Load identification
In addition to tire load rating, special load
information may be molded into the tire
sidewall following the letter designating
the tire speed rating 6 (୴ page 295).
DOT, Tire Identification Number (TIN)
U.S. tire regulations require each new tire
manufacturer or tire retreader to mold a
TIN into or onto a sidewall of each tire
produced.
No specification given: absence of any text
(like in above example) indicates a
standard load (SL) tire.
The TIN is a unique identifier which facili-
tates efforts by tire manufactures to notify
purchasers in recall situations or other
safety matters concerning tires and gives
purchasers the means to easily identify
such tires.
XL or Extra Load: designates an extra load
(or reinforced) tire.
Light Load: designates a light load tire.

Load identification
C, D, E: designates load range associated
with the maximum load a tire can carry at
a specified pressure.
The TIN is comprised of “Manufacturer’s
identification mark”, “Tire size”, “Tire type
code”, and “Date of manufacture”.
i For illustration purposes only. Actual data
on tires is specific to each vehicle and may vary
from data shown in above illustration.
