Federal law mandates that tire manufacturers place standardized informat\
ion on the sidewall of all tires
(see the illustration).
The following information is listed on the tire sidewall:
The tire designation (the following figures are examples of a tire desi\
gnation):
1. 215: the width of the tire (in millimeters) from sidewall edge to sidewal\
l edge. The larger the number,
the wider the tire.
2. 65: The ratio of the tire's height to its width.
3. R: Radial tire.
4. 15: The diameter of the wheel rim (in inches).
5. 95: The tire's load index. In this example, a load index of 95 equals a ma\
ximum load of 1521 lbs (690
kg).
6. H: The tire's speed rating, or the maximum speed at which the tire is des\
igned to be driven for extended
periods of time, carrying a permissible load for the vehicle, and with c\
orrect inflation pressure. For
example, H indicates a speed rating of 130 mph (210 km/h).
NOTE
This information may not appear on the tire because it is not required b\
y
law.
7. M+S or M/S = Mud and Snow, AT = All Terrain, AS = All Season
8. U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN): This begins with the letters "DOT" and indicates that
the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters ar\
e the plant code where it was
manufactured, the next two are the tire size code and the last four numb\
ers represent the week and year
the tire was built. For example, the numbers 317 mean the 31st week of 1\
997. After 2000 the numbers go
to four digits. For example, 2501 means the 25th week of 2001. The numbe\
rs in between are marketing
codes used at the manufacturer's discretion. This information helps a ti\
re manufacturer identify a tire for
safety recall purposes.
9. Tire Ply Composition and Material Used: Indicates the number of plies indicates or the number of
layers of rubber-coated fabric in the tire tread and sidewall. Tire manu\
facturers also must indicate the ply
materials in the tire and the sidewall, which include steel, nylon, poly\
ester, and others.

cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
WARNING
l Exceeding the permissible axle weight, gross vehicle weight, or any othe\
r weight rating limits can
cause tire overheating resulting in permanent deformation or catastrophi\
c failure.
l Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than th\
e tires that were original
equipment on the vehicle because this will lower the vehicle's GVW ratin\
g. Replacement tires with a
higher limit than the originals do not increase the vehicle's GVW rating\
limitations.

Uniform tire quality gradings
Uniform tire quality gradings
ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST CONFORM TO FEDERAL SAFETY
REQUIREMENTS IN ADDITION TO THESE GRADES
Quality grades can be found, where applicable, on the tire sidewall betw\
een the tread shoulder and
maximum section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA
Temperature A
TREADWEAR
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of th\
e tire when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one half (1 1/2) tim\
es as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of \
their use, however, and many
depart significantly from the norm due to variation in driving habits, m\
aintenance practices and
differences in road characteristics and climate.
TRACTION
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, as mea\
sured under controlled conditions
on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire ma\
rked C may have poor traction
performance.
