Bias Ply Tire : A pneumatic tire in which
the plies are laid at alternate angles
less than 90 degrees to the centerline
of the tread.
Cold Tire Pressure
: The amount of air
pressure in a tire, measured in kPa
(kilopascal) or psi (pounds per square
inch) before a tire has built up heat
from driving. See Tire Pressure 0 274.
DOT Markings
: A code molded into the
sidewall of a tire signifying that the tire
is in compliance with the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT)
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. The
DOT code includes the Tire Identification
Number (TIN), an alphanumeric
designator which can also identify the
tire manufacturer, production plant,
brand, and date of production.
GVWR
: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
See Vehicle Load Limits 0 165.
GAWR FRT
: Gross Axle Weight Rating
for the front axle. See Vehicle Load
Limits 0 165.
GAWR RR
: Gross Axle Weight Rating
for the rear axle. See Vehicle Load
Limits 0 165.
Intended Outboard Sidewall
: The side
of an asymmetrical tire, that must
always face outward when mounted on
a vehicle.
Kilopascal (kPa)
: The metric unit for air
pressure.
Light Truck (LT-Metric) Tire
: A tire used
on light duty trucks and some
multipurpose passenger vehicles.
Load Index
: An assigned number
ranging from 1 to 279 that corresponds
to the load carrying capacity of a tire.
Maximum Inflation Pressure
: The
maximum air pressure to which a cold
tire can be inflated. The maximum air
pressure is molded onto the sidewall.
Maximum Load Rating
: The load rating
for a tire at the maximum permissible
inflation pressure for that tire.
Occupant Distribution
: Designated
seating positions.
Outward Facing Sidewall
: The side of
an asymmetrical tire that has a
particular side that faces outward when
mounted on a vehicle. The side of the
tire that contains a whitewall, bears
white lettering, or bears manufacturer,
brand, and/or model name molding
that is higher or deeper than the same
moldings on the other sidewall of
the tire.
Passenger (P-Metric) Tire
: A tire used
on passenger cars and some light duty
trucks and multipurpose vehicles.
Recommended Inflation Pressure
:
Vehicle manufacturer's recommended
tire inflation pressure as shown on the
tire placard. See Tire Pressure 0 274 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0 165.
Radial Ply Tire
: A pneumatic tire in
which the ply cords that extend to the
beads are laid at 90 degrees to the
centerline of the tread.
Rim
: A metal support for a tire and
upon which the tire beads are seated.
