optional accessories are, automatic transmission/
transaxle, power steering, power brakes, power
windows, power seats, and air conditioning.

Aspect Ratio:

The relationship of a tire’s height

to its width.

Belt:

A rubber coated layer of cords that is

located between the plies and the tread. Cords
may be made from steel or other reinforcing

are laid at alternate angles less than 90 degrees
to the centerline of the tread.

Cold Tire Pressure:

The amount of air pressure

in a tire, measured in pounds per square inch (psi)
or kilopascals (kPa) before a tire has built up
heat from driving. See
