Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
P215/65R15 95H is an example of a tire size and load index rati ng.
Here is an explanation of the various components of that tire s ize and
load index rating. Note that the tire size and load index ratin g may be
different from the example.
● P
Indicates a tire that may be installed on cars, SUVs, minivans and
light trucks as desig nated by the Tire and R im Association (T&RA).
If your tire size does not begin with a letter this may mean it is desig-
nated by either ETRTO (European Tire and Rim Technical Organiza -
tion) or JATMA (Japan Tire Manufacturing Association).
● 215
“215” is the nominal width of th e tire in millimeters. This three-digit
number gives the width in millimet ers of the tire from sidewall edge
to sidewall edge. In general, the larger the number, the wider the
tire.
● 65
“65” is the aspect ratio. This two-digit number indicates the t ire’s
ratio of height to width.
● R
“R” is the tire construction sym bol. R indicates “Radial ply construc-
tion”.
● 15
“15” is the wheel rim diameter in inches.
● 95
“95” is the Load Index. This two-or three-digit number indicate s how
much weight each tire can support.
● H
“H” is the speed rating. The speed rating denotes the maximum
speed for which the use of the tire is rated.

■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 amoun t of air pressure that should ever
be put in the tire under normal driving conditions.
■Tread Wear, Traction and Temperature Grades
●Tread wear: The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based
on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled condi -
tions 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 we t
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 res istance to the generation of heat and
its ability to dissipate heat w hen tested under controlled cond i-
tions 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 shoul d only
be used in pairs or placed on all four wheels. Make sure you pu r-
chase snow tires that are the sa me size and construction type as
the other tires on your vehicle.
■SAFETY WARNING
The following safety warning appears on the tire’s sidewall. SE RI-
OUS 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 UNDE R-INFLATION/OVERLOADING/
DAMAGE-FOLLOW OWNER’S MANUAL AND PLACARD IN
VEHICLE-FREQUENTLY CHECK INFLATION PRESSURE AND
INSPECT FOR DAMAGE.

7-7. Tire Information (U.S.A.)
Location of the Tire Label (Placard)
You will find the tire label containing tire inflation pressure by tire size
and other important i nformation on the driver’s side B-pillar o r on the
edge of the driver’s door frame.
SAMPLE
On the tire label you will find t he recommended tire inflation pressure
in both kPa and psi for the tire s installed as original equipment on the
vehicle. It is very important that the inflation pressure of th e tires on
your vehicle is maintained at t he recommended pressure. You sho uld
check the tire pressure regularly to insure that the proper inf lation
pressure is maintained. Refer to Tires on P. 553.
Tire pressures listed on the vehicle placard or tire informatio n label indi-
cate the recommended cold tire inflation pressure, measured whe n the
tires are cold, after the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours. As
you drive, the temperature in the tire warms up, increasing the tire pres-
sure.

7-7. Tire Information (U.S.A.)
●Tire Placard: A label indicating the OE tire sizes, recommended
inflation pressure, and the maxi mum weight the vehicle can carry.
● Tire Identification Number (TIN): A number on the sidewall of e ach
tire providing information about the tire brand and manufacturi ng
plant, tire size, and date of manufacture.
● Inflation Pressure: A measure of the amount of air in a tire.
● kPa: Kilopascal, the metri c unit for air pressure.
● psi: Pounds per square inch, the English unit for air pressure.
● B-pillar: The structural member at the si de of the vehicle behind the

7-7. Tire Information (U.S.A.)
GCWR (Gross Combination Weight Rating) is the maximum allowable
weight of the vehicle - including all cargo and passengers - that the
vehicle can handle without risk ing damage. The GCW must never
exceed the GCWR.
WARNING
■Do not tow a trailer with this vehicle
Towing a trailer with this vehicle is dangerous because it has not been
designed to tow a trailer and do ing so will affect the drive system which
could result in vehicle damage.
■Overloaded Vehicle
Overloading a vehicle is dangerous. The results of overloading can
have serious consequences in terms of passenger safety. Too muc h
weight on a vehicle’s suspensi on system can cause spring or sho ck
absorber failure, brake failure, handling or steering problems, irregular
tire wear, tire failu re or other damage.
Overloading makes a vehicle harder to drive and control. It als o
increases the distance required for stopping. In cases of serio us over-
loading, brakes can fail completely, particularly on steep grad es. The
load a tire will carry safely is a combination of the size of t he tire, its load
range, and corresponding inflation pressure.
Never overload the vehicle and always observe the vehicle’s wei ght rat-
ings from the vehicle’s Safety C ertification and Tire and Load Informa-
tion labels.
■Never Exceed Axle Weight Rating Limits
Exceeding the Safety Certification Label axle weight rating lim its is dan-
gerous and could result in death or serious injury as a result of substan-
dard vehicle handling, performance, engine, transmission and/or
structural damage, serious damage to the vehicle, or loss of control.
Always keep the vehicle within the axle weight rating limits.
■Never Exceed GVWR or GAWR Specifications
Exceeding the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification l abel is
dangerous. Exceeding any vehicle rating limitation could result in a seri-
ous accident, injury, or damage to the vehicle.
Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than
the originals because they may lower the vehicle’s GVWR and GAW R
limitations. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the ori ginals do
not increase the GVWR and GAWR limitations. Never exceed the
GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification label.
