[6] TIRE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (TIN): (Also known as
'DOT Code') The Tire Identification Number (TIN) begins with
the letters 'DOT' and shows that 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 317 mean the 31st
week of 1997. After 2000 the numbers go to four digits. For
example, 2501 means the 25th week of 2001. The numbers in
between are identification codes used for traceability. This
information is used to contact customers if a tire defect requires
a recall.
[7] 95: The tire's load index. It is an index that relates to how
much weight a tire can carry.
You may not find this information on all tires because it is not
required by federal law.
[8] H: The tire's speed rating. The speed rating denotes the
speed at which a tire is designed to be driven for extended
periods of time under a standard condition of load and inflation
pressure. The tires on your vehicle may operate at different
conditions for load and inflation pressure. These speed ratings
may need to be adjusted for the difference in conditions. The
ratings range from 81-186 mph. These ratings are listed in the
following chart.
