35 GENERAL FORMATION Tube-Type Considerations: - more easily repairable - standardization with existing tube-type wheels in fleet taken into account when converting to low profiles. TIRE CONSTRUCTION The original purpose for introduction of the low profile tires was to minimize irregular wear. Shown below are some other considerations of low profile tires. Aspect Ratio (Low Profile) Considerations: - improved treadwear (less irregular wear) on steer and trail axles - lighter weight - potential fuel economy improvement - better cube potential due to smaller tire diameter on new equipment - improved stability from higher lateral spring rate - more susceptible to sidewall damage As mentioned earlier, there are drive train/ gearing considerations which must be made at the original equipment or replacement level when utilizing low profile tires. These involve the engine RPM, transmission, drive axle gear ratio and tire RPM. The objective is to obtain the most fuel efficient engine RPM/ground speed relationship consistent with service condition requirements. The effect on road speed at the same engine RPM, using a 55 mph base, depends upon which conventional sizes and which low profile diameters are involved

36 GENERAL FORMATION LOW ASPECT RATIO TIRES 24.5 CH HIGHWAY SIZE (USG TYPICAL DESIGN DIMENSIONS) MATCH TIRE FOR SPEED AND AXLE WEIGHTS In a tire selection process, it is mandatory that consideration be given to selecting a tire size and load range which at least equals the maximum load requirements by axle position (steer, drive or trail). All highway truck tires have load limits established for tires used in normal highway service. Therefore, when selecting a tire for service, both the carrying capacity and speed implications must be considered.

SERIOUS JURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT FROM: EXPLOSION OF TIRE RIM ASSEMBLY DUE TO IMPROPER MOUNTG - USE SAFETY CAGE & CLIP-ON EXTENSION AIR HOSE. ONLY SPECIALLY TRAED PERSONS SHOULD MOUNT TIRES.! WARNG and wheel servicing can be dangerous, and should be done by trained personnel using proper tools and procedures. Follow the procedures and safety precautions in the RMA s Demounting and Mounting Procedures for Trucks / Bus s and Inspection procedures for identification of potential zipper ruptures in steel cord radial medium and light truck tires charts and service bulletins. Failure to comply with these procedures may result in faulty positioning of the tire and/or rim parts, and cause the assembly to burst with explosive force, sufficient to cause serious physical injury or death. Never mount or use damaged tires or rims. MISAPPLICATION/IMPROPER FLATION/OVERLOADG SAFETY WARNGS There is a danger of serious injury or death if a tire of one bead diameter is installed on a rim or wheel of a different rim diameter. Re-assembly and inflation of mismatched parts can result in serious injury or death. Just because parts come in together does not mean they belong together. Check for proper matching of all rim parts before putting any parts together.! WARNG Rims of different diameters and tapers cannot be interchanged. The following diagram illustrates the difference between rims of two different tapers and diameters. Always replace a tire with another tire of exactly the same bead diameter designation and suffix letters. For example: A 16" tire goes on a 16" rim. Never mount a 16" tire on a 16.1" or 16.5" rim. A 16.1" tire goes on a 16.1" rim. Never mount a 16.1" tire on a 16" or 16.5" rim. A 16.5" tire goes on 16.5" rim. Never mount a 16.5" tire on a 16" or 16.1" rim. While it is possible to pass a 16" diameter tire over the lip or flange of a 16.1" or 16.5" size diameter rim, it cannot be inflated enough to position itself against the rim flange. If an attempt is made to seat the tire bead by inflating, the tire bead will break with explosive force and could cause serious injury or death. 16" RIM DIAMETER 16.5" RIM DIAMETER The following diagram shows how beads of a 16" tire will not seat on a 16.5" rim. The beads cannot be forced out against the rim flanges by using more air pressure because this will break the beads and the tire will explode with force sufficient to cause serious injury or death. RIM FLANGE 16 TIRE BEAD 16.5" RIM Never assemble a tire and rim unless you have positively identified and correctly matched the parts

41 CT_2010_DataGuide_Text_Final:088214_Text 1/25/10 4:24 PM Page 53 GENERAL FORMATION! WARNG NEVER inflate beyond 40 pounds pressure to seat beads. NEVER stand, lean or reach over the assembly during inflation. Inspect both sides of the tire to be sure that the beads are evenly seated. If tire is mounted on a machine that does not have a positive lock-down device to hold the wheel, inflation should be done on a safety cage. If both beads are not properly seated when pressure reaches 40 pounds, completely deflate the assembly, reposition the tire and/or tube on the rim, relubricate and reinflate. Inflating beyond 40 pounds air pressure when trying to seat the beads is a DANGEROUS PRACTICE that may break a tire bead (or even the rim) with explosive force, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. After the beads are fully seated, pressure may be increased above 40 psi to operating pressures, not to exceed the maximum labeled on the tire sidewall.! WARNG manent tire damage due to underinflation and/or overloading cannot always be detected. Any tire known or suspected to have been run at 80% or less of normal operating inflation pressure and/or overloaded, could possibly have permanent structural damage (steel cord fatigue). Ply cords weakened by underinflation and/or overloading may break one after another, until a rupture occurs in the upper sidewall with accompanying instantaneous air loss and explosive force. This can result in serious injury or death. Any tire suspected of having been operated underinflated and/or overloaded must be approached with caution. Completely deflate the tire by removing the valve core before removing the tire/rim/wheel assembly from the vehicle. After removing from the vehicle, clearly identify the tire so it will not be reinflated until carefully inspected by a trained technician to determine the cause of underinflation, as well as any tire damage resulting from underinflation and/or overloading.! WARNG The use of any flammable material during tire servicing is absolutely prohibited. Use of starting fluid ether, gasoline, or any other flammable material to lubricate, seal or seat the beads of a tubeless tire can cause the tire to explode or can cause the explosive separation of the tire/rim assembly resulting in serious injury or death. This practice may also result in undetected damage to the tire or rim that could result in failure of the tire in service

42 G E N E R A L I N F O R M A TI O N SAFETY WARNG! The air pressure contained in a tire is dangerous. The sudden release of this pressure by a tire blow-out or side ring separation can cause serious injury or death. Stay out of the trajectory as indicated by shaded area. When installing the tire/rim assembly on the vehicle, it will be impossible to stay out of the trajectory; however, at all other times you and all others must stay out of the trajectory.! WARNG explosions can cause death or personal injury or property damage. Excessive speed in a free-running, unloaded tire can cause it to explode from extreme centrifugal force.! WARNG When mounting dual disc wheels on a vehicle, be sure to carefully check and retighten or retorque inner cap nuts before mounting the outer wheel. In demounting the outer wheel, there is a possibility that the inner cap nuts may have been loosened accidentally. NEVER rework, weld, heat, or braze the tire/wheel/rim. Heating the rim of tire/wheel/rim assembly can cause a tire to explode, causing serious injury or death. NEVER hammer, strike or pry on any type of tire/rim assembly while the tire contains inflation pressure. Do not attempt to seat any part while the tire contains any inflation pressure. This could result in serious injury or death. G. Regrooving Continental, General, Ameri*Steel, and Euzkadi brand truck tires that have REGROOVABLE molded on the sidewall may be regrooved. After regrooving, it is required that 3/32 of under tread remains to cover the top ply. It is the responsibility of the regroover to assure that all Federal Regulations are met. For further clarification, see Code of Federal Regulations: Title 49, Transportation; Parts 569 and
