* For tires with a maximum speed capability over
149 mph, tire manufacturers sometimes use the
letters ZR. For tires with a maximum speed
capability over 186 mph, tire manufacturers
always use the letters ZR.
M+S or M/S: Mud and Snow
AT: All Terrain.
AS: All Season. The “M+S” or “M/S”
indicates that the tire has some
functional use in mud and snow.
U.S. DOT Tire Identiﬁcation Number
(TIN)
This begins with the letters “DOT”
which indicates the tire meets all
federal standards. The next two
numbers or letters are the plant code
where it was manufactured, and the
last four numbers represent the week
and year the tire was manufactured.
For example, the numbers 457 means
the 45st week of 1997. After 2000 the
numbers go to four digits. For
example, the number 2102 means the
21th week of 2002. The other
numbers are marketing codes used at
the manufacturer's discretion. This
information is used to contact
consumers if a tire defect requires a
recall.
Tire Ply Composition and Materials
Used
The number of plies indicates the
number of layers of rubber-coated
fabric in the tire. In general, the greater
the number of plies, the more weight a
tire can support. Tire manufacturers
also must indicate the tire materials,
which include steel, nylon, polyester,
and other.
Maximum Load Rating
This number indicates the maximum
load in kilograms and pounds that can
be carried by the tire.
Maximum Permissible Inﬂation
Pressure
This number is the greatest amount of
air pressure that should ever be put in
the tire under normal driving
conditions.
Tread Wear, Traction and Temperature
Grades
Trea d wea r : The tread wear grade is a
comparative rating based on the wear
rate of the tire when tested 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.
Temperature: 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 used 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.

T115/70D16 90M 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.
T
Indicates a tire that may be installed on
cars, SUVs, minivans and light trucks as
designated by the Tire and Rim
Association (T&RA).
115
“115” is the nominal width 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.

WARNING
Always check the tire inﬂation
pressures on a regular basis according
to the recommended tire inﬂation
pressure on the tire label and in
conjunction with the information in
this owner's manual:
Driving your vehicle with
under-inﬂated tires is dangerous.
Under-inﬂation is the most common
cause of failures in any kind of tire and
may result in severe cracking, tread
separation or “blowout”, with
unexpected loss of vehicle control and
increased risk of injury. Under-inﬂation
increases sidewall ﬂexing and rolling
resistance, resulting in heat buildup
and internal damage to the tire. It
results in unnecessary tire stress,
irregular wear, loss of control and
accidents. A tire can lose up to half of
its air pressure and not appear to be
ﬂat!
It is impossible to determine whether
or not tires are properly inﬂated just by
looking at them.
▼ Checking Tire Pressure
1. When you check the air pressure,
make sure the tires are cold
―meaning they are not hot from
driving even a mile.
2. Remove the cap from the valve on
one tire.
3. Firmly press a tire gauge onto the
valve.
4. Add air to achieve recommended air pressure.
5. If you overﬁll the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the
center of the valve. Then recheck
the pressure with your tire gauge.
6. Replace the valve cap.
7. Repeat with each tire, including the spare.
NOTE
Some spare tires require higher
inﬂation pressure.
8. Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or other
objects embedded that could poke
a hole in the tire and cause an air
leak.
9. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts, bulges,
cracks or other irregularities.

Improper wheel alignmentOut-of-balance wheelSevere braking
After rotation, inﬂate all tire pressures
to speciﬁcation (page 9-7) and
inspect the lug nuts for tightness.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial
tires that have an asymmetrical tread
pattern or studs only from front to rear,
not from side to side. Tire performance
will be weakened if rotated from side
to side.
▼ Replacing a Tire
WARNING
Always use tires that are in good
condition:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking , steering , and
traction could result in an accident.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator
will appear as a solid band across the
tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.
1. New tread
2. Worn tread
3. Tread wear indicator

You should replace the tire before the
band crosses the entire tread.
NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used on the road. It
is recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or
older. Heat caused by hot climates or
frequent high load
ing conditions can
accelerate the aging process. You
should replace the spare tire when you
replace the other road tires due to the
aging of the spare tire. The period in
which the tire was manufactured (both
week and year) is indicated by a 4-digit
number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-22.
▼ Safety Practices
The way you drive has a great deal to
do with your tire mileage and safety.
So cultivate good driving habits for
your own beneﬁt.
Observe posted speed limits and
drive at speeds that are safe for the
existing weather conditions
Avoid fast starts, stops and turnsAvoid potholes and objects on the
road
Do not run over curbs or hit the tire
against the curb when parking
CAUTION
If you feel a sudden vibration or ride
disturbance while driving or you
suspect your tire or vehicle has been
damaged, immediately reduce your
speed. Drive with caution until you can
safely pull off the road. Stop and
inspect the tire for damage. If the tire
is under-inﬂated or damaged, deﬂate
it, remove the tire and rim and replace
it with your spare tire. If you cannot
detect a cause, have the vehicle towed
to the nearest vehicle or tire dealer to
have the vehicle inspected.
