Cell Phones Warning
▼Cell Phones Warning
WA R N I N G
Please comply with the legal regulations
concerning the use of communication
equipment in vehicles in your country:
Use of any electrical devices such as cell
phones, computers, portable radios,
vehicle navigation or other devices by the
driver while the vehicle is moving is
dangerous. Dialing a number on a cell
phone while driving also ties-up the driver's
hands. Use of these devices will cause the
driver to be distracted and could lead to a
serious accident. If a passenger is unable to
use the device, pull off the right-of-way to a
safe area before use. If use of a cell phone is
necessary despite this warning, use a
hands-free system to at least leave the
hands free to drive the vehicle. Never use a
cell phone or other electrical devices while
the vehicle is moving and, instead,
concentrate on the full-time job of driving.

Tire Labeling
▼Tire Labeling
Federal law requires tire manufacturers to
place standardized information on the
sidewall of all tires.
This information
identifies and describes the fundamental
characteristics of the tire and also provides
a tire identification number for safety
standard certification and in case of a
recall.
▼ Information on Passenger Vehicle
Tires
Please refer to the sample below.
1. SAFETY WARNING
2. Passenger car tire
3. Nominal width of tire in millimeters
4. Ratio of height to width (aspect ratio)
5. Radial
6. Run-flat tire
7. Rim diameter code
8. TIN: U.S. DOT tire identification
number
9. Load index & speed symbol
10. Severe snow conditions
11. Tire ply composition and materials used
12. Max. load rating
13. Tread wear, traction and temperature grades
14. Max. permissible inflation pressure

P215/65R15 95H is an example of a tire
size and load index rating. Here is an
explanation of the various components of
that tire size and load index rating. Note
that the tire size and load index rating may
be different from the example.
P
Indicates a tire that may be installed on
cars, SUVs, minivans and light trucks as
designated by the Tire and Rim
Association (T&RA).
NOTE
If your tire size does not begin with a letter
this may mean it is designated by either
ETRTO (European Tire and Rim Technical
Organization) or JATMA (Japan Tire
Manufacturing Association).
215
“215” is the nominal w idth of the tire in
millimeters. This three-digit number gives
the width in millimeters of the tire from
sidewall edge to sidewall edge. In general,
the larger the number, the wider the tire.
65
“65” is the aspect r atio. This two-digit
number indicates the tire's ratio of height
to width.
R
“R” is the tire construction symbol. R
indicates “Radial ply construction”.
15
“15” is the wheel rim diameter in inches.

Tread Wear, Traction and Temperature
Grades
Tr e a d w e a r : The tread wear grade is a
comparative rating based on the wear rate
of the tire when test ed under controlled
conditions on a specified government test
course. For example, a tire graded 150
would wear one and one -half (1 1/2) times
as well on the government course as a tire
graded 100.
Traction: The traction grades, from
highest to lowest are AA, A, B, and C.
The grades represent the tire's ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete. A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.
Te m p e r a t u r e : The temperature grades are
A (the highest), B and C, representing the
tire's resistance to the generation of heat
and its ability to dissipate heat when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified
indoor laboratory test wheel.
Snow Tires
In some heavy snow areas, local
governments may require true snow tires,
those with very deeply cut tread. These
tires should only be us ed in pairs or placed
on all four wheels. Make sure you
purchase snow tires that are the same size
and construction type as the other tires on
your vehicle.
SAFETY WARNING
The following safety warning appears on
the tire's sidewall.
SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT
FROM:
EXPLOSION OF TIRE/RIM
ASSEMBLY DUE TO IMPROPER
MOUNTING-MATCH TIRE
DIAMETER TO RIM DIAMETER;
NEVER EXCEED 40 psi (275 kPa) TO
SEAT BEADS-ONLY SPECIALLY
TRAINED PERSONS SHOULD
MOUNT TIRES.
TIRE FAILURE DUE TO
