It is split first by the type of vehicle or machine, such as cars, buses and trucks, aircraft, motorcycles, bicycles, agricultural or forestry equipment, construction or industrial handling equipment, and other uses. Later levels use construction, on-highway or off-highway use, rim diameter or rim size, and tread type.

How to choose the right subheading

Identify the vehicle or machine type first: car, bus or truck, aircraft, motorcycle, bicycle, agricultural or forestry, construction or industrial handling, or other.
For car tires, check whether the tire is radial and measure the rim diameter in cm because each radial rim band has its own line.
For bus and truck tires, decide radial versus other and on-highway versus off-highway; off-highway lines also depend on a rim diameter of 40.6 cm or more.
For agricultural or forestry tires and some other tires, check for a herring-bone or similar tread.
For construction, mining or industrial handling tires, decide herring-bone versus other, radial versus other, and whether rim size exceeds 61 cm.
