TIRE LABELING
Federal law requires tire manufacturers
to place standardized information on the
sidewall of all tires. This information
identifies and describes the fundamen-
tal characteristics of the tire and also
provides the tire identification number
(TIN) for safety standard certification.
The TIN can be used to identify the tire in
case of a recall.

P: The “P” indicates the tire is de-
signed for passenger vehicles. (Not all

ber gives the width in millimeters of
the tire from sidewall edge to side-
wall edge.
3.
Two-digit number (60): This number,
known as the aspect ratio, gives the
tire’s ratio of height to width.
