The classification is not legally stipulated for
Canada, but it is generally stated.
Tread wear grade
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified govern-
ment test course. For example, a tire graded 150
would wear one and one-half (1\1/2\) times as
430 Wheels and tires
