TIRE LABELING
Federal aw requires tire manufacturers to pace standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This infor-
mation identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and it also provides a tire identification
number for safety standard certification and in case of a recall.
US DOT TIRE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (TIN)
This begins with the letters “DOT” and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or
letters are the pant code where it was manufactured, and the ast four numbers represent the week and year the tire
was built. For example, the numbers 3197 means the 31st week of 1997. The other numbers are marketing codes used
at the manufacturer’s discretion. This is the number used to identify a tire in the event of a recall.
TIRE SIZE
To maintain tire safety, purchase new tires that are the same size as the vehicle’s original tires or another size rec-
ommended by the manufacturer. Look at the Tire and Loading Information abel, or the sidewall of the tire you are
repacing to find this information. If you have any doubt about the correct size to choose, consult with the tire dealer
