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

B -  Danger zone: when the air pressure is 0.3 bar (4.4 PSI) below specification, the temperature rises to above 120 °C (248 °F) at higher speeds.

C -  Critical temperature limit: the tire defect is triggered.

T -  Temperature in °C

t -  Driving time in minutes
