Checking tire life (TIN : Tire
Identification Number)
Wheels are also marked with important
information that you need if you ever
have to replace one. The following
explains what the letters and numbers in
the wheel size designation mean.
The chart below lists many of the differ-
ent speed ratings currently being used
for passenger car tire. The speed rating
is part of the tire size designation on the
sidewall of the tire. This symbol corre-
sponds to that tire's designed maximum
safe operating speed.
Any tires that are over 6 years old, based
on the manufacturing date, (including the
spare tire) should be replaced by new
ones. You can find the manufacturing
date on the tire sidewall (possibly on the
inside of the wheel), displaying the DOT
Code. The DOT Code is a series of num-
bers on a tire consisting of numbers and
English letters. The manufacturing date
is designated by the last four digits (char-
acters) of the DOT code.
Example wheel size designation:
