NHTSA Tyre Ratings - Explanation of Traction Ratings
Traction grades are an indication of a tyre's ability
to stop on wet pavement. A higher graded tyre should
allow a car to stop on wet roads in a shorter distance
than a tyre with a lower grade. Traction is graded from
highest to lowest as "AA", "A", "B", and "C".
Of current tyres:
