INFORMATION SUPPLEMENT

TIRES
Tire Safety Information
Tire safety information will cover aspects of the following information:
Tire Markings, Tire Identification Numbers, Tire Terminology and Defi-
nitions, Tire Pressures, and Tire Loading.
Tire Markings
NOTE:
•P (Passenger) — Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards.
P-Metric tires have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding
the size designation. Example: P215/65R15 95H.
• European — Metric tire sizing is based on European design standards.
Tires designed to this standard have the tire size molded into the
sidewall beginning with the section width. The letter Pis absent from
this tire size designation. Example: 215/65R15 96H.
Tire Markings
1 — U.S. DOT Safety Standards
Code (TIN) 4 — Maximum Load
2 — Size Designation 5 — Maximum Pressure
3 — Service Description 6 — Treadwear, Traction and Temperature Grades

•LT (Light Truck) — Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards.
The size designation for LT-Metric tires is the same as for P-Metric tires
except for the letters “LT” that are molded into the sidewall preceding
the size designation. Example: LT235/85R16.
• Temporary spare tires are designed for temporary emergency use only.
Temporary high pressure compact spare tires have the letter “T” or “S”
molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Example:
T145/80D18 103M.
• High flotation tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards and it
begins with the tire diameter molded into the sidewall. Example:
31x10.5 R15 LT.
Tire Sizing Chart
EXAMPLE:
Example Size Designation: P215/65R15XL 95H, 215/65R15 96H, LT235/85R16C,
T145/80D18 103M, 31x10.5 R15 LT
P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standards, or
....blank.... = Passenger car tire based on European design standards, or
LT = Light truck tire based on U.S. design standards, or
TorS= Temporary spare tire or
31 = Overall diameter in inches (in)
215, 235, 145 = Section width in millimeters (mm)
65, 85, 80 = Aspect ratio in percent (%)
– Ratio of section height to section width of tire, or
10.5 = Section width in inches (in)
R = Construction code
– "R" means radial construction, or
– "D" means diagonal or bias construction
15, 16, 18 = Rim diameter in inches (in)
Service Description:
95 = Load Index
– A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry
H = Speed Symbol
– A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can carry a load corresponding to its load index under certain operating conditions
– The maximum speed corresponding to the speed symbol should only be achieved under specified operating conditions (i.e., tire pressure, vehicle
loading, road conditions, and posted speed limits) TIRES

EXAMPLE:
Load Identification:
Absence of the following load identification symbols on the sidewall of the tire
indicates a Standard Load (SL) tire:
• XL
= Extra load (or reinforced) tire, or
• LL = Light load tire or
• C, D, E, F, G = Load range associated with the maximum load a tire can carry
at a specified pressure
Maximum Load – Maximum load indicates the maximum load this tire is designed
to carry
Maximum Pressure – Maximum pressure indicates the maximum permissible cold
tire inflation pressure for this tire
Tire Identification Number (TIN)
The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire; however, the date
code may only be on one side. Tires with white sidewalls will have the
full TIN, including the date code, located on the white sidewall side of
the tire. Look for the TIN on the outboard side of black sidewall tires as
mounted on the vehicle. If the TIN is not found on the outboard side, then
you will find it on the inboard side of the tire.
EXAMPLE:
DOT MA L9 ABCD 0301
DOT = Department of Transportation
– This symbol certifies that the tire is in compliance with the U.S. Department of Transportation tire safety standards and is approved for highway use
MA = Code representing the tire manufacturing location (two digits)
L9 = Code representing the tire size (two digits)
ABCD = Code used by the tire manufacturer (one to four digits)
03 = Number representing the week in which the tire was manufactured (two digits)
– 03 means the 3rd week
01 = Number representing the year in which the tire was manufactured (two digits)
– 01 means the year 2001
– Prior to July 2000, tire manufacturers were only required to have one number to represent the year in which the tire was manufactured. Example: 031 could
represent the 3rd week of 1981 or 1991

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

Tire Loading And Tire Pressure
NOTE:The proper cold tire inflation pressure is listed on the driver ’s
side B-Pillar or the rear edge of the driver’s side door.
Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire (if
equipped), at least monthly and inflate to the recommended pressure for
your vehicle.

Tire And Loading Information Placard
This placard tells you important information about the:
1. Number of people that can be carried in the vehicle.
2. Total weight your vehicle can carry.
3. Tire size designed for your vehicle.
4. Cold tire inflation pressures for the front, rear, and spare tires.
Loading
The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying
capacity of the tire on your vehicle. You will not exceed the tire’s load
carrying capacity if you adhere to the loading conditions, tire size, and
cold tire inflation pressures specified on the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion placard in “Vehicle Loading” in the “Starting And Operating”
section of your Owner ’s Manual.
NOTE:Under a maximum loaded vehicle condition, gross axle weight
ratings (GAWRs) for the front and rear axles must not be exceeded.
For further information on GAWRs, vehicle loading, and trailer towing,
refer to “Vehicle Loading” in the “Starting And Operating” section of
your Owner ’s Manual.
To determine the maximum loading conditions of your vehicle, locate the
statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never
