392 Operation Tires and wheels Treadwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rat- ing based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For ex- ample, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1 1 / 2 ) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.
393 Operation Tires and wheels Tire ply material 1 Plies in sidewall 2 Plies under tread This marking tells you about the type of cord and number of plies in the sidewall and under the tread.
394 Operation Tires and wheels Bar Another metric unit for air pressure. There are 14.5038 pounds per sq uare inch (psi) to 1 bar; there are 100 kilopascals (kPa) to 1 bar. Bead The tire bead contains steel wires wrapped by steel cords that hold the tire onto the rim.
395 Operation Tires and wheels Maximum load rating The maximum load in kilograms and pounds that can be carried by the tire. Maximum loaded vehicle weight The sum of curb weight, accessory weight, total load limit an d production options weight.
396 Operation Tires and wheels Tire ply composition a nd material used This indicates the number of plies or the number of layers of rubber-coated fabric in the tire tread and sid ewall. Tire manufac- turers also must indicate the ply materials in the tire and sidewall, which include steel, nylon, polyester, and others.
397 Operation Tires and wheels If applicable to your vehicle’s tire configu- ration, tires can be rotated according to the tire manufacturer’s recommended in- tervals in the tire ma nufacturer’s warranty pamphlet located in your vehicle literature portfolio.
