Tires: Application and ID

TIRE IDENTIFICATION





Tire type, size, aspect ratio and speed rating are encoded in the letters and numbers imprinted on the side wall of the tire. Refer to the chart to decipher the tire identification code (Fig. 11).
Performance tires have a speed rating letter after the aspect ratio number.





The speed rating is not always printed on the tire sidewall.
