Tire Labeling
▼Tire Labeling
Federal law requires tire manufacturers
to place standardized information on
the sidewall of all tires. This
information identifies and describes
the fundamental characteristics of the
tire and also provides a tire
identification
number for safety
standard certification and in case of a
recall.
▼ Information on Passenger Vehicle
Tires
Please refer to the sample below.
1. SAFETY WARNING
2. Passenger car tire
3. Nominal width of tire in millimeters
4. Ratio of height to width (aspect
rat io)
5. Radial
6. Run-flat tire
7. Rim diameter code
8. TIN: U.S. DOT tire
identification
number
9. Load index & speed symbol
10.Severe snow conditions
11.Tire ply composition and materials used
12.Max. load rating
13.Tread wear, traction and temperature grades
14.Max. permissible inflation pressure
P215/65R15 95H 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.
P
Indicates a tire that may be installed on
cars, SUVs, minivans and light trucks as
designated by the Tire and Rim
Association (T&RA).
NOTE
If your tire size does not begin with a
letter this may mean it is designated by
either ETRTO (European Tire and Rim
Technical Organization) or JATMA
(Japan Tire Manufacturing
Association).
215
“215” 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.
65
“65” is the aspect ratio. This two-digit
number indicates the tire's ratio of
height to width.
R
“R” is the tire construction symbol. R
indicates “Radial ply construction”.
15
“15” is the wheel rim diameter in
inches.

“16” is the wheel rim diameter in
inches.
90
“90” is the Load Index. This two-or
three-digit number indicates how

M
“M” is the speed rating. The speed
rating denotes the maximum speed for
which the use of the tire is rated.
