How to Read Your Tyre Placard Sticker
The placard lists tyre sizes, cold pressures, seating capacity, and sometimes speed ratings. It is the manufacturer’s binding recommendation for that vehicle’s weight distribution.
Where to find it
Driver door jamb, fuel flap, or glovebox on many imports.
Front and rear differences
Performance cars and vans may split pressures — respect both.
Aftermarket wheels
If sizes change, pressures may need pro guidance even if placard is outdated.
