Nissan Murano. Tire labeling

Example

Federal law requires tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also provides the Tire Identification Number (TIN) for safety standard certification. The TIN can be used to identify the tire in case of a recall.

  3. Two-digit number (65): This number, known as the aspect ratio, gives the tire’s ratio of height to width.
  4. R: The “R” stands for radial.
  5. Two-digit number (15): This number is the wheel or rim diameter in inches.
  6. Two- or three-digit number (95): This number is the tire’s load index. It is a measurement of how much weight each tire can support. You may not find this information on all tires because it is not required by law.
  7. H: Tire speed rating. You should not drive the vehicle faster than the tire speed rating.
