The data shown in the illustration is example
data.
The Tire and Loading In form ation placard sho ws:
R Maximum number of seats 2according to
th e maximum number of people permitted to
tr ave l in theve hicle.
R Maximum permissible load 3comprises the
gross weight of all vehicle occupants, load
and luggage. R
Recommended tire pressures 1for cold
tires. The recommended tire pressures are
va lid forth e maximum permissible load and
up tothe maximum permissible vehicle
speed.

sure table (→ page379).

term ining the maximum permissible load The
following steps ha vebeen de veloped as
re qu ired of all manufacturers under Title 49,
Code of U.S. Federal Regulations, Part57 5, pur‐
suant tothe "National Traf fic and Mo torVe hicle
Saf etyAc t of 1966". #
Ste p 1: locatethest atement "The combined
we ight of occupants and load should ne ver
exc eed XXX kgor XXX lbs." ("The combined
we ight of occupants and load should ne ver
exc eed XXX kgor XXX lbs.") on your vehicle's
Ti re and Loading In form ation placard. #
Ste p 2: determ ine the combined weight of
th e driver and passengers that will be tra vel‐
ing in your vehicle. #
Ste p 3: subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from XXX kgor
XXX lbs. #
Ste p 4: there sulting figure equals the per‐
missible cargo and luggage load capacity. For
ex ample: If "XXX" equals 1400 lbs and there
are five occupants in your vehicle with a
we ight of 150 lbs each, the maximum cargo
and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs (1400 -
75 0 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs). #
Ste p 5: determ ine the combined weight of
luggage and load that theve hicle will be car‐
ry ing. For saf etyre asons, this we ight may not
safely exceed theav ailable cargo and lug‐
ga ge load capacity calculated in step 4. Wheels and tires

th
ese are ins talled on theve hicle, but does not
include passengers or luggage.
Maximum tire load: the maximum tire load is
th e maximum permissible weight in kilog rams or
lbs for which a tire is appr oved.
Maximum permissible tire pressure: maxi‐
mum permissible tire pressure for one tire.
Maximum load on one tire: maximum load on
one tire. This is calculated bydividing the maxi‐
mum axle load of one axle bytwo.
PSI (pounds per square in ch):standard unit of
measurement for tire pressu re.
Aspect ratio: ratio between tire height and tire
width in pe rcent.
Ti re pressure: pressure inside the tire applying
an outward forc eto eve rysquare inch of the tire.
The tire pressure is specified in pounds per
square inch (psi), in kilopascals (kPa) or in bar.
The tire pressure should only be cor rected when
th e tires are cold.
Cold tire pressure: the tires are cold when the
ve hicle has been par kedfo r at least 3 hours without direct sunlight on
the tires or theve hicle
has been driven for less than 1 mile (1.6 km).
Ti re contact sur face: the part of the tire that
comes into con tact wi th thero ad.
Ti re bead: the purpose of the tire bead is to
ensure that the tire sits securely on the wheel
ri m. There are se veral wire cores in the tire bead
to preve ntthe tire from changing length on the
wheel rim.
Side wall:the part of the tire between the tread
and the tire bead.
We ight of optional equipment: the combined
we ight of the optional equipment weighing more
th an there placed standard parts and more than
5 lbs (2.3 kg).This optional equipment, such as
high-per form ance brakes, le vel control sy stem, a
ro of luggage rack or high-per form ance bat teries,
is not included in the curb weight and thewe ight
of the accessories.
TIN (Tire Identification Number): a unique
identification number which can be used by a
tire manufactu rerto identify tires, forex ample,
in a product recall, and thus identify the pur‐
ch asers. The TIN is made up of the manufactur‐ er's identity code, tire size, tire type code and
th e manufacturing date.
Load-bearing index: the load-bearing index is a
code that con tains the maximum load-bearing
capacity of a tire.
Tr action: traction is the grip resulting from fric‐
tion between the tires and thero ad sur face.
We ar indicator: narrow bars (tread wear bars)
th at are distributed overth e tire conta ct surface.
If th e tire tread is le vel with the bars, thewe ar
limit of 1/ 16in (1.6 mm) has been reached.
Distribution of vehicle occupants: distribution
of vehicle occupants over designated seat posi‐
tions in a vehicle.
Maximum permissible pa yload weight: nomi‐
nal load and luggage load plus 150 lb (68 kg)
multiplied bythe number of seats in theve hicle. Wheels and tires
