Traction Rating This shows how well the tyre grips on wet roads. The grades are: AA (excellent), A (good), B (moderate), and C (poor). Temperature Rating This tells you how well the tyre resists heat. High heat resistance means the tyre won’t overheat and burst at high speeds. Grades: A (best), B, and C. Load Index This number shows how much weight one tyre can safely carry. You must match this to your vehicle's weight class. Speed Rating This tells you the maximum speed the tyre can handle safely.

2. Keep a fire extinguisher in the vehicle.
3. Avoid overloading or carrying flammable materials.
4. Park in well-ventilated areas, away from open flames.

During a fire:
1. Stay calm and get everyone out of the vehicle.
2. Move to a safe distance (at least 10 feet away).
3. Call the fire department or emergency services.

    - Aim at the base of the fire.
    - Squeeze the handle.
    - Sweep the nozzle from side to side.
