Section width- This number gives the width of the tire in inches. The larger the number, the wider the
tire. (The markings on the example tire diagram show 4.80. The markings on your tire may differ.)
Inner diameter- This number gives the inner diameter of the tire in inches. This is also the rim diameter
in inches. (The markings on the example tire diagram show 12. The markings on your tire may differ.)
U.S. DOT tire identification number- This begins with the letters “DOT” and indicates that the tire meets
all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant code where it was manufactured, and
the last four numbers represent the week and year that the tire was built. For example, the numbers 2107
mean the 21st week of 2007. Any other numbers used are marketing codes used at the manufacturer’s
discretion. This information is used to contact consumers if a tire defect requires a recall.

be carried by the tire.
