Maximum Pressure indicates the
maximum permissible cold tire infla-
tion pressure for this tire.
The TIN may be found on one or
both sides of the tire but the date
code may only be on one side. Look
for the TIN on the outboard side of
tires as mounted on the vehicle. If the
TIN is not found on the outboard side
then you will find it on the inboard
side of the tire.

The treadwear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of the
tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified government
test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and one-
half (1
1
/
2
) times as well on the gov-
ernment course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions
of their use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those
grades represent the tire’s ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured
WARNING
Overloading of your tire is
dangerous. Overloading can
cause tire failure, affect vehi-
cle handling, and increase
your stopping distance. Use
tires of the recommended load
capacity for your vehicle.
Never overload them.
