2.Tire  size designation
1
A tire’s sidewall is marked  with a tire
size  designation. You  will need  this
information  when selecting  replace-
ment tires for  your car. The following
explains  what the  letters  and  num-
bers   in  the   tire   size  designation
mean.
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel  alignment helps  to  decrease
tire  wear. If  you  find  a tire  is  worn
unevenly, have your dealer check the
wheel alignement.
When  you have  new tires  installed,
make  sure they  are  balanced. This
will increase vehicle ride comfort and
tire  life.  Additionally,   a  tire  should
always be rebalanced if it is removed
from the wheel.
