Rim diameter
The rim diameter 4 ( page 264) is the
diameter of the bead seat, not the
diameter of the rim edge. Rim diameter is
indicated in inches (in).
Tire load rating
The tire load rating 5 ( page 264) is a
numerical code associated with the
maximum load a tire can support.
For example, a load rating of 91 corre-
sponds to a maximum load of 1356 lbs
(615 kg) the tire is designed to support.
See also "Maximum tire load"
( page 269) where the maximum load
associated with the load index is indicated
in kilograms and lbs.
Warning!
The tire load rating must always be at least
half of the GAWR ( page 274) of your vehi-
cle. Otherwise, tire failure may be the result
which may cause an accident and/or seri-
ous personal injury to you or others.
Always replace rims and tires with the same
designation, manufacturer and type as
shown on the original part.
Warning!
Do not overload the tires by exceeding the
specified load limit as indicated on the plac-
ard located on the driver's door B-pillar.
Overloading the tires can overheat them,
possibly causing a blowout. Overloading the
tires can also result in handling or steering
problems, or brake failure.
