The tires that came on your vehicle
have a number of markings. Those
you should be aware of are described
below.
Tire SizeWhenever tires are replaced, they
should be replaced with tires of the
same size. Following is an example
of tire size with an explanation of
what each component means.
P255/50R19 103H
P－Vehicle type (P indicates
passenger vehicle).
255－Tire width in millimeters.
50－Aspect ratio (the tire's
section height as a
percentage of its width).
R－Tire construction code (R
indicates radial).
19－Rim diameter in inches.103－Load index (a numerical code
associated with the
maximum load the tire can
carry).
H－Speed symbol (an
alphabetical code indicating
the maximum speed rating).
Tire Identification Number (TIN)The tire identification number (TIN)
is a group of numbers and letters that
look like the following example. TIN
is located on the sidewall of the tire.
DOT B97R FW6X 2202
DOT－This indicates that the tire
meets all requirements of
the U.S. Department of
Transportation.
B97R－Manufacturer's
identification mark.

FW6X－Tire type code.Glossary of Tire Terminology
Cold Tire Pressure－The tire air
pressure when the vehicle has been
parked for at least three hours or
driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km).
Load Rating－Means the maximum
load that a tire is rated to carry for a
given inflation pressure.
Maximum Inflation Pressure－The
maximum tire air pressure that the
tire can hold.
Maximum Load Rating－Means the
load rating for a tire at the maximum
permissible inflation pressure for that
tire.
Recommended Inflation Pressure－
The cold tire inflation pressure
recommended by the manufacturer.
Treadwear Indicators (TWI)－
Means the projections within the
principal grooves designed to give a
visual indication of the degrees of
wear of the tread.2202－

Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should determine
the proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.)As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale
when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure.Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire
pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined
with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly.Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function
properly.Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)－Required Federal Explanation58612/07/17 18:10:57 13 ACURA MDX MMC North America Owner's M 50 31STX660 enu
