If a tire size precedes a tire pressure, the tire

pressure information following is only valid

for that tire size. The load conditions "partially

laden" and "fully laden" are defined in the

table for different numbers of passengers and

amounts of luggage. The actual number of

seats may differ.

Example: tire pressure table with tire dimensions

Some tire pressure tables show only the rim

diameters instead of the full tire size, e.g.

R18. The rim diameter is part of the tire size

and can be found on the tire sidewall
