Information on “T” type tires

“T” type tires have some additional
information beyond those of “P”
type tires; these differences are
described below:

T145/80D16 is an example of a tire
size.

Note: The temporary tire size for
your vehicle may be different from
this example.

1. T: Indicates a type of tire,

designated by the Tire and Rim
Association (T&RA), that is
intended for temporary service
on cars, SUVs, minivans and
light trucks.

2. 145: 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. 80: Indicates the aspect ratio which gives the tire’s ratio of height to

width. Numbers of 70 or lower indicate a short sidewall.

4. D: Indicates a “diagonal” type tire.

R: Indicates a “radial” type tire.

5. 16: 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.

Location of the tire label

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 driver’s door. Refer to the payload description and graphic in the
Vehicle loading — with and without a trailer section.
