Temperature Letter
This letter indicates a tire's resistance to heat. The temperature grade is for a tire that is inflated properly
and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under inflation or excessive loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat build-up and possible tire failure. From highest to lowest, a tire's resistance
to heat is graded as "A", "B", or "C".
Additional Information on Light Truck Tires
Please refer to the following diagram.
Tires for light trucks have other markings besides
those found on the sidewalls of passenger tires.
LT
The "LT" indicates the tire is for light trucks or trailers.

An "ST" is an indication the tire is for trailer use only.
Max. Load Dual kg (lbs) at kPa (psi) Cold
This information indicates the maximum load and tire pressure when the tire is used as a dual, that is,
when four tires are put on each rear axle (a total of six or more tires on the vehicle).
Max. Load Single kg
(lbs) at kPa (psi) Cold
This information indicates the maximum load and tire pressure when the tire is used as a single.
Load Range
This information identifies the tire's load-carrying capabilities and its inflation limits.
Tire Safety Tips
Preventing Tire Damage
Slow down if you have to go over a pothole or other object in the road.
Do not run over curbs or other foreign objects in the roadway, and try not to strike the curb when parking.
Tire Safety Checklist
Check tire pressure regularly (at least once a month), including the spare.
Inspect tires for uneven wear patterns on the tread, cracks, foreign objects, or other signs of wear or
trauma.
Remove bits of glass and foreign objects wedged in the tread.
Make sure your tire valves have valve caps.
Check tire pressure before going on a long trip.
Do not overload your vehicle. Check the Tire Information and Loading Placard or User’s Manual for the
maximum recommended load for the vehicle
