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

1. P: The “P” indicates the tire is de-
signed for passenger vehicles. (Not
all tires have this information.)
2. Three-digit number (215): This
number gives the width in millime-
ters of the tire from sidewall edge to
sidewall edge.
3. Two-digit number (65): This number,
known as the aspect ratio, gives the
tire’s ratio of height to width.
4. R: The “R” stands for radial.
