molded into the sidewall preceding the size des-
ignation. Example: P215/65R15 95H.
• European — Metric tire sizing is based on Euro-
pean design standards. Tires designed to this

wall beginning with the section width. The letter
"P" is absent from this tire size designation.
Example: 215/65R15 96H.

design standards. The size designation for LT-
Metric tires is the same as for P-Metric tires except
for the letters "LT" that are molded into the side-
wall preceding the size designation. Example:

• Temporary spare tires are designed for temporary
emergency use only. Temporary high pressure
