Treadwear Indicators
:
Narrow bands,
sometimes called wear bars, that show
across the tread of a tire when only 1.6 mm
(1/16 in) of tread remains. See When It Is
Time for New Tires 3261.
UTQGS (Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Standards) : A tire information system
that provides consumers with ratings
for atire's traction, temperature, and
treadwear. Ratings are determined by tire
manufacturers using government testing
procedures. The ratings are molded into
the sidewall of the tire. See Uniform Tire
Quality Grading 3263.
Vehicle Capacity Weight : The number of
designated seating positions multiplied
by 68 kg (150 lbs) plus the rated cargo load.
See Vehicle Load Limits 3160.
Vehicle Maximum Load on the Tire : Load
on an individual tire due to curb weight,
accessory weight, occupant weight, and
cargo weight.
Vehicle Placard : A label permanently
attached to avehicle showing the
vehicle's capacity weight and the original
equipment tire size and recommended
in
flation pressure. See “Tire and Loading
Information Label” under Vehicle Load
Limits 3160.
Tire Pressure
Tires need the correct amount of air
pressure to operate effectively.
{ Warning
N
either tire underinflation nor
ov
erinflation is good. Underinflated
tires, or tires that do not have enough
air, can result in:
•
Tire overloading and overheating,
which could lead to ablowout
•
Premature or irregular wear
•
Poor handling
•
Reduced fuel economy for internal
combustion engine vehicles
•
Reduced range for electric vehicles
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Overinflated tires, or tires that have too
much air, can result in:
•
Unusual wear
•
Poor handling
•
Rough ride
•
Needless damage from road hazards
The Tire and Loading Information label
on
the vehicle indicates the original
equipment tires and the correct cold tire
inflation pressures. The recommended
pressure is the minimum air pressure
needed to support the vehicle's maximum
load carrying capacity. See Vehicle Load
Limits 3160.
How the vehicle is loaded affects vehicle
handling and ride comfort. Never load
the vehicle with more weight than it was
designed to carry.
