molded into the sidewall preceding the size desig-
nation. Example: P215/65R15 95H.

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 designation 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 temporary
emergency use only. Temporary high pressure
compact spare tires have the letter "T" or "S"
molded into the sidewall preceding the size desig-
nation. Example: T145/80D18 103M.
• High flotation tire sizing is based on U.S. design
