INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE
Both U.S. and Canada Federal regulations require tire manufacturers to place standardized
information on the sidewall of all tires. This information identifies and describes the characteristics
of the tire.
Maximum Permissible Inflation Pressure: Indicates the tire manufacturer's maximum
permissible pressure and/or the pressure at which the maximum load can be carried by the tire.
Refer to the Certification Label on the port forward half of the trailer for the correct tire pressure
for your trailer.
U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN)
This begins with the letters 'DOT' and indicates the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters
are the plant code designating where it was manufactured, the next two are the tire size code, and the last four
numbers represent the week and year the tire was built. For example, the numbers 5110 mean the tire was built the
51st week of 2010. The numbers are identification codes used for traceability. This information is used to contact
customers if a tire defect requires a recall.
ST: Indicates the tire is a special tire for trailers in highway service.
215: 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 will be.
65: Indicates the aspect ratio which gives the tire's ratio of height to width.
