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 (a†ecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width. 2. Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5 mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width. 3. Tread patterns are often tuned to accommodate di†erent tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tire line may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph. 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 vehicle owner's manual or tire informa- tion 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 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 its recommendations. 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 him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be di†erent, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful 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 following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organi- zation Standards Manual. For speeds over 100 mph (160 km/h), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below. OE Code [Original Equipment Key]: GM = General Motors Government UTQG Ratings do not apply to Light Truck tires that are LT metric or flotation size. For all P-metric sizes: Passenger sizes used in Light Truck/SUV applications have reduced load capacity. This will di†er from the maximum load branded on the tire sidewall. XL=Extra Load For speeds above 186 mph (300 km/h), consult your vehicle manufacturer and tire dealer. Passenger sizes used in CUV/SUV/Light Truck applications have reduced load capacity. This will differ from the maximum load branded on the tire sidewall. Government UTQG Ratings do not apply to light truck sized tires or winter tires.
