• Standard load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a

maximum load at set pressure. For example: For P-metric tires 35 psi

(2.4 bar) or 36 (2.5 bar) depending on tire size and for Metric tires

36 psi (2.5 bar). Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure

will not increase the tire capability.

• Extra load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a

heavier maximum load at 42 psi (2.9 bar). Increasing the inflation

pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tire’s load-carrying

capability.

• kPa: KiloPascal, a metric unit of air pressure.

• PSI: Pounds per square inch, a standard unit of air pressure.

• Cold tire pressure: The tire pressure when the vehicle has been

stationary and out of direct sunlight for an hour or more and prior to

the vehicle being driven for 1 mile (1.6 kilometers).

• Recommended inflation pressure: The cold inflation pressure found

on the Safety Compliance Certification Label (affixed to either the

door hinge pillar, door-latch post, or the door edge that meets the

door-latch post, next to the driver’s seating position) or Tire Label

located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door.

• B-pillar: The structural member at the side of the vehicle behind the

front door.

• Bead area of the tire: Area of the tire next to the rim.

• Sidewall of the tire: Area between the bead area and the tread.

• Tread area of the tire: Area of the perimeter of the tire that

contacts the road when mounted on the vehicle.

• Rim: The metal support (wheel) for a tire or a tire and tube assembly

upon which the tire beads are seated.

INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE TIRE SIDEWALL

Both U.S. and Canada Federal regulations require tire manufacturers to

place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This

information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of

the tire and also provides a U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number for

safety standard certification and in case of a recall.
