Aspect
ratio: relationship between tire height
and tire width in percent.
Ti re pressure: pressure inside the tire applying
an outward forc eto eve rysquare inch of the
tire's su rface. The tire pressure is specified in
pounds per square inch (psi), in kilopascal (kPa)
or in bar. The tire pressure should only be cor rec‐
te d when the tires are cold.
Ti re pressure on cold tires: the tires are cold
when theve hicle has been par ked with the tires
out of direct sunlight for at least thre e hours and
th eve hicle has been driven 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.
Special equipment weight: the combined

are not included in the curb weight and the
we ight of the accessories.
TIN (Tire Identification Number): a unique iden‐
tification number which can be used bya tire
manufacturer toidentify tires, forex ample for a
product recall, and thus identify the pur chasers.
The TIN is made up of the manufacturer identifi‐
cation code, tire size, tire type code and the man‐
ufacturing date.
Load-bearing index: the load-bearing index (also
load index) is a code that con tains the maximum
load-bearing capacity of a tire.
Tr action: traction is there sult of friction between
th e tires and thero ad sur face.
We ar indicator: narrow bars (tread wear bars)
th at are distributed overth e tire tread. If the tire
tread is le vel with the bars, thewe ar limit of
1/ 16 in (1.6 mm) has been reached.
Distribution of vehicle occupants: distribution
of vehicle occupants over designated seat posi‐
