 TEMPERATURE A Temperature stability of the tyre at high speeds on a test bed (A, B or C).
Tyres markedA and Btyres exceed legal re- quirements The temperature evaluation is based on tyres with correct pressure and does not allow for excess pres- sure. Excessive speed, incorrect pressure or excess pressure can cause heat build-up or tyre damage. This applies to one or a combination of these factors. 7 88 H Load code→ page 195→ page 195Speed index. 8 Rotationand arrow Denotes direction of rotation.→ page 195 Or:Outside Denotes outside of tyres.→ page 195 9 MAX INFLATION 350 KPA (51 psi / 3.51 bar) Limitation for the maximum air pressure. 10 M+SorM/Sor Denotes winter tyres (mud and snow tyres) → page 196.
