Maximum inflation pressure
The maximum cold inflation pressure
to which a tire may be inflated.Recommended inflation pres-
sure
The cold inflation pressure recom-
mended by a vehicle manufacturer.Intended outboard sidewall
1)The sidewall that contains a
whitewall, bears white lettering or
bears manufacturer, brand, and/or
model name molding that is higher
or deeper than the same molding
on the other sidewall of the tire, or
2)The outward facing sidewall of an
asymmetrical tire that has a particu-
lar side that must always face out-
ward when mounting on a vehicle.Accessory weight
The combined weight (in excess of
those standard items which may be
replaced) of floor mats, leather seats
and cross bars to the extent that these
items are available as factory-in-
stalled equipment (whether installed
or not). Curb weight
The weight of a motor vehicle with
standard equipment including themaximum capacity of fuel, oil, and
coolant and air conditioning.
Maximum loaded vehicle weight
The sum of curb weight, accessory
weight, vehicle capacity weight and
production options weight.Normal occupant weight
150 lbs (68 kg) times the number of
occupants (3 occupants). Occupant distribution
Distribution of occupants in a vehicle,
2 in front, 1 in rear seat.Production options weight
The combined weight of those in-
stalled regular production options
weighing over 5.1 lbs (2.3 kg) in ex-
cess of those standards items which
they replace, not previously consid-
ered in curb weight or accessory
weight.Vehicle capacity weight
The total weight of cargo, luggage
and occupants that can be added to
the vehicle. Vehicle maximum load on a tire
Load on an individual tire that is deter-
mined by distributing to each axle its
share of the maximum loaded vehicle
weight and dividing by two.
Vehicle normal load on a tire
Load on an individual tire that is deter-
mined by distributing to each axle its
share of the curb weight, accessory
weight, and normal occupant weight
and dividing by two.Tire care – maintenance and
safety practicesCheck on a daily basis that the tires
are free from serious damage, nails,
and stones. At the same time, check
the tires for abnormal wear. Inspect the tire tread regularly and
replace the tires before their tread
wear indicators become visible. When
a tire’s tread wear indicator becomes
visible, the tire is worn beyond the ac-
ceptable limit and must be replaced
immediately. With a tire in this condi-
tion, driving at even low speeds in wet
weather can cause the vehicle to hy-
droplane. Possible resulting loss of
vehicle control can lead to an acci-
dent.To maximize the life of each tire and
ensure that the tires wear uniformly, it
is best to rotate the tires every 7,500
miles (12,500 km). Rotating the tires
