How to Interpret Tire Markings Numbers and letters on the tire can tell you everything: from the date of its production to the speed ratio. By understanding this "language", you can choose the tires that are right for your vehicle. So, the main tire markings are:... Date of manufacture. These four digits indicate the week of the year and the year of production itself. Treadwear rate. Treadwear label with a number next to it can be seen on the tire sidewall. Standard rate is 500 units. Speed ratio. Shows the maximum estimated tire’s speed. This parameter is indicated by letters from J (100 km/h) to Y (300 km/h). The most popular are tires with the letter S which can withstand up to 180 km/h. Load Index It refers to the maximum weight carrying capacity that maintains tire performance and stability of the contact patch geometry. Certification. Tire certification is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the European Union (indicated by the letter E) and the USA (DOT).

"Invisible" Nail in the Tire Once a client contacted us due to the fact that a tire was constantly deflating. Two auto repair shops that she had gone to in the past could not find the reason it kept happening. The tire went down, and why heaven knows! We managed to detect the reason in a non-standard way. We increased tire pressure to maximum and applied soapy water to its surface. And it worked - we discovered our "invisibility" by the bubbles ... It was a nail that entered the tire and made an air leak. The difficulty was that the nail entered along the tire tread and could not be detected easily with a naked eye. As long as the car did not move, everything was fine. But every time when it started, the tire was deflating. We removed the nail and patched the puncture. So, the owner drives a safe car now. And the "invisible" nail was left at Master Auto. #masterauto #autorepair #autorepairtoronto #autorepairNewmarket
