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”.
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.T
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.
V
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 215 / 60 R 16(1) (2) (3) (4) (5)P 215 / 60 R 16 94 H
