17: rim diameter in inches
84: load rating, not for ZR tires
V: speed rating, before the R on ZR tires
Speed letter T = up to 118 mph, 190 km/h

V = up to 150 mph, 240 km/h
W = up to 167 mph, 270 km/h

Tire Identification NumberDOT code: DOT xxxx xxx 4413
xxxx: manufacturer code for the tire brand
xxx: tire size and tire design
4413: tire age
Tires with DOT codes meet the guidelines of
the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Tire age DOT … 4413: the tire was manufactured in the
44th week of 2013.
Recommendation Regardless of wear, replace tires at least every
6 years.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where applicable
on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder
and maximum section width.
For example: Treadwear 200; Traction AA;
Temperature A
DOT Quality Grades
Treadwear
Traction AA A B C
Temperature A B C
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal
Safety Requirements in addition to these
grades.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified gov‐
ernment test course. For example, a tire graded
150 would wear one and one-half, 1 g, times as
well on the government course as a tire gradedSeite 169Wheels and tiresMobility169
