designated by the Tire and Rim

light trucks.

2.

145:

Indicates the nominal

from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. In general, the larger the
number, the wider the tire.

You will find a tire label containing tire inflation pressure by tire size and
other important information located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the
