What Do the Numbers on Tires Mean?

January 17, 2019

If you take a look at your tire’s sidewall, you’ll likely come across a slew of numbers (and perhaps a few letters) that are seemingly out of order and don’t seem to fit. On first glance, you might think that this is nothing more than an embedded barcode or some sort of identifier to help with the specific tire manufacturer’s quality control. While we don’t put it past you for thinking this, each number (and letter) that appears on the sidewall is an indicator of some piece of key information. On that note, we thought it fitting to debunk this number and tell you exactly what it means.

Wheel Hubs 101: What You Need to Know About This Important Component

Yes, it's hard to imagine a car without wheels. Even though the engine and transmission are critical components to any vehicle's drivetrain, without wheels, a vehicle wouldn't be able to roll from place to place. But in order to have functional, rolling wheels, there first needs to be a viable wheel hub assembly. Without a viable wheel hub assembly, or WHA, the vehicle's wheels won't perform properly, thereby limiting the potential of the vehicle itself.
