te mp erature ch aracteristics. The qu ality grading
assessment is made by th e manufacturer fo llow‐
ing specifications from th e U. S. go ve rn ment. The
qu ality gr ade of a tire is imprinted on th e side
wa ll of th e tire.
Re commended tire pressu re : th e re commen‐
ded tire pressure is th e tire pressure specified
fo r th e tires mounted to th e ve hicle at th e fa c‐
to ry .
The tire and information ta ble con ta ins th e re c‐
ommended tire pressures fo r cold tires, th e max‐
imum permissible load and th e maximum per‐
missible ve hicle speed.
The tire pressure ta ble con ta ins th e re commen‐
ded tire pressures fo r cold tires under va ri ous
operating conditions, i.e. loading and/or speed
of th e ve hicle.
Increased ve hicle we ight due to optional
equipment: th e combined we ight of all st andard
and optional equipment av ailable fo r th e ve hicle, re ga rd less of whe th er it is actually ins ta lled on
th e ve hicle or not.
Rim: th e part of th e wheel on which th e tire is
ins ta lled.
GA WR (Gross Axle We ight Ra ting): th e GAWR
is th e maximum permissible axle load. The
actual load on an axle must ne ve r exc eed th e
gros s axle we ight ra ting. The gross axle we ight
ra ti ng
can be fo und on th e ve hicle identification
plate on th e B‑pillar on th e driver's side.
Speed ra ting: th e speed ra ting is pa rt of th e tire
identification. It specifies th e speed ra nge fo r
which a tire is appr ove d.
GV W (Gross Ve hicle We ight): th e gross ve hicle
we ight comprises th e we ight of th e ve hicle
including fuel, to ols, th e spare wheel, accesso‐
ri es ins ta lled, occupants, luggage and th e trailer
dr aw bar nose we ight, if applicable. The gros s
ve hicle we ight must not exc eed th e gross ve hicle
we ight ra ting GV WR as specified on th e ve hicle
identification plate on th e B‑pillar on th e driver's
side.
GV WR (Gross Ve hicle We ight Ra ting): th e
GV WR is th e maximum permitted gross we ight of th e fully laden ve hicle (weight of th e ve hicle
including all accessories, occupants, fuel, lug‐
ga ge and th e trailer dr aw bar nose we ight if appli‐
cable). The gros s ve hicle we ight ra ting is speci‐
fi ed on th e ve hicle identification plate on th e
B‑pillar on th e driver's side.
Maximum we ight of th e laden ve hicle: th e
maximum we ight is th e sum of th e curb we ight
of th e ve hicle, th e we ight of th e accesso ri es, th e
maximum load and th e we ight of optional equip‐
ment ins ta lled at th e fa ctor y.
Kilopascal (kPa): metric unit fo r tire pressu re .
6.9 kPa cor re sponds to 1 psi. Ano th er unit fo r
tire pressu re is bar . 10 0 ki lopascal (kPa) equals
1
bar.
Load index: in addition to th e load-bearing
index, th e load index may also be imprinted on
th e side wa ll of th e tire. This specifies th e load-
bearing capacity of th e tire more precisel y.
Curb we ight: th e we ight of a ve hicle with st and‐
ard equipment including th e maximum capacity
of fuel, oil and coolant. It also includes th e air
conditioning sy st em and optional equipment if Wheels and tires 431
