    Tire Safety Information Tire Safety Information Introduction to Tire Safety Information Federal Regulation 49 CFR 575 requires trailer manufacturers to include certain tire information in the owner’s manuals for the trailers they manufacture. This regulation requires that the information be in the English language. This chapter includes all the information required by Federal Regulation 49 CFR 575.
  • Page 92 Tire Safety Information 1. T AFETY NFORMATION This portion of the - Trailer . Section 1.1 contains Tow Vehicle . Section 1.2 contains Section 1.3 contains a Glossary of Tire Terminology -technical terms. Section 1.4 contains information from the NHTSA brochure entitled “Tire Safety – Everything Rides On It”. This brochure This brochure, as well as the preceding subsections, describes the following items;...
  • Page 93 Tire Safety Information Excessive loads and/or underinflation cause tire overloading and, as a result, abnormal tire flexing occurs. This situation can generate an excessive amount of heat within the tire. Excessive heat may lead to tire failure. It is the air pressure that enables a tire to support the load, so proper inflation is critical.
  • Page 94 Tire Safety Information Bead The part of the tire that is made of steel wires, wrapped or reinforced by ply cords and that is shaped to fit the rim. Bead separation This is the breakdown of the bond between components in the bead. Bias ply tire A pneumatic tire in which the ply cords that extend to the beads are laid at alternate angles substantially less than 90 degrees to the centerline of the tread.
  • Page 95 Tire Safety Information Intended outboard sidewall The sidewall that contains a white-wall, bears white lettering or bears manufacturer, brand, and/or model name molding that is higher or deeper than the same molding on the other sidewall of the tire or the outward facing sidewall of an asymmetrical tire that has a particular side that must always face outward when mounted on a vehicle.
  • Page 96 Tire Safety Information A layer of rubber-coated parallel cords. Ply separation A parting of rubber compound between adjacent plies. Pneumatic tire A mechanical device made of rubber, chemicals, fabric and steel or other materials, that, when mounted on an automotive wheel, provides the traction and contains the gas or fluid that sustains the load. Production options weight The combined weight of those installed regular production options weighing over 2.3 kilograms (5 lbs.) in excess of those standard items which they replace, not previously considered in curb weight or accessory...
  • Page 97 Tire Safety Information Tread rib A tread section running circumferentially around a tire. Tread separation Pulling away of the tread from the tire carcass. Treadwear indicators (TWI) The projections within the principal grooves designed to give a visual indication of the degrees of wear of the tread.
  • Page 98 Tire Safety Information Use this information to make tire safety a regular part of your vehicle maintenance routine. Recognize that the time you spend is minimal compared with the inconvenience and safety consequences of a flat tire or other tire failure.
  • Page 99 Tire Safety Information 1.5.4. S TEPS FOR AINTAINING ROPER RESSURE Step 1: Locate the recommended tire pressure on the vehicle's tire information placard, certification label, or in the owner's manual. Step 2: Record the tire pressure of all tires. Step 3: If the tire pressure is too high in any of the tires, slowly release air by gently pressing on the tire valve stem with the edge of your tire gauge until you get to the correct pressure.
  • Page 100 Tire Safety Information 1.5.9.1. Information on Passenger Vehicle Tires Please refer to the diagram below. The "P" indicates the tire is for passenger vehicles. Next number This three-digit number gives the width in millimeters of the tire from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. In general, the larger the number, the wider the tire.
  • Page 101 Tire Safety Information Letter Rating Speed Rating 99 mph 106 mph 112 mph 118 mph 124 mph 130 mph 149 mph 168* mph 186* mph * For tires with a maximum speed capability over 149 mph, tire manufacturers sometimes use the letters ZR. For those with a maximum speed capability over 186 mph, tire manufacturers always use the letters ZR.
  • Page 102 Tire Safety Information Please refer to the following diagram. Tires for light trucks have other markings besides those found on the sidewalls of passenger tires. The "LT" indicates the tire is for light trucks or trailers. An "ST" is an indication the tire is for trailer use only. Max.
