Note: For tires with a maximum

speed capability over 149 mph

(240 km/h), tire manufacturers

sometimes use the letters ZR. For

those with a maximum speed

capability over 186 mph (299

km/h), tire manufacturers always

use the letters ZR.

H. U.S. DOT Tire Identification

Number (TIN): This begins with

the letters DOT and indicates that

the tire meets all federal

standards. The next two numbers

or letters are the plant code

designating where it was

manufactured, the next two are

the tire size code and the last four

numbers represent the week and

year the tire was built. For

example, the numbers 317 mean

the 31st week of 1997. After 2000,

the numbers go to four digits. For

example, 2501 means the 25th

week of 2001. The numbers in

between are identification codes

used for traceability. This

information is used to contact

customers if a tire defect requires

a recall.

I. M+S or M/S: Mud and Snow, or

AT: All Terrain, or

AS: All Season.

J. Tire Ply Composition and

Material Used: Indicates the

number of plies or the number of

layers of rubber-coated fabric in

the tire tread and sidewall. Tire

manufacturers also must indicate

the ply materials in the tire and the

sidewall, which include steel,

nylon, polyester, and others.

K. Maximum Load: Indicates the

maximum load in kilograms and

pounds that can be carried by the

tire. See 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), for the correct tire

pressure for your vehicle.

L. Treadwear, Traction and

Temperature Grades:

314

2024 Edge (CDQ) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202306, DOM

Wheel and Tire Information

*Treadwear The treadwear grade

is a comparative rating based on

the wear rate of the tire when

tested under controlled conditions

on a specified government test

course. For example, a tire graded

150 would wear one and one-half

times as well on the government

course as a tire graded 100.

*Traction: The traction grades,

from highest to lowest are AA, A,

B, and C. The grades represent the

tire's ability to stop on wet

pavement as measured under

controlled conditions on specified

government test surfaces of

asphalt and concrete. A tire

marked C may have poor traction

performance.

*Temperature: The temperature

grades are A (the highest), B and

C, representing the tire's

resistance to the generation of

heat and its ability to dissipate

heat when tested under controlled

conditions on a specified indoor

laboratory test wheel.

M. Maximum Inflation

Pressure: Indicates the tire

manufacturers' maximum

permissible pressure or the

pressure at which the maximum

load can be carried by the tire. This

pressure is normally higher than

the vehicle manufacturer's

recommended cold inflation

pressure which can be 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 which is

located on the B-Pillar or the edge

of the driver’s door. The cold

inflation pressure should never be

set lower than the recommended

pressure on the vehicle label.

The tire suppliers may have

additional markings, notes or

warnings such as standard load

or radial tubeless.

Additional Information

Contained on the Tire Sidewall

for LT Type Tires

Note: Tire Quality Grades do not

apply to this type of tire.

E142544

LT type tires have some additional

information beyond those of P

type tires; these differences are

described below.
