Extended Performance Optimization (EPO) consists of two leading-

Dual-Layer Tread.
Extended Performance Compound (EPC) is a chemical agent that
helps reduce the loss of flexibility in rubber by reducing the hardening
caused by heat. By limiting the hardening, EPC helps minimize the loss
of wet handling and wet braking as the tread wears.
Dual-Layer Tread is comprised of two layers, with a compound that

There is a danger in installing a tire of one rim diameter on a rim of a different rim diameter.
LOAD AND INFLATION
Always replace a tire with another tire of exactly the same bead diameter as the diameter of the
rim on which it will be mounted.
TABLES
For example, a 16" tire goes with a 16" rim. Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5"
diameter rim. While it is possible to pass a 16" diameter tire over the lip or flange of a 16.5"
diameter rim, it cannot be inflated enough to position itself against the rim flange. If an attempt
is made to seat the tire bead by inflating, the tire bead will break with explosive force and could
cause serious injury or death.
Rims of different diameters and tapers cannot be interchanged. The top diagram at right

The bottom diagram shows how the beads of a 16" tire will not seat on a 16.5" rim. The

Proper Selection of Replacement Tires

There are numerous important recommendations to follow before specifying any
replacement tire:
PASSENGER TIRES
¾ Always refer to and follow the vehicle manufacturer's replacement tire

recommendations.
¾ In some cases, a vehicle manufacturer may specifically advise against

the application of replacement tires that are not the original size or type.
Always refer to and follow these recommendations.
LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
· Check the vehicle tire placard and/or the vehicle owner's manual for the OE tire
size(s), speed symbol, and recommended inflation pressure(s).
· Carefully note any differences between recommendations for front and rear axle
positions regarding the tire size and/or inflation pressure.
· Note that the vehicle may have specific recommendations regarding winter tires, or
other optional tires.
INFORMATION

Tires for light vehicles (most passenger cars and light trucks) are typically part of one of
the following groups:
PASSENGER TIRES

Load Index
The load index is a numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry at
the speed indicated by the tire's speed symbol under certain specified service conditions.
PASSENGER TIRES
¾ Tires with the same load index, regardless of tire size, may carry the
same load, but not always, and they may require substantially different
inflation pressures.
¾ The load index may not be used independently to determine replacement

tire acceptability for load capacity. An equal or greater load index does

not always correspond to equal or greater load capacity at all inflation
pressure settings, particularly when comparing P-metric and Euro-metric

Speed Symbol / Speed Rating

Always check and follow the recommendations in the vehicle owner's manual
and/or the vehicle tire placard regarding the use of speed rated tires. In gen-
eral, all tires on the vehicle should be the same speed rating and replacement tires
PASSENGER TIRES
should have a speed rating equal to or greater than the speed rating of the OE tires.
Typical speed ratings for passenger car and light truck tires are listed in the table at the
bottom of the page. Note the following guidelines and exceptions:
· To avoid reducing the speed capability of the vehicle, replace a speed rated
tire only with another tire having at least the same speed rating. It is the "top
LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
speed" of the "slowest" tire on the vehicle which limits the vehicle's top speed with-
out tire failure.
· If the OE tires are not speed rated carefully consider the type of vehicle and
service conditions expected by the consumer. Replacement tires may be speed
rated, if desired. Non-speed rated tires are usually for ordinary passenger or light
truck service and not for high speed driving.
INFORMATION
WARRANTY
· For winter tires, it is generally acceptable to apply a tire with a lower speed rating
than the OE tire for use in winter conditions; however, speed should be reduced
accordingly. All winter tires applied should be the same speed rating. Some vehi-
cles have specific recommendations regarding winter tires and their usage; always
check and follow the vehicle tire placard and/or the vehicle owner's manual.
GENERAL TECHNICAL
See page 87: WINTER TIRES (Including Studded Tires)

INFORMATION
· Tires with different speed ratings may vary in ride, handling, and/or other per-
formance characteristics. Thus, care should be taken when mixing tires of different
speed ratings on the same vehicle. It is the "top speed" of the "slowest" tire on the
vehicle which limits the vehicle's top speed without tire failure.

P-Metric vs. Euro-Metric Passenger Car Tires

Most passenger car tires are typically from one of the following groups:
Size Description Example

PASSENGER TIRES
Passenger Car P-Metric P205/55R16

Euro-Metric 205/55R16
These groups of tires have differences in their load and inflation characteristics, (includ-
ing a difference in their load capacity if they are applied to a light truck - see page 134,
PASSENGER CAR TIRES APPLIED TO LIGHT TRUCKS).
LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
· P-metric and Euro-metric passenger car tires have different load and infla-
tion standards that require careful observation. These differences also apply to
tires that have nearly the same size designations (i.e. P205/55R16 vs. 205/55R16).
· Euro-metric tires use load index tables to identify their load capacity at
various inflation pressures. Furthermore, these tires have different load index
tables for standard load and reinforced (extra load) versions. Carefully utilize the
correct table.

substitutes for standard load (SL) tires. A reinforced or extra load tire provides higher
maximum load capacity than a standard load tire of the same size; however:

Passenger Car Tires Applied To Light Trucks

Most mini-vans, full-size vans, SUV's and light duty pickup trucks are federally
classified as "light trucks." In general, these vehicles are specially designed to carry
more people and/or cargo than passenger cars and many have off-road design features,
PASSENGER TIRES
including increased ground clearance and 4x4 or all-wheel drive capability.
Therefore, as with other vehicles, tires originally equipped to a light truck by a vehicle
manufacturer have been specially selected to meet the expected use, loading, and per-
formance parameters of that particular vehicle.
LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
In many cases, passenger car-sized tires (P-metric or Euro-metric) are applied to light
trucks as original equipment.
· Passenger car-sized tires applied to light trucks must have their load capacity, at all
inflation pressures, reduced by a service factor. OE passenger car-sized tires have
already had this reduction taken into account by the vehicle manufacturer.
INFORMATION
WARRANTY
To determine the load capacity of a passenger car tire when applied to a light truck vehicle, divide the
load capacity (at a specific inflation pressure) of the passenger car tire by 1.1 and round to the nearest
pound (or kilogram). Follow the same procedure for all inflation pressures.
For example: P235/70R15 at 35 psi
Reference load: 1896 lbs (860kg) Å for passenger car use

Divide by 1.1: 1896 lbs ÷ 1.1 = 1724 lbs (782 kg) Å for light truck use
GENERAL TECHNICAL
INFORMATION
· OE passenger car-sized tires may not be optimum for a particular light truck con-
sumer's driving needs. In such cases, it may be desirable to substitute an appropri-
ately sized LT-metric or High Flotation light truck tire, typically at a higher inflation
pressure. However:

Winter Tires (Including Studded Tires)
Winter driving presents special challenges for vehicle mobility. The use of winter tires -
while improving traction performance in snow and ice - requires special care with
regard to acceleration, braking, cornering, and speed. It is important to drive with care,
PASSENGER TIRES
not only on snow and ice, but on dry and wet roads as well.
In winter driving conditions, vehicle control - and safe operation - under braking and
cornering is especially dependent upon the rear tires. For this reason, winter tires are
best applied to all wheel positions, and a necessity if winter tires are applied to the
front axle of any vehicle.
LIGHT TRUCK TIRES

¾ Some vehicles have specific recommendations regarding winter tires and
their usage; always check and follow the vehicle tire placard and/or the
vehicle owner's manual.
· Winter tires are best applied to all wheel positions.
INFORMATION
WARRANTY
· If winter tires are applied to the front axle of any vehicle, they must also
be installed on the rear. Do not apply winter tires to only the front axle - this
applies to all passenger cars and light trucks, including front wheel drive, 4x4 and
all-wheel drive vehicles.
· If winter tires are installed on the rear axle of any vehicle, it is recommended (but
GENERAL TECHNICAL
not required) that they be installed on the front axle.
INFORMATION
· All winter tires applied should be the same speed rating. It is generally acceptable
to apply winter tires with a lower speed rating than the OE tires for use in winter
conditions; however, speed should be reduced accordingly. It is the "top speed"
of the "slowest" tire on the vehicle which limits the vehicle's top speed without tire

failure.
· Never place bias ply or bias belted tires on the rear axle if radial tires are on the
front axle, regardless of which axle is the drive axle, unless the vehicle has duals on
the rear.
· Winter tires operated in summer conditions may wear more rapidly.

LOAD AND INFLATION
TABLES
· Studded winter tires follow the same recommendations above. In addition, only
new tires should be fitted with studs. Consult the Bridgestone or Firestone P/LT
Data Book for government regulations regarding the use of studded winter tires.

Plus Sizing
The concept of plus sizing is not new, but has expanded in the marketplace beyond
high performance sports cars. It is important to remember the following:
PASSENGER TIRES

recommendations.

LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
· Plus sizing typically aids handling performance, but may result in a less comfortable
ride; the substitute tires - and their wheels - may also be more susceptible to damage
by impact with potholes, road hazards, and other objects such as curbs.
· Never select a tire with a smaller size, or with less load carrying capacity, than the
tire specified on the vehicle tire placard.
· Substitute tires should never be inflated below the pressure shown on the vehicle
INFORMATION
WARRANTY
tire placard.
· Never exceed the maximum load capacity and/or inflation pressure listed on the
sidewall of the tire.
· Never exceed the maximum load capacity and/or inflation pressure of the wheel.
· Never utilize an unapproved wheel or one that does not meet the approved rim
width range for the selected tire size.
GENERAL TECHNICAL
INFORMATION
· Overall diameter of the replacement tires should be within +/-3% of the OE tire fit-
ment overall diameter.
· Acceptable load capacity and/or overall tire diameter do not imply acceptable vehi-
cle clearance. Body and chassis clearance must be checked on the vehicle's front
and rear axles.

Low Aspect Ratio Tires
Additional consideration should be made for low aspect ratio tires, particularly substi-
tute tires that are lower in aspect ratio than the OE tire fitments. Tires that are low in
aspect ratio typically aid handling performance and may have a subjective visual

appeal, but they may have numerous engineering trade-offs.
¾ Low aspect ratio tires-and their wheels-may be more susceptible to dam-

age by impact with potholes, road hazards, and other objects such as
curbs. Therefore, as with all other tires, it is important that inflation

Tire Mixing
Tires of different constructions and sizes may have different handling and/or other per-
formance characteristics. Therefore, note the following:
PASSENGER TIRES
¾ Unless otherwise specified by the vehicle manufacturer, it is recommend-

ed that all tires on a vehicle be the same size, construction (i.e. radial,
bias ply), and speed rating.
¾ Never mix tires of different size or construction on an axle (except for

temporary use of a spare).
LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
Additionally:
· 4x4 and AWD Vehicles: It is particularly important to match all tire sizes and con-
structions on four-wheel-drive (4x4) or all-wheel-drive (AWD) vehicles, unless other-
wise specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
INFORMATION
WARRANTY
· Winter Tires: Winter tires are best applied to all vehicle positions. If winter tires
are applied to the front axle of any vehicle, they must also be installed on the rear.
Do not apply winter tires to only the front axle --- this applies to all passenger cars
and light trucks, including front wheel drive, 4x4 and all-wheel drive vehicles. For
additional information, see page 135: WINTER TIRES (Including Studded Tires).
GENERAL TECHNICAL
INFORMATION
· Speed Rating: Tires with different speed ratings may vary in ride, handling, and/or
other performance characteristics. Thus, care should be taken when mixing tires of
different speed ratings on the same vehicle. It is the "top speed" of the "slowest"
tire on the vehicle which limits the vehicle's top speed without tire failure.
· Bias / Radial Tires: It is preferable to never mix bias ply, bias belted, or radial tires
