Information on “T” type tires

T145/80D16 is an example of a tire

size.

Note: The temporary tire size for

your vehicle may be different from

this example.

1. T: Indicates a type of tire,

designated by the Tire and Rim

Association (T&RA), that is

intended for temporary service on

cars, SUVs, minivans and light

trucks.

2. 145: Indicates the nominal width

of the tire in millimeters from

sidewall edge to sidewall edge. In

general, the larger the number, the

wider the tire.

3. 80: Indicates the aspect ratio

which gives the tire’s ratio of height to width. Numbers of 70 or lower

indicate a short sidewall.

4. D: Indicates a “diagonal” type tire.

R: Indicates a “radial” type tire.

5. 16: Indicates the wheel or rim diameter in inches. If you change your

wheel size, you will have to purchase new tires to match the new wheel

diameter.

Location of the tire label

You will find a tire label containing tire inflation pressure by tire size and

other important information located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the

driver’s door.

TIRE CARE

Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can also cause tires to wear

abnormally. Here are some of the important maintenance items:

Inflating your tires

When checking the air pressure in your tires, make sure that you

carefully attach the air pressure gauge/air hose to the tire’s valve

stem directly on top of the valve stem. If you bend the valve stem, it

may become damaged and cause an air leak.
