Glossary of Tire Terminology
Tire label: A label showing theOE (Original Equipment) tire sizes,recommended inflation pressureand the maximum weight thevehicle can carry.
Tire Identification Number(TIN): A number on the sidewallof each tire providing informationabout the tire brand andmanufacturing plant, tire size anddate of manufacture. Also referredto as DOT code.
Inflation pressure: A measureof the amount of air in a tire.
Standard load: A class ofP-metric or Metric tires designedto carry a maximum load at 35 psi(2.41 bar)[36 psi (2.5 bar) forMetric tires]. Increasing theinflation pressure beyond thispressure will not increase the tire’s
load carrying capability.
Extra load: A class of P-metric orMetric tires designed to carry aheavier maximum load at 42 psi(2.9 bar). Increasing the inflationpressure beyond this pressure willnot increase the tire’s loadcarrying capability.
kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit ofair pressure.
PSI: Pounds per square inch, astandard unit of air pressure.
Cold tire pressure: The tirepressure when the vehicle hasbeen stationary and out of directsunlight for an hour or more andprior to the vehicle being driven for1 mi (1.6 km).
Recommended inflationpressure: The cold inflationpressure found on the SafetyCompliance Certification Label(affixed to either the door hingepillar, door-latch post, or the dooredge that meets the door-latchpost, next to the driver's seatingposition) or Tire Label located onthe B-Pillar or the edge of thedriver’s door.

G.H: Indicates the tire's speedrating. The speed rating denotesthe speed at which a tire isdesigned to be driven for extendedperiods of time under a standardcondition of load and inflationpressure. The tires on your vehiclemay operate at differentconditions for load and inflationpressure. These speed ratings mayneed to be adjusted for thedifference in conditions. Theratings range from 81 mph(130 km/h) to 186 mph
(299 km/h). These ratings arelisted in the following chart.
