Original Equipment Key for Size Charts: FOR = Ford, JEP = Jeep, TOY = Toyota, GM = General Motors Government UTQG Ratings do not apply to Light Truck tires that are LT-metric or flotation size. These products meet the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA) Severe Snow Traction performance requirements. The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter) and +/-4% of the section width. Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" (12.7mm) change in rim width. WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to the vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires, and they should never inflate tires beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for recommendations. DANGER: Never mount a 15" diameter tire on a 15.5" rim. DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim. DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim. Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the Original Equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to them that the handling of the vehicle may be different and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the safe, legal speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed. For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure – and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing – is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the guidelines on the following page, which are based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation Standards Manual.
