Maximum  (permissible)  inflation  pressure means  the  maximum  cold  inflation  pressure  to 
which  a tire  may  be  inflated.  Also called  "max imum  inflation  pressure." 
Normal  occupant  weight 
means 
150 lbs. (68 kilograms)  times  the  number 
of occupants  seated  in the vehicle  up  to the  total  seating  capacity  of your  vehicle. 
Outer  diameter 
means  the  overall  diameter  of an  inflated  new 
tire. 
Overall  width  means  the  linear  distance  between  the  exteriors 
of the  sidewalls  of an  inflated  tire,  including  ele
vations  due  to labeling,  decorations,  or  protec tive bands  or ribs. 
Ply 
means  a layer  of rubber-coated  parallel  cords. 
Radial  ply tire 
means  a pneumatic  tire in which  the  ply cords 
that  extend  to the  beads  are  laid  at substantially 
90 degrees  to the  centerline  of the  tread. 
Recommended  inflation  pressure 
see 
52, "Cold  tire  inflation  pressure". 
Rim 
means  a metal  support  for a  tire  or  a tire and 
tube  assembly  upon  which  the  tire  beads  are 
seated. 
Rim diameter 
means  nominal  diameter  of the  bead  seat . If you 
change  your  wheel  size, you  will have  to pur
chase  new  tires  to match  the  new  rim  diameter. 
Rim size  designation

Rim width 
means  nominal  distance  between  rim  flanges. 
Sidewall

Speed  rating  (letter  code)  means  the  speed  at which  a tire is designed  to be 
driven  for extended  periods  of time.  The  ratings  range  from  93 mph  (150 km/h)  to 186 mph 
(298 km/h).  These  ratings  are  listed  in the  table 
below 62. You may  not  find  this  informa
tion  on  all tires  because  it is not  required  by law. 
The  speed  rating  letter  code,  where  applicable,  is molded  on  the  tire  sidewall  and  indicates  the 
maximum  permissible  road  speeds. 
Tire pressure  monitoring  system
1 ) 
means  a system  that  detects  when  one  or  more 
of a vehicle's  tires  are  underinflated  and  illumi nates  a low tire  pressure  warning  telltale. 
Tread  means  that  portion  of a tire that  comes  into  con
tact  with  the  road. 
Tread  separation  means  pulling  away  of the  tread  from  the  tire 
carcass. 
Tread  wear  indicators  (TWI)  means  the  projections  within  the  principal

the  degrees  of wear  of the  tread.  See 
59, "Tread  Wear Indicator (TWI)" for more  informa
tion  on  measuring  tire  wear. 
Uniform Tire Quality  Grading 
is a tire  information  system  developed  by the  United  States  National  Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration  (NHTSA) that  is designed  to help  buyers  make  relative  comparisons  among  tires. 
The  UTQG is not  a safety  rating  and  not  a guar antee  that  a tire 
will last for a prescribed  number 
of miles  or  perform  in a certain  way. It simply 
gives tire  buyers  additional  information  to com bine  with  other  considerations,  such  as  price, 
brand  loyalty  and  dealer  recommendations . 
Under  UTQG, tires  are  graded  by the  tire  manu
facturers  in three  areas:  tread  wear,  traction  and  temperature  resistance.  The  UTQG information

U.S. DOT Tire Identification  Number  (TIN)
