A - Normal range. When maintaining the specified tire pressure, the temperature remains stable

B - Danger zone. When the air pressure is 0.3 bar (4.35 psi) below specification, the temperature rises to above 120° C (32° F) at higher speeds

C - Critical temperature limit. The tire defect is triggered

T - Temperature

t - Driving time in minutes
