7109-1. Specifications
RX350/RX350L_U
Tire size ( P. 712)
DOT and Tire Identification Number (TIN) ( P. 711)
Location of treadwear indicators (P. 604)
Tire ply composition and materials
Plies are layers of rubber-c oated parallel cords. Cords are the strands which form the
plies in a tire.
Radial tires or bias-ply tires
A radial tire has “RADIAL” on the sidewall. A tire not marked “RADIAL” is a bias-ply
tire.
TUBELESS or TUBE TYPE
A tubeless tire does not have a tube and air is directly put into the tire. A tube type tire
has a tube inside the tire and the tube maintains the air pressure.
Load limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure ( P. 608)
Maximum cold tire inflation pressure ( P. 704)
This means the pressure to which a tire may be inflated.
Uniform tire quality grading
For details, see “Uniform Tire Quality Grading” that follows.
Summer tires or all season tires ( P. 608)
An all season tire has “M+S” on the side wall. A tire not marked “M+S” is a summer
tire.
“TEMPORARY USE ONLY”
A compact spare tire is identified by the phrase “TEMPORARY USE ONLY” molded
on its sidewall. This tire is designed for temporary emergency use only.
