NOTE:
• P (Passenger) — Metric tire sizing is based on
U.S. design standards. P-Metric tires have the
letter "P" molded into the sidewall preceding
the size designation. Example: P215/
65R15 95H.
• European — Metric tire sizing is based on
European design standards. Tires designed to
this standard have the tire size molded into
the sidewall beginning with the section width.
The letter "P" is absent from this tire size
designation. Example: 215/65R15 96H.
• LT (Light Truck) — Metric tire sizing is based
on U.S. design standards. The size designa-
tion for LT-Metric tires is the same as for
P-Metric tires except for the letters "LT" that
are molded into the sidewall preceding the
size designation. Example: LT235/85R16.
• Temporary spare tires are designed for tempo-
rary emergency use only. Temporary high pres-
sure compact spare tires have the letter "T" or
"S" molded into the sidewall preceding the
size designation. Example:
80D18 103M.
• High flotation tire sizing is based on U.S.
design standards and it begins with the tire
diameter molded into the sidewall. Example:
