Tire Identification Number (TIN)

The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire; however, the date code may only be on one side. Tires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN, including

the date code, located on the white sidewall side of the tire. Look for the TIN on the outboard side of black sidewall 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.

Load Identification:
Absence of the following load identification symbols on the sidewall of the tire indicates a Standard Load (SL) tire:



XL = Extra load (or reinforced) tire, or



LL = Light load tire or



C, D, E, F, G = Load range associated with the maximum load a tire can carry at a specified pressure

Maximum Load – Maximum load indicates the maximum load this tire is designed to carry

EXAMPLE:

DOT MA L9 ABCD 0301
DOT = Department of Transportation

Definition

B-pillar

The vehicle B-pillar is the structural member of the body located behind the front door.

Cold Tire Inflation Pressure

Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as the tire pressure after the vehicle has not been

driven for at least three hours, or driven less than 1

mile (1.6

km) after sitting for a minimum

of three hours. Inflation pressure is measured in units of PSI (pounds per square inch) or kPa

(kilopascals).

Maximum Inflation Pressure

The maximum inflation pressure is the maximum permissible cold tire inflation pressure for

this tire. The maximum inflation pressure is molded into the sidewall.

Recommended Cold Tire Inflation Pressure

The manufacturer's recommended cold tire inflation pressure as shown on the tire placard.

Tire Placard

A label permanently attached to the vehicle describing the vehicle’s loading capacity, the

original equipment tire sizes and the recommended cold tire inflation pressures.

Tire Loading And Tire Pressure

NOTE:

The proper cold tire inflation pressure is listed on

the driver’s side B-pillar or the rear edge of the

driver's side door.
Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including

the spare tire (if equipped), at least monthly and

inflate to the recommended pressure for your

vehicle.

Tire And Loading Information Placard

Tire And Loading Information Placard

This placard tells you important information about

the:
1. Number of people that can be carried in the

vehicle.

2. Total weight your vehicle can carry.
3. Tire size designed for your vehicle.
4. Cold tire inflation pressures for the front, rear,

and spare tires.

Loading

The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not

exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your

vehicle. You will not exceed the tire's load carrying

capacity if you adhere to the loading conditions, tire

size, and cold tire inflation pressures specified on the

Tire and Loading Information placard

NOTE:

Under a maximum loaded vehicle condition, Gross

axles must not be exceeded.

To determine the maximum loading conditions of

your vehicle, locate the statement “The combined

weight of occupants and cargo should never

exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on the Tire and Loading

Information placard. The combined weight of

occupants, cargo/luggage and trailer tongue

weight (if applicable) should never exceed the

weight referenced here.

Steps For Determining Correct Load

Limit—
(1) Locate the statement “The combined

weight of occupants and cargo should

never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your

vehicle's placard.
(2) Determine the combined weight of

the driver and passengers that will be

riding in your vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined weight of the

driver and passengers from XXX kg or

XXX lbs.

(4) The resulting figure equals the

available amount of cargo and luggage

load capacity. For example, if “XXX”

amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will

be five 150 lb passengers in your

vehicle, the amount of available cargo

and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.

(1400-750 (5x150) = 650 lbs.)
(5) Determine the combined weight of

luggage and cargo being loaded on the

vehicle. That weight may not safely

exceed the available cargo and luggage

load capacity calculated in Step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer,

load from your trailer will be transferred

to your vehicle. Consult this manual to

determine how this reduces the

available cargo and luggage load

capacity of your vehicle.

Metric Example For Load Limit
For example, if “XXX” amount equals 635 kg and

there will be five 68 kg passengers in your vehicle,

the amount of available cargo and luggage load

capacity is 295 kg (635-340 (5x68) = 295 kg) as

shown in step 4.

NOTE:



If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from

your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle.

The following table shows examples on how to

calculate total load, cargo/luggage, and towing

capacities of your vehicle with varying seating

configurations and number and size of occu

-

pants. This table is for illustration purposes only

and may not be accurate for the seating and

load carry capacity of your vehicle.



For the following example, the combined weight

of occupants and cargo should never exceed

865 lbs (392 kg).

WARNING!

Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the

recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
