• Speed Rating- The speed rating denotes the speed at which a tire is designed to be driven for extended periods of time. This does not indicate that the Tire Speed Rating Codes vehicle or rims can safely reach or maintain that speed. Code MPH Code MPH Code MPH These ratings are listed to the right. (The markings on F 50 N 87 U 124 the example tire diagram show M. The markings on your G 56 P 94 H 130 J 62 Q 100 V 149 tire may differ.
Tire care Checking Tire Pressure Note: Underinflated tires can decrease handling, stopping performance, traction, tire life, and load-carrying capability, in addition to causing other negative and hazardous effects, including tire failure. Overinflated tires are at greater risk of an impact break, where the tread and casing break when striking a hard edge, often opening a huge gash across the tread. Incorrect inflation pressure also increases tires wear rate.
7. If the tires’ pressure was not measured “cold”, then the pressure should be rechecked with the tires cold as soon as possible. Tire Size To maintain safety, only purchase new tires of the same size as the original tires. Look at the Tire and Loading Information Placard, the Specifications Chart in this manual, or the sidewall of the tire being replaced. If you have any doubt about selecting the correct size, consult a tire dealer.
Vehicle Load Limit Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit 1. Locate the statement “The weight of cargo should never exceed XXX pounds” on your vehicle’s placard. 2. That figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. 3. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity. 4.
INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING 1. The Chart on the next page serves as a basic guideline for scheduling your trailer maintenance. Maintenance may be different based on your local conditions, use of trailer, and frequency of trailer use. 2. CAUTION! All maintenance, service, or repairs listed in this manual are only to be attempted by a qualified service technician. Maintenance of trailer Coupler Before each use ensure proper fit of coupler.
