Consumer information and Reporting safety defects
Consumer information and Reporting safety defects
For U.S.A.
The following information has been com-
piled according to Code of Federal Regu-
lations “Title 49, Part 575”. (For Canadian
resident’s information.)
Tire information
Tire labelingMany markings (e.g. Tire size, Tire
Identification Number or TIN) are
placed on the sidewall of a tire by tire
manufacturers. These marking can
provide you with useful information on
the tire.

Tire size
Your vehicle comes equipped with P-
Metric tire size. It is important to un-
derstand the sizing system in select-
ing the proper tire for your vehicles.
Here is a brief review of the tire sizing
system with a breakdown of its indi-
vidual elements.

P Metric
With the P-Metric system, Section
Width is measured in millimeters. To
convert millimeters into inches, divide
by 25.4. The Aspect Ratio (Section
Height divided by Section Width)
helps provide more dimensional infor-
mation about the tire size.Example:
(1) P = Certain tire type used on light
duty vehicles such as passenger cars
(2) Section Width in millimeters
(3) Aspect Ratio (= section height

section width).
(4) R = Radial Construction
(5) Rim diameter in inches

Load and Speed Rating Descrip-
tions
The load and speed rating descrip-
tions will appear following the size
designation.
They provide two important facts
about the tire. First, the number des-
ignation is its load index. Second, the
letter designation indicates the tire’s
speed rating.
Example:
(6) Load Index: A numerical codeP 205 / 55 R 16(1)
(2)(3) (4) (5)P 205 / 55 R 16 89 V

– CONTINUED –
which specifies the maximum load a
tire can carry at the speed indicated
by its speed symbol, at maximum in-
flation pressure.
For example, “91” means 1,356 lbs
(615 kg), “89” means 1,279 lbs (580
kg)(7) Speed Rating: An alphabetical
system describing a tire’s capability to
travel at established and predeter-
mined speeds.
For example, “V” means 149 mph
(240 km/h), “W” means 168 mph (270
km/h)


Tire Identification Number (TIN)
Tire Identification Number (TIN) is
marked on the intended outboard
sidewall. The TIN is composed of four
groups. Here is a brief review of the
TIN with a breakdown of its individual
elements.(1) Manufacturer’s Identification Mark
(2) Tire Size
(3) Tire Type Code
(4) Date of Manufacture
The first two figures identify the week,
starting with “01” to represent the first
full week of the calendar year; the
second two figures represent the
year. For example, 0101 means the
1st week of 2001.


Other markings
The following makings are also
placed on the sidewall.

Maximum permissible inflation
pressure
The maximum cold inflation pressure
to which this tire may be inflated. For
example, "300 kpa (44 PSI) MAX.
PRESS"

Maximum load rating
The load rating at the maximum per-
missible weight load for this tire. For
example, “MAX. LOAD 580 kg (1279
LBS) @ 300 kpa (44 PSI) MAX.
PRESS.” Load indices apply only to the
tire, not to the vehicle. Putting a
load rated tire on any vehicle
does not mean the vehicle can
be loaded up to the tire’s rated
load.

Speed ratings apply only to
the tire, not to the vehicle. Put-
ting a speed rated tire on any
vehicle does not mean the ve-
hicle can be operated at the
tire’s rated speed.
The speed rating is void if the
tires are worn out, damaged,
repaired, retreaded, or other-
wise altered from their original
condition. If tires are repaired,
retreaded, or otherwise al-
tered, they may not be suitable
for original equipment tire de-
signed loads and speeds.

Construction type
Applicable construction of this tire.
For example, “TUBELESS STEEL
BELTED RADIAL”

Construction
The generic name of each cord mate-
rial used in the plies (both sidewall
and tread area) of this tire.
For example, “PLIES: TREAD 2
STEEL + 2 POLYESTER SIDEWALL
2 POLYESTER”

Uniform Tire Quality Grading
(UTQG)
For details, refer to “Uniform tire qual-
ity grading standards” in this chapter.Maximum load rating applies
only to the tire, not to the vehi-
cle. Putting a load rated tire on
any vehicle does not mean the
vehicle can be loaded up to the
tire’s rated load.
