Intended Outboard Sidewall:
The
side of an asymmetrical tire, that must
always face outward when mounted on
a vehicle.
Kilopascal (kPa):
The metric unit for
air pressure.
Load Index:
An assigned number rang-
ing from 1 to 279 that corresponds to
the load carrying capacity of a tire.
Maximum Inflation Pressure:
The
maximum air pressure to which a cold
tire may be inflated. The maximum air
pressure is molded onto the sidewall.
Maximum Load Rating:
The load rat-
ing for a tire at the maximum permis-
sible inflation pressure for that tire.
Maximum Loaded Vehicle Weight:
The sum of curb weight; accessory
weight; vehicle capacity weight; and
production options weight.
Normal Occupant Weight:
The num-
ber of occupants a vehicle is designed
to seat multiplied by 150 pounds (68
kg).
Occupant Distribution:
Designated
seating positions.
Outward Facing Sidewall:
The side
of a asymmetrical tire that has a par-
ticular side that faces outward when
mounted on a vehicle. The side of the
tire that contains a whitewall, bears
white lettering or bears manufacturer,
brand and or model name molding that
is higher or deeper than the same
moldings on the other sidewall of the
tire.
Passenger (P-Metric) Tire:
A tire used
on passenger cars and some light duty
trucks and multipurpose vehicles.
Recommended Inflation Pressure:
Vehicle manufacturer's recommended
tire inflation pressure and shown on
the tire placard.
Radial Ply tire:
A pneumatic tire in
which the ply cords that extend to the
beads are laid at 90 degrees to the
centerline of the tread.
Rim:
A metal support for a tire and
upon which the tire beads are seated.
Sidewall:
The portion of a tire be-
tween the tread and the bead.
Speed Rating:
An alphanumeric code
assigned to a tire indicating the maxi-
mum speed at which a tire can oper-
ate.
Traction:
The friction between the tire
and the road surface. The amount of
grip provided.
Tread:
The portion of a tire that comes
into contact with the road.
Treadwear Indicators:
Narrow bands,
sometimes called "wear bars," that
show across the tread of a tire when
only 2/32 inch of tread remains.
UTQGS:
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Standards, a tire information system
that provides consumers with ratings
for a tire's traction, temperature and
treadwear. Ratings are determined by
tire manufacturers using government
testing procedures. The ratings are
molded into the sidewall of the tire.
