    Temperature grades represent a


    tyre's resistance to heat, with A
    representing the best resistance
    to heat buildup and C the least

    Traction grades represent the tyre's ability to stop on wet


    pavement . "AA" may have relatively better traction
    performance than a tyre graded lower (A, B or C)

    Check your tyres regularly and ensure that:

    tyres are for the terrain/road type (H/T Blacktop only, T/A Mix graded and
    blacktop roads)
    correct tyre pressures are maintained as improper tyre inflation pressure (over
    or under) is a leading cause of tyre failure.
    all tyres on the vehicle including spares are of the same manufacturer, type,
    profile and tread pattern on the same axle.
    all tyres are radial, with a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm across 75% of the
    tyre width.
    all tyres have the Temperature Grade A rating. The Grade B (moderate weather
    condition) is not recommended and Grade C (cold weather condition) should
    not be used in Oman.
    tyres, including spares, must not be used beyond 4 years from date of
    manufacture.
    tyres may have a shelf-life of up to 2 years from date of manufacture; it is
    recommended to purchase tyres as new as possible.
