to support that load.
Compact Spare Tire Example

of cord and number of plies in
the sidewall and under the tread.
(B) Temporary Use Only
:
The compact spare tire or

(65 mph). The compac t spare

manufactured. The TIN is
molded onto both sides of the
tire, although only one side may
have the date of manufacture.
(D) Maximum Cold Inflation
Load Limit
: Maximum load
that can be carried and the
maximum pressure needed
to support that load.
