To protect the rubber from the harmful UV
rays.A common type of UVstabilizer called acompetitive absorber isadded to capture andabsorb these harmfulUV light wave energy.

Bias Ply TireBias Ply TireBias Ply TireBias Ply TireA bias ply tire has
plies running at an
angle from bead to bead.The cord angle is alsoreversed from ply to

Tire SizeTire SizeI f you switch tire size on a car you can mess up thespeedometer to figure out how close you are do the mathto figure out the diameter.
For a 205/75R15 tire it would look like this
205 X .75 x 2 25.4 + 15= 27.106
Tire size X Aspect ratio X 2 25.4 + Rim size100

These are some of the most common ones.

A spect RatioA spect Ratio
S o if we have a P 205/60R15 tire. The width is205 millimeters and the height is 60% of thewidth. That means 205 x .6 = 123 millimeters.That tire should be 123 millimeters tall.You can raise or lower your car by changing theheight of the side wall.

SERV ICE DES CR IPTIONSERV ICE DES CR IPTION
O n most tires, you will notice some additional numbers and letterslocated at the end of the tire size.
For Example:P
185/70R14 92S
I n this example the 92 S is called the S ERV IC E DE SC R IP T ION .
The S ervice Description consists of two parts, L O AD IN DEX (thenumbers) and SP EED RAT ING (the letter).
The SP EED RAT ING is a letter which designates the ratingachieved on indoor wheel testing.

L oad IndexL oad Index
The LO AD I NDEX is a number ranging from 0 to 279 and coversload capacities from the smallest motorcycle tires to those for thelargest earth mover tires. I n passenger car tires, the load indextypically ranges from 75 to 100.As in aspect ratio where the operative word was ratio , in loadindex the operative word here is index . An index is a point of reference or a chart to refer to find information. All tire guides
used by retail tire stores have them and they have load index chartsin them. By referring to the load index chart in the Tire Guide youcan determine the maximum load carrying capacity of a tire sizefrom using the load index number at the end of the P-Metric size.
For Example:Load Index Max Load (lbs.)91 135692 138993 1433

Tires are tested under L
aboratory conditions they are not wornout, are properly inflated, not over loaded, damaged or altered.
Just because the tire is rated at these speeds does not mean thecar is safe or legal to drive at those speeds.

Nitrogen in tiresNitrogen in tires Nitrogen is a dry inert gas. That meansmoisture free.
Nitrogen leaks out of the sidewall threetimes slower then oxygen.O xygen oxidizes the rubber in the sidewall.Plus the moisture in the air will rust thesteel rims.

Tire ReplacementTire ReplacementO ne problem with replacing just one tire on F W D,AW D or 4X4s is that you have a different size tirewhen you measure the circumference this creates a
problems with the transaxles and drive trains. I talso causes problems with traction control andABS stopping. Tires need to be rotated at leastevery 7500 miles and if one tire is damaged on oneof these cars all 4, count them F O UR tires need to
be changed. Tread depth should be maintainedwithin 4/32 of each tire.

To find the diameter you measure the circumference (C) and divideit by Pi (3.14) ( C Pi = Diameter )44 3.14 = 14.0127 So it is really a 14 inch rimThat math class is important.
