Where you can find these information ?

Temperature Resistance

Temperature Resistance - These letters indicates a tire's resistance to heat.

From highest to lowest, a tire's resistance to heat is graded as "A", "B", or "C".

A - Hot Area

B - Normal Weather Area

C - Cold Area

Treadwear Number

This number indicates the tire's wear rate. The higher the treadwear number is, the longer it should take for the tread

to wear down. For example, a tire graded 400 should last twice as long as a tire graded 200.

Traction

This letter indicates a tire's ability to stop on wet pavement. A higher graded tire should allow you to stop your car on wet roads in a shorter distance than a tire with a lower grade.

Traction is graded from highest to lowest as "AA","A", "B", and "C".
