• Temperature: The temperature grades are A
(the highest), B and C, representing the tire’s
resistance to the generation of heat and its ability
to dissipate heat when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test
wheel.
13. Maximum Permissible Inflation Pressure:
Tire manufacturer’s maximum permissible pressure
and/or the pressure at which the maximum load can
be carried by the tire. This pressure is normally
higher than the manufacturer’s recommended cold
inflation pressure which can be found on either the
tire label or certification label which is located on
the structure by the trailing edge of the driver’s door
or the edge of the driver’s door. The cold inflation
pressure should never be set lower than the
recommended pressure on the vehicle label.
The tire suppliers may have additional markings,
notes or warnings such as standard load, radial
tubeless, etc.
Additional information contained on the tire
sidewall for “LT” type tires
“LT” type tires have
some additional
information than those
of “P” type tires; these
differences are
described below:
1. LT: Indicates a tire,
designated by the Tire
and Rim Association
(T&RA), that is
intended for service on
light trucks.
2. Load Range/Load Inflation Limits: Indicates
the tires load-carrying capabilities and its inflation
limits.
3. Maximum Load Dual lbs. (kg) at psi (kPa)
cold: Indicates the maximum load and tire pressure
