letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding
the size designation. Example: P215/65R15 95H.
• European — Metric tire sizing is based on
European design standards. Tires designed to
this standard have the tire size molded into the

letter "P" is absent from this tire size designa-
tion. Example: 215/65R15 96H.
• LT (Light Truck) — Metric tire sizing is based on
U.S. design standards. The size designation for
LT-Metric tires is the same as for P-Metric tires
except for the letters “LT” that are molded into
the sidewall preceding the size designation.
Example: LT235/85R16.
• Temporary spare tires are designed for tempo-
rar y emergency use only. Temporary high pres-
sure compact spare tires have the letter “T” or
“S” molded into the sidewall preceding the size
designation. Example: T145/80D18 103M.
