Traction T/A
Outstanding all-season performance.
What it is: The tire that takes all-season traction to a new level. 15% more dry traction*. 10% more wet traction*.
10% more snow traction*. For more control 365 days a year. H- and V-rated sizes come with a 60,000-mile
Manufacturer’s Limited Treadlife warranty, T-rated sizes with a 70,000-mile Manufacturer’s Limited Treadlife
warranty. See warranty for details.
Who it’s for: Coupe, sedan, minivan and mini-SUV owners who won’t compromise when it comes to smooth ride,
long treadlife – and outstanding all-season performance.
Features:
Benefits:
• Premium high-silica tread compound (H/V)
• Helps provide exceptional grip in dry, wet and snow
without sacrificing tread life**
• Excellent strength, smooth ride, consistent footprint and
maximized tread contact area under high-speed
conditions
• Usually found only in premium, high-performance tires
and racing tires; helps increase water evacuation for
improved wet traction
• Profile technology adapted from our Traction T/A®
racing tire helps provide flatter footprint, maximizing
contact in dry and shallow water for excellent
acceleration, cornering and braking
• Reinforced sidewalls in cornering and lane-change
maneuvers for crisp, sure response to steering inputs
• T, H, V-rated: capable of speeds up to 118 mph†
(T-Rated), 130 mph (H-Rated), 149 mph (V-Rated)
• ETEC System™ (Equal TEnsion Containment)
• Directional tread pattern
• Racing-derived tread profile
• g-Wedge™ sidewall stabilizers
*As compared to P225/60R16 BFGoodrich® Touring T/A® TR4
tire in dry handling, wet handling and snow traction tests.

∆Differs from tread pattern shown.
For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence
of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and
Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.
1. The dimensions shown are average values for tires measured on specified measuring rim width. Individual tires may vary from
data shown.
2. Section width varies approximately 0.2” (5mm) for every 0.5” change in rim width.
†For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.

DANGER: Never mount a 16” diameter tire on a 16.5” rim.

Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a
replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that
the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed rated
tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.

WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To assure correct air pressure
and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner’s manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result
from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never
inflate beyond 40 psi to seat beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle
owner’s manual for its recommendations.
