Traction A Temperature A

…determines traction under one specific condition (locked-wheel braking on wet pavement). UTQG traction tests do not evaluate dry braking, dry cornering, wet cornering or high speed hydroplaning resistance. If I live in a hot climate, should I be looking for an "A" temperature rating? Only…

…describe the temperature where a summer performance tire's grip/slip performance changes dramatically. This means the summer performance tires that provide predictable traction in warm to hot conditions will be found to be very challenging to drive in cold to freezing temperatures. This is…

…temperatures and down with lower). This means that a properly inflated tire at 85 degrees could lose approximately 5 psi if the temperature were to drop to freezing (32 degrees). To gain a better understanding of how temperature affects your tire's air pressure, read "Air Pressure, Temperature…

…Tires in Cold Temperatures Like the motorsports tires they have evolved from, all Extreme Performance Summer performance category tires feature constructions and compounds that have been tuned to maximize traction and performance within a range of warm-to-hot ambient temperatures. Therefore, unlike…

…alloy wheels. They are designed to provide dry, wet and snow-covered road competence by delivering traction throughout winter's cold temperatures.The SP Winter Sport 3D utilizes Dunlop's reactive silica mixing process enabling its tread compound to provide high elasticity at low temperatures ...

…was enacted and will then appear later on tires that have had the required wet traction all along, but were introduced when the single A was the highest available grade. Temperature (Resistance) Grades The UTQG Temperature Grade indicates the extent to which heat is generated and/or dissipated by a…

…ability to grip through snow and ice. Their rubber compounds remain flexible in cold temperatures while their tread designs bite through snow and ice, as well as maintain excellent levels of wet and dry road traction in severe cold weather conditions. The MICHELIN X-Ice Xi3 and Latitude X-Ice …

…winter temperatures is about -50 Fahrenheit...which results in a potential loss of about 5 psi as winter's temperatures set in. And a 5 psi loss is enough to sacrifice handling, traction, and durability! Additionally, the difference between cold nighttime temperatures and hot daytime temperatures in…

…Tires in Cold Temperatures Like the motorsports tires they have evolved from, all Track & Competition DOT performance category tires feature constructions and compounds that have been tuned to maximize traction and performance within a range of warm-to-hot ambient temperatures. Therefore, unlike…

…some of those stronger bonds. Breaking down these stronger bonds compromises the tire's ultimate grip. In order to get the most life and best traction from your competition tires it's recommended to heat cycle them before competitive use. Tire Rack uses a heat cycling process which puts an…
