Tire Sidewall Labeling

Useful information about a tire is molded into the

sidewall. The following illustrations are examples of a

typical P-Metric and a LT-Metric tire sidewall.

(A) Tire Size: The tire size code is a combination of

letters and numbers used to deﬁne a particular

tire’s width, height, aspect ratio, construction type and

service description. See the “Tire Size” illustration

later in this section for more detail.

(B) TPC Spec (Tire Performance Criteria

Speciﬁcation): Original equipment tires designed to

GM’s speciﬁc tire performance criteria have a TPC

speciﬁcation code molded onto the sidewall. GM’s TPC

speciﬁcations meet or exceed all federal safety

guidelines.

Department of Transportation (DOT) code indicates that

the tire is in compliance with the U.S. Department of

Transportation Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

(D) Tire Identiﬁcation Number (TIN): The letters and

numbers following DOT code are the Tire Identiﬁcation

Number (TIN). The TIN shows the manufacturer

and plant code, tire size, and date the tire was

manufactured. The TIN is molded onto both sides of the

tire, although only one side may have the date of

manufacture.

(E) Tire Ply Material: The type of cord and number of

plies in the sidewall and under the tread.

(F) Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG): Tire

manufacturers are required to grade tires based on

three performance factors: treadwear, traction and

temperature resistance. For more information, see

Uniform Tire Quality Grading on page 5-74.
