Tire sidewall labeling
2. Tire size designation
A tire’s sidewall is marked with a tire
size designation. You will need this
information when selecting replace-

explains what the letters and num-
bers in the tire size designation

Tire traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tires, tires that are
improperly inflated or on slippery
road surfaces. Tires should be
replaced when tread wear indicators

is rain, snow or ice on the road, to
reduce the possibility of losing con-
trol of the vehicle.
