qu ality grade of a tire is imprinted on the side
wa ll of the tire.
Re commended tire pressu re:there commen‐
ded tire pressure is the tire pressure specified
fo rth e tires mounted totheve hicle at thefa c‐
to ry.
The tire and information table con tains there c‐
ommended tire pressures for cold tires, the max‐
imum permissible load and the maximum per‐
missible vehicle speed.
The tire pressure table con tains there commen‐
ded tire pressures for cold tires under various
