Tire Terminology And Definitions
TermDefinition
B-Pillar The vehicle B-Pillar is the structural member of
the body located behind the front door.
Cold Tire Inflation Pressure Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as the tire
pressure after the vehicle has not been driven
for at least three hours, or driven less than 1
mile (1.6 km) after sitting for a minimum of three
hours. Inflation pressure is measured in units of
PSI (pounds per square inch) or kPa
(kilopascals).
Maximum Inflation Pressure The maximum inflation pressure is the
maximum permissible cold tire inflation pressure
for this tire. The maximum inflation pressure is
molded into the sidewall.
Recommended Cold Tire Inflation Pressure Vehicle manufacturer’s recommended cold tire
inflation pressure as shown on the tire placard.
Tire Placard A label permanently attached to the vehicle
describing the vehicle’s loading capacity, the
original equipment tire sizes and the
recommended cold tire inflation pressures. TIRES

ü Locate
the
statement
“The

weight
of
occupants
and

should
never
exceed

û
X
ü Determine
the
combined
weight
of
the
driver
and
passengers
that
will
be
riding
in
your

ü Subtract
the

û
Z
ü The
resulting
figure

(1400-750
(5x150)

û
[
ü Determine

capacity
of
your

WARNING!
Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase
your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.

Tires — General Information
Tire Pressure
Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to the safe and satisfactory
operation of your vehicle. Four primary areas are affected by improper
tire pressure:
•Safety and Vehicle Stability
• Economy
• Tread Wear
• Ride Comfort
Safety
WARNING!
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions.
• Underinflation
increases
tire
flexing
and
can
result
in
overheating
and
tire
failure.
• Overinflation
reduces
a
tire’s
ability
to
cushion
shock.
Objects
on
the
road
and
chuckholes
can
cause
damage
that
result
in
tire
failure.
• Overinflated or underinflated tires can affect vehicle handling and
can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
• Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose
control of your vehicle.
• Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle to the other can
cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left.
• Always drive with each tire inflated to the recommended cold tire
inflation pressure.
Both
underinflation
and
overinflation
affect
the
stability
of
the
vehicle

and
can
produce
a
feeling
of
sluggish

response
or
over
responsiveness
in

the
steering.
NOTE:
• Unequal tire pressures from side to side may cause erratic and
unpredictable steering response.
• Unequal tire pressure from side to side may cause the vehicle to drift
left or right.
