6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum
load in kilograms and pounds that
can be carried by the tire. When
replacing the tires on the vehicle,
always use a tire that has the same
load rating as the factory installed
tire.
7. Uniform Tire Quality Grading
(UTQG):
Tire manufacturers are required to
grade tires based on three perfor-
mance factors: treadwear, traction
and temperature resistance. For more
information, see Uniform Tire Qual-
ity Grading on page 8-14.

TIRE TERMINOLOGY AND DEFINI-
TIONS
Air Pressure:
The amount of air inside
the tire pressing outward on the tire. Air
pressure is expressed in pounds per
square inch (psi) or kilopascal (kPa).
Accessory Weight:
This means the
combined weight of optional accesso-
ries. Some examples of optional ac-
cessories are, automatic transmission,
power seats, and air conditioning.
Aspect Ratio:
The relationship of a
tire's height to its width.
Belt:
A rubber coated layer of cords that
is located between the plies and the
tread. Cords may be made from steel or
other reinforcing materials.
Bead:
The tire bead contains steel
wires wrapped by steel cords that hold
the tire onto the rim.
Bias Ply Tire:
A pneumatic tire in which
the plies are laid at alternate angles
less than 90 degrees to the centerline of
the tread.
Cold Tire Pressure:
The amount of air
pressure in a tire, measured in pounds
per square inch (psi) or kilopascals
(kPa) before a tire has built up heat from
driving.
Curb Weight:
This means the weight of
a motor vehicle with standard and op-
tional equipment including the maxi-

but without passengers and cargo.
DOT Markings:
A code molded into the
sidewall of a tire signifying that the tire
is in compliance with the U.S. Depart-
ment of Transportation motor vehicle
safety standards. The DOT code in-
cludes the Tire Identification Number
(TIN), an alphanumeric designator which
can also identify the tire manufacturer,
production plant, brand and date of
production.
GVWR:
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
GAWR FRT:
Gross Axle Weight Rating
for the front Axle.
GAWR RR:
Gross Axle Weight Rating
for the rear axle.
