Tire Markings
NOTE:
• P (Passenger) — Metric tire sizing is based on US design
standards. P-Metric tires have the letter “P” molded into
the sidewall preceding the size designation. Example:
P215/65R15 95H.
• European — Metric tire sizing is based on European
design standards. Tires designed to this standard have the
tire size molded into the sidewall beginning with the
section width. The letter "P" is absent from this tire size
designation. Example: 215/65R15 96H.
• LT (Light Truck) — Metric tire sizing is based on US design
standards. The size designation for LT-Metric tires is the
same as for P-Metric tires except for the letters “LT” that
are molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa-
tion. Example: LT235/85R16.
• Temporary spare tires are designed for temporary emergency
use only. Temporary high pressure compact spare tires have
the letter “T” or “S” molded into the sidewall preceding the
size designation. Example: T145/80D18 103M.
• High flotation tire sizing is based on US design standards
and it begins with the tire diameter molded into the side-
wall. Example: 31x10.5 R15 LT.
