This group of codes and numbers is collectively known as the “tyre markings” and permits a precise identification of the tyre. The picture below gives an example of the tyre markings as they appear on a tyre.

RECOMMENDATION TO ENSURE THE TOP PERFORMANCE OF YOUR WESTLAKE TYRES

INFLATION PRESSURE

Truck tyres for commercial vehicles must be properly inflated to a pressure based on the load, speed and conditions of use for maximum performance in all aspects such as even wear (long mileage), traction and handling stability (riding comfort) in addition to safety issues*.

Tyre pressures should be checked on cold tyres at every two weeks, using a calibrated pressure gauge. Tyres with lower profiles must be checked strictly due to their less visible sidewall deflection.

WESTLAKE provides inflation pressure stickers (shownas the right) with several different values for certaina pplications to help customers maintain proper pressures. Please contact your WESTLAKE distributor for details
