Buick Enclave: Tire Designations
Tire Size
The following is an example of a typical passenger vehicle tire size.
(A) Passenger (P-Metric) Tire:
The United States version of a metric tire sizing system.
The letter P as the first character in the tire size means a passenger vehicle
tire engineered to standards set by the U.S. Tire and Rim Association.
(B) Tire Width: The three-digit number indicates the tire section width in millimeters
from sidewall to sidewall.
(C) Aspect Ratio: A two-digit number that indicates the tire height-to-width
measurements.
For example, if the tire size aspect ratio is 60, as shown in item C of the illustration,
it would mean that the tire's sidewall is 60 percent as high as it is wide.
(D) Construction Code: A letter code is used to indicate the type of ply construction
in the tire. The letter R means radial ply construction; the letter D means diagonal
or bias ply construction; and the letter B means belted-bias ply construction.
(E) Rim Diameter: Diameter of the wheel in inches
(F) Service Description: These characters represent the load index and speed
rating of the tire. The load index represents the load carrying capacity a tire
is certified to carry. The speed rating is the maximum speed a tire is certified
to carry a load.

Air Pressure: The amount of air inside the tire pressing outward on each square
inch of the tire. Air pressure is expressed in kPa (kilopascal) or psi (pounds per
square inch).
Accessory Weight:
Tires need the correct amount of air pressure to operate effectively.
Notice: Neither tire underinflation nor overinflation is good.
Underinflated tires, or tires that do not have enough air, can re
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses radio and sensor technology to check
tire pressure levels. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in your tires and
transmit tire pressure readings
