EXAMPLE: 95H
Maximum load indicates the maximum load
this tire is designed to carry.
Maximum Pressure indicates the maximum
permissible cold tire inflation pressure for
this tire.
The TIN may be found on one or both sides
of the tire but the date code may only be on
one side. Look for the TIN on the outboard
side of tires as mounted on the vehicle. If the
TIN is not found on the outboard side then
you will find it on the inboard side of the tire.
EXAMPLE: DOT MA L9 ABCD 1504
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and one-half
(1
1
/
2
) times as well on the government course
as a tire graded 100. The relative performance
of tires depends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart signifi-
cantly from the norm due to variations in
driving habits, service practices and differ-
ences in road characteristics and climate.
