Tire Information
Maximum loaded vehicle weight: The sum of curb weight, accessory weight, vehicle capacity weight, and
production options weight.
Measuring rim: The rim on which a tire is fitted for physical dimension requirements.
Non-pneumatic rim: A mechanical device which, when a non-pneumatic tire assembly incorporates a wheel,
supports the tire, and attaches, either integrally or separably, to the wheel center member and upon which the
tire is attached.
Non-pneumatic spare tire assembly: A non-pneumatic tire assembly intended for temporary use in place of
one of the pneumatic tires and rims that are fitted to a passenger car in compliance with the requirements of
this standard.
Non-pneumatic tire: A mechanical device which transmits, either directly or through a wheel or wheel center
member, the vertical load and tractive forces from the roadway to the vehicle, generates the tractive forces
that provide the directional control of the vehicle and does not rely on the containment of any gas or fluid for
providing those functions.
Non-pneumatic tire assembly: A non-pneumatic tire, alone or in combination with a wheel or wheel center
member, which can be mounted on a vehicle.
Normal occupant weight: This means 68 kilograms (150 lbs.) times the number of occupants specified in
the second column of Table I of 49 CFR 571.110.
Occupant distribution: The distribution of occupants in a vehicle as specified in the third column of Table I of
49 CFR 571.110.
Open splice: Any parting at any junction of tread, sidewall, or innerliner that extends to cord material.
Outer diameter: The overall diameter of an inflated new tire.
Overall width: The linear distance between the exteriors of the sidewalls of an inflated tire, including
elevations due to labeling, decorations, or protective bands or ribs.
Ply: A layer of rubber-coated parallel cords.
Ply separation: A parting of rubber compound between adjacent plies.
Pneumatic tire: A mechanical device made of rubber, chemicals, fabric and steel or other materials, that,
when mounted on an automotive wheel, provides the traction and contains the gas or fluid that sustains the
load.
Production options weight: The combined weight of those installed regular production options weighing
over 2.3 kilograms (5 lbs.) in excess of those standard items which they replace, not previously considered in
curb weight or accessory weight, including heavy duty brakes, ride levelers, roof rack, heavy duty battery, and
special trim.
Radial ply tire: A pneumatic tire in which the ply cords that extend to the beads are laid at substantially 90
degrees to the centerline of the tread.
Recommended inflation pressure: This is the inflation pressure provided by the vehicle manufacturer on the
Tire Information label and on the Certification / VIN tag.
Reinforced tire: A tire designed to operate at higher loads and at higher inflation pressures than the
corresponding standard tire.
Rim: A metal support for a tire or a tire and tube assembly upon which the tire beads are seated.
Rim diameter: This means the nominal diameter of the bead seat.
