and indicates that the tire meets all federal
standards. The next two numbers or letters
are the plant code where it was manufac-

and the last four numbers represent the
week and year the tire was built. For exam-
ple, 2501 means the 25th week of 2001.
The numbers in between are marketing
codes used at the manufacturer's discre-
tion. This information helps a tire manufac-
turer identify a tire for safety recall purpo-
ses.

ufacturers also must indicate the ply mate-
rials in the tire and the sidewall, which
include steel, nylon, polyester, and others.
Maximum Load:
Indicates the maximum
load in pounds and kilograms that can be
carried by the tire. Refer to the vehicle's tire
