The tread width shall be 5.85 in. (148.6 mm) and thecross-sectional tread radius shall be 15.50 6 2.0 in.
16、 (393.7650.8 mm). The tire shall have a recommended cross-sectionwidth of 8.35 in. (212.1 mm) and a recommended sectionheight of 6.34 in.

The cured crown angles shall be 336 2 for the body plies, and 27 6 2 for the belt plies.6.1.2 RibsThe tire shall have seven plain ribs of 0.66 in.(16.8 mm) width each. Bo
18、th sides of the shoulder ribs shall beparallel from the tread surface down to a depth equal to thewear guideline.6.1.3 GroovesThe tire shall have six straight grooves of0.20 in. (5.08 mm) width each. Each groove shall be parallel tothe radius of the tread-radius arc and shall have a full radius atth
19、e bottom of the groove. Each groove shall have a uniformskid depth of 0.385 in. (9.8 mm) maximum and shall have anunder-tread thickness of 0.10 in. (2.5 mm).6.1.4 Wear IndicatorsThere shall be six rows of treadwear indicators spaced uniformly around the tire circumferenceand directly across the full
20、 tread width in all six grooves. Thesetread wear indicators shall be 0.063 in. (1.6 mm) deep andapproximately 0.50 in. (12.7 mm) long.Avisual wear guidelineshall be located on the shoulder of the tire 0.22 in. (5.6 mm)from the tread surface as shown in Fig. 2.7. Workmanship7.1 Tires shall be free of

22、.6 Tensile StrengthTest Methods D412.8.7 ElongationTest Methods D412.8.8 Tire Tread DurometerTest Method D2240, in additionto the following specific procedures:8.8.1 Use a Type A durometer. (A 0.5-in. (12.7-mm) diam-eter presser foot, Shore, code XAHAF is recommended.)8.8.2 The durometer shall be ca
23、librated at a reading of 60hardness.8.8.3 Condition the tire and durometer to equilibrium at73.4 6 3.6F (23 6 2C) before determining tread hardness.8.8.4 The tire tread hardness is to be determined by aver-aging at least one set of six readings. A set is one reading takenin the center of each rib, e
24、xcluding the center rib. It isrecommended that additional sets of readings be taken aroundthe tread circumference.8.8.5 Apply presser foot to the tire tread as rapidly aspossible without shock, keeping the foot parallel to the treadsurface. Apply just sufficient pressure to obtain firm contactbetwee
25、n presser foot and tire tread surface. Read the durometerscale within 1 s after presser foot is in contact with the tiretread, but after initial maximum transient which may occurimmediately after contact is made.9. Certification9.1 Tires are to be inflated and measured prior to shipment.Upon request
26、, the manufacturer shall furnish the purchasercertification that the test tire meets this specification.9.2 All tires under certification shall be subject to themanufacturers normal variation.10. Packaging and Preservation10.1 The tires should be kept dry under ordinary atmo-spheric conditions in su
27、bdued light, 70 6 25F (21 6 13.8C).Tires should not be stored near electric motors, welders, orother ozone generating equipment.11. Recommendations for Tire Use and OperationalRequirements11.1 The tire is for skid testing only and is not designed forgeneral highway service. Necessary transport of te
28、st equipmentshould be on commercial tires.11.2 A new tire break-in of 200 miles (320 km) minimumshould be made on tires by the purchaser before using the tirefor testing.11.3 The tire shall be operated with not less than 24 psi (165kPa) inflation.11.4 The recommended static test load on the tire sha
29、ll be1085 lbf (4826 N), with loading to a maximum of 1380 lbf(6138 N) permissible, at 24 psi (165 kPa) inflation.11.5 When irregular wear or damage results from tests orwhen the remaining groove depth in any groove is 0.165 in.(4.2 mm) or less, the use of the tire as a standard test tire shallbe dis
