Read Your Tires

Tire Type The letter "P" or the letterless designation indicates a passenger tire.
Structure The letter "R" indicates the meridian (structure)

The ECE certification mark and number indicate that the tyre complies with the standards of the European Economic Commission (ECE) for pneumatic tyres.

Tire Pressure Information Indicates the maximum tire pressure allowable value of your tire, which is the most important information to check when checking tire pressure. To find out the recommended inflation pressures for your vehicle, please consult your car manual and the relevant tire signs on the body.

Tread wear indication point The letter "TWI" indicates the position of the tread wear indicator of the tire. You should check these signs regularly to make sure the tread pattern is deep enough. In most cases the minimum pattern depth is 1.6 mm.Date of manufacture The date of manufacture of the tyre is expressed in four digits of the week and year of production.

The flatness ratio is the ratio of the height to the width of the tire section, expressed as a percentage. For example, a flat ratio of 65 means that the tire height is about 65% of its width.Wheel diameter The diameter (height) of the wheel is indicated in inches.

Load Index The load index of a tire tells you its maximum load carrying capacity. It is important to choose a tire that matches your manufacturer's recommendations for replacement. You can find the load index on the sidewall of the tire, just beside the diameter

Speed Level The speed level is the maximum speed allowed under the correct inflation pressure and load. You can find the speed level on the sidewall, which is an English letter printed on it. For example, the speed level V indicates that the maximum travel speed of the tire is 240 km/h. When you buy a tire, be sure to match its speed level to the speed capability of your vehicle.
