this example.

intended for temporary service on
cars, SUVs, minivans and light
trucks.

of the tire in millimeters from
sidewall edge to sidewall edge. In general, the larger the number, the

and other important information located on the B-Pillar or the edge of
the driver’s door. Refer to the payload description and graphic in the
