Identification Number or TIN) are
placed on the sidewall of a tire by
tire manufacturers. These markings
can provide you with useful infor-
mation on the tire.!Tire sizeYour vehicle comes equipped with
P-Metric tire size. It is important to
understand the sizing system in
selecting the proper tire for your

the tire sizing system with a break-
down of its individual elements.

Width) helps provide more dimen-

size.
Example:(1) P = Certain tire type used on
light duty vehicles such as passen-
ger cars

(3) Aspect Ratio (= section height
7section width).
(4) R = Radial Construction
(5) Rim diameter in inches

tions will appear following the size

about the tire. First, the number
