Speed rating

Load index

The data shown in the illustration is sample

data.

Further information about reading tire data can

be obtained from any qualified specialist work‐

shop.
Prefixing letter

"LT": light truck tires in accordance with US

manufacturer standards.

"C": tires for commercial usage in accordance

with European manufacturer standards.

The size ratio between the tire height and tire

width and is shown in percent (tire height divided

by tire width).
Tire code

(tire type):

"R": radial tire

Rim diameter

The diameter of the bead seat (not the diameter

of the rim flange). The rim diameter is specified in

inches (in).
Load-bearing index

Numerical code which specifies the maximum

load-bearing capacity of a tire ("91" equals, e.g.

1356 lb (615 kg)).
The tire load-bearing capacity must be at least

half the gross axle weight rating of the vehicle.

Do not overload the tires by exceeding the maxi‐

mum permissible load.

Loading Information placard (
