Information on “P” type tires

P215/65R15 95H is an example of a
tire size, load index and speed
rating. The definitions of these
items are listed below. (Note that
the tire size, load index and speed
rating for your vehicle may be
different from this example.)

1.

P:

Indicates a tire, designated

by the Tire and Rim Association
(T&RA), that may be used for
service on cars, SUVs, minivans
and light trucks.

Note:

If your tire size does not

begin with a letter this may mean it
is designated by either ETRTO
(European Tire and Rim Technical Organization) or JATMA (Japan Tire
Manufacturing Association).

2.

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.

3.

65:

Indicates the aspect ratio which gives the tire’s ratio of height to

width.

4.

R:

Indicates a “radial” type tire.

5.

15:

Indicates the wheel or rim diameter in inches. If you change

your wheel size, you will have to purchase new tires to match the
new wheel diameter.

6.

95:

Indicates the tire’s load index. It is an index that relates to how

much weight a tire can carry. You may find this information in your

Owner’s Guide.

If not, contact a local tire dealer.

Note:

You may not find this information on all tires because it is not

required by federal law.

7.

H:

Indicates 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 mph (130
km/h) to 186 mph (299 km/h). These ratings are listed in the
following chart.
