manufacturer or tire retreader to mold a
TIN into or onto a sidewall of each tire
produced.
No specification given: absence of any text
(like in above example) indicates a
standard load (SL) tire.
The TIN is a unique identifier which facili-
tates efforts by tire manufactures to notify
purchasers in recall situations or other
safety matters concerning tires and gives
purchasers the means to easily identify
such tires.
XL or Extra Load: designates an extra load
(or reinforced) tire.
Light Load: designates a light load tire.

identification mark”, “Tire size”, “Tire type
code” and “Date of manufacture”.

on tires are specific to each vehicle and may vary
