Infiniti FX45 (2007) [338/384] Tire labeling

TIRE LABELING

Federal law requires tire manufacturers

to place standardized information on

the sidewall of all tires. This informa-

tion identifies and describes the funda-

mental characteristics of the tire and

also provides the tire identification

number (TIN) for safety standard certifi-

cation. The TIN can be used to identify

the tire in case of a recall.

Tire size (example: P215/65R15 95H)

1. P: The “P” indicates the tire is de-

signed for passenger vehicles (not

all tires have this information).

2. Three-digit number (215): This

number gives the width in millime-

ters of the tire from sidewall edge to

sidewall edge.

3. Two-digit number (65): This number,

known as the aspect ratio, gives the

tire’s ratio of height to width.

4. R: The “R” stands for radial.

5. Two-digit number (15): This number

is the wheel or rim diameter in

inches.

6. Two- or three-digit number (95): This

number is the tire’s load index. It is

a measurement of how much weight

each tire can support. You may not

find this information on all tires be-

cause it is not required by law.

7. H: Tire speed Rating. You should not

drive the vehicle faster than the tire

speed rating.
