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.)
●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
front door.
● Original Equipment (OE): Des cribes components originally
equipped on the vehicle.
