The tire width 1 (୴ page 295) indicates
the nominal tire width in mm.
The rim diameter 4 (୴ page 295) is the
diameter of the bead seat, not the
diameter of the rim edge. Rim diameter is
indicated in inches (in).
The tire load rating must always be at least
half of the GAWR (୴ page 305) of your
vehicle. Otherwise, tire failure may be the
result which may cause an accident and/or
serious personal injury to you or others.
Aspect ratio
The aspect ratio 2 (୴ page 295) is the
dimensional relationship between tire
section height and section width and is
expressed in percentage. The aspect ratio
is arrived at by dividing section height by
section width.
Tire load rating
The tire load rating 5 (୴ page 295) is a
numerical code associated with the
maximum load a tire can support.
Always replace rims and tires with the same
designation, manufacturer and type as
shown on the original part.
For example, a load rating of 91 corre-
sponds to a maximum load of 1356 lbs
Warning!

Tire code
(615
kg) the tire is designed to support.
The tire code 3 (୴ page 295) indicates
the tire construction type. The “R” stands
for radial tire type. Letter “D” means
diagonal or bias ply construction; letter “B”
means belted-bias ply construction.
See also “Maximum tire load”
(୴ page 300) where the maximum load
associated with the load index is indicated
in kilograms and lbs.
Do not overload the tires by exceeding the
specified load limit as indicated on the Tire
and Loading Information placard located on
the driver’s door B-pillar. Overloading the
tires can overheat them, possibly causing a
blowout. Overloading the tires can also
result in handling or steering problems, or
brake failure.
At the tire manufacturer’s option, any tire
with a speed capability above 149 mph
(240
km/h) can include a “ZR” in the size
designation (for example: 245/40 ZR 18).
For additional information, see “Tire speed
rating” (୴ page 297).
