"N..." = Specification characters of the tire, e.g. "N0", "N1" N2", "N3", or "N4". The complete code "N..." of the tires in question must be located on the
tire sidewall near the tire type designation. Only tires of the same make and type, as well as the same speed class ("ZR") and specification code ("N0",
"N1", "N2", "N3" or "N4") may be used.

wear on front and rear axles or when replacing for any other reason, it is recommended to only use these tire types.
