Tire Identification Number (TIN)
Look for the TIN on the outboard side of black sidewall
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 TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire
how ever the date code may only be on one side. Tires
with white sidewalls will have the full TIN inclu ding
date code located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
