design standards. P-Metric tires have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation.
Example: P215/65R15 95H.

• Temporary spare tires are high-pressure compact spares designed for temporary emergency use only.
Tires designed to this standard have the letter “T” or “S”molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation.
Example: T145/80D18 103M.
• High flotation tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards and it begins with the tire diameter molded into the sidewall. Example: 31x10.5 R15 LT.
