Tyre Size
Many of us have
bought tyres in the
past and we are asked
the sizes we just read
them from the old
tyres and give to the
persons at the tyre
shops. But, what do
those numbers mean?

Traction
• Traction is a tyre’s ability to stop
on wet pavement. A higher
graded tyre should allow you to
stop your vehicle on a wet road
in a shorter distance than a tyre
with lower grade
• Traction is graded from highest
to lowest as ”AA”, “A”, “B” and
“C”

Treadwear
The treadwear number
indicates the rate at which the
tyre wears out. The higher the
treadwear the longer it should
take the tyre to wear out.
Hence, a tyre graded at 400
should last twice as long as a
tyre graded at 200
