IntroductionThis data book contains comprehensive informationon Barum Car and Van Tyres. The technical dataand other details on tyres and accessories havebeen compiled to reflect as exactly and completelyas possible the current state of developmentandarebasedonETRTO 1) , ISO 2) and WdK/DIN 3)standards.Most of the Barum tyres comply with DOT 4)regulations and are marked accordingly.They are homologated in accordance with therelevant ECE 5) regulation and are hence alsohomologated in accordance with current EU 6) tyreregulation.This databook is intended for information andinstruction only. No liability whatsoever will beaccepted for damage, regardless of its nature andits legal basis, arising from advice given in thisbook.Safety hintsTyre safety tipsWe recommend that the inflation pressure ofevery tyre is checked at least every 14 days.Avoid driving over sharp-edged or pointed objects.Lower inflation pressures, greater loads or higherspeeds than specified by the vehicle and/or tyremanufacturer all shorten the service life of tyresand can result in structural damages.We recommend that new tyres are run in atmoderate speeds for the first 120 to 190 miles(200 to 300 km) to roughen the tread surface.The tyre does not achieve its best performanceuntil after this running-in period.We recommend all wheel positions of a passengercar are fitted with tyres of the same tread design.Please observe the detailed operating instructionson page 41 ff.1) ETRTO – The European Tyre and Rim TechnicalOrganisation, Brussels2) ISO – International Organization forStandardization3) DIN – German Institute for Standardization, BerlinWdK – German Rubber Manufacturers’ Association,Frankfurt/M.4) DOT – Department of Transportation (USA)5) ECE – Economic Commission for Europe(UNO-Institution, Geneva)6) EU – European Union, formerly EECSAFETY WARNING!The instructions given inthis databook must be⁄!observed to ensure vehiclesafety at all times.This applies especially withrespect to tyre inflationpressure recommendations.Non-compliance with these instructions meansrisking tyre damage which, if serious enough, mayresult in a tyre bursting.

Units of measurement and definitions of the technical dataThe technical data in the tables comply generallywith international standards.All dimensions in the tables of this databookare given in millimetres (mm), if not indicated ina different way.The rim diameter is given in inch code. Tyre rangeson new rim types may also be marked in mm.Construction measurements are theoretical valuesfor the design of the tyre: The width is relativeto the smooth sidewall, the outer diameter to thetread centre.Maximum measurements are actual operatingmeasurements of the inflated tyre (operatingpressure) in the unloaded state. They include growthbut exclude dynamic distortions.The width is the max. permitted tyre width,including sidewall decorative markings, when thetyre is mounted on the correct rim.The outer diameter is the max. permitted diameter.The max. measurements are binding for vehicledesigners.The static radius is the distance between thewheel centre and the ground contact patch undermax. load at the recommended tyre pressure.The rolling circumference is the distance coveredby a point on the circumference when the tyrerevolves once at 60 km/h (37 mph).The load capacity in kilograms (kg) is weight inthesenseofamass.Tyre pressure (inflation pressure) is given in baras an overpressure (cold tyre), for driving speedsup to 160 km/h (100 mph).Vehicle designers should bear in mind themaximum values for tyre outer diameter and widthwhen planning the wheel space of a vehicle,if all standard approved tyres are to fit without anyrestrictions. Should this by way of exception notbe possible, the safety risk must be eliminated bytaking appropriate measures.Technical Databook Car Tyres 2010· 2011 7

Car rimsThe rim is the part of the wheel which supportsthe tyre.1. Important elements of the rimRim flange = lateral support for the tyre beadFlange distance = clear rim widthBead seat = base on which the tyre bead is seatedWell = inner side of the rimDiameter = specified diameterflange/bead seatHump = continuous raised section of the rimbead seat which enables a better fitting of tubelesstyre beads at low pressure. *)2. Types of rimsThewell-baserimisvirtuallytheonlytypeofrimused on cars, caravans and other car trailers:Well-base rims = one-piece rims, deepened wellforeasiertyrefitting,5h tapered bead seat, “x” inthe wheel size designation.Virtually only J and B versions of the well-baserim are used and these are explained here in moredetail.If rubber valves (snap-in type) are used on rimsfor higher speeds, these must be fitted with valvesupports where necessary. Also refer to thesection “Fitting the tyre”.3. Wheel disc (nave)The wheel disc is the linking element betweenthe rim and the axle hub. Of all the measurementsfor wheel linking elements – centre bore and borediameter, bolt hole type and offset depth –thelatter is a particularly important factor for the freemovement of the tyre in any wheel position.(Offset depth = 0, when the rim centre and hubcontact area of the wheel disc are in line).4. Wheel strengthThe wheel manufacturer must confirm that thewheel strength is adequate for each particularapplication.5. Lateral and true running of the wheels(without tyres)On cars which are virtually all able to considerablyexceed 100 km/h (62 mph), it is particularly importantthat the wheels of the vehicle are well-centred.There should be as little radial and lateral run-outas possible on both bead seat/flange sides of therim, in order to achieve good smooth running.The standard shows max. tolerances of 1.20 mm.This dimension is for the centre of the tyre seatarea or the centre of the flange height.

Operating instructionsSAFETYWARNING!The following instructions mustbe observed to ensure vehiclesafety at all times. Disregardingthe fitting instructions couldendanger the safety of the tyrefitter or driver. This applies inparticular to inflation pressure.Non-compliance with these⁄!instructions means risking tyre damage which,if serious enough, may result in a tyre bursting.It is an hazard like this that can cause trafficaccidents involving vehicle damage and/orserious personal injury.Correct choice of tyre and wheelTyres can be properly maintained only if theyare chosen in accordance with vehicle documentsand recommendations of the tyre manufacturer.The use of higher grade tyres ofthesamesizeis permitted: Higher Speed Index, i.e. “H” insteadof “T”. Greater load capacity, i.e. Load Index 82instead of 80. Both factors may be combined, i.e.greater load and speed.If tyres are changed to a different size, all legalrequirements and regulations, as well as therecommendations of the vehicle, wheel and tyremanufacturers must be complied with. In any event,the freedom of motion of the wheel and adequateload capacity of the tyre must be observed.In some countries, tyre sizes and rims not enteredin the vehicle registration document may only befitted if the vehicle and tyre manufacturer issue acertificate of non-objection or if a public authorityissues fitting approval after an inspection by anofficially authorised expert *) .80 and 82 series passenger car tyres of thesame size can be interchanged without newapproval and without any new entry in the vehicledocuments if LI and SI of the interchanging sizeare of an equivalent or higher-grade quality.Example: 155/80 R13 79 T replaces 155 R13 79 T.Mixed tyre constructions for cars, caravansand other car trailers are not permitted: Tyres fittedon any one vehicle must all be either radial orcross-ply. (Exception: Use of the spare tyre in anemergency).The same applies to the choice of wheels(rims): The standard wheels approved by the vehiclemanufacturer must be used as recommended.The tyre widths given in the tables on pages17–27 and 30–33 refer to the measuring rim (boldprint in the tables). In the event of a change intherimwidthby+ 1 ⁄ 2 inch, the tyre width changesby approx. +5 mm.Winter tyresWinter tyres are clearly superior in the coldmonths of the year; they offer a wider margin ofsafety and better economy when the temperaturedrops below 7 h C.Winter tyres approved for a max. speed lower thanthat of the vehicle may only be fitted if the max.speed of these tyres is displayed in full view of thedriver, e.g. on a clearly visible sticker on the dashboard*) . This maximum tyre speed must not beexceeded.A combination of summer and winter tyres onpassenger cars is not recommended. In mostEuropean countries either summer or winter (M+S)tyres are specified for any one axle; in somecountries **) this applies to all four wheel positions.Winter tyres have to meet special requirements,meaning that the legal minimum tread depthof 1.6 mm is inadequate. The suitability limit forwinter use is a tread depth of 4 mm. In the interestof safety, Barum recommends replacing wintertyres before the tread depth drops below 4 mm forwinter service. Such tyres can still be used insummer.Top safety in winter can be provided only by truewinter tyres on all axle positions (4 tyres).Snowflake designation (in USA and Canada):This additional marking on an M+S tyreshows that the tyre meets prescribed test criteriaand ensures good winter properties.*)This does not apply to the UK.**)Exception: In Austria, passenger car winter tyres withless than 4 mm remaining tread depth are no longer legallyconsidered to be winter tyres.Technical Databook Car Tyres 2010· 2011 41

Operating instructionsFitting the tyreSAFETYWARNING!⁄!If a tyre is not properly fittedit may burst. The energyreleased in a blow-out can causefatal injuries so tyres must befitted by an expert.Only approved fitting tools andlubricants may be used. Observeall fitting instructions.Before the old tyre is taken off the valve insertmust be unscrewed and removed to ensure all airhas escaped.The new tyre and rim must have matchingdiameters and be approved as a combinationsuitable for the vehicle model concerned. Only rimsof the correct size in perfect condition and freeof rust should be used. They must not be damaged,out of shape or worn.When fitting new tube-type tyres, always use newtubes. Astubesstretchinservice,thereisariskoffolds forming in old tubes, so re-used tubes couldsuddenly tear.For safety reasons, tubeless tyres should alwaysbe fitted with a new valve.If rubber valves (snap-in types) are used fortubeless tyres, the vehicle manufacturer’s instructionsmust be complied with in all cases.A valve support (i.e. a stopper on the rim itself orthe hubcap) should be fitted, if H, V, W, Y or ZRtyres are specified for the vehicle. This ensuresthat valves are not forced off at high speeds.Always coat the tyre beads and the rim with afitting lubricant recommended by the tyre manufacturer.Never use greases or other hydrocarbonsfor this purpose.While the tyre is being inflated, the wheel mustremain firmly secured on the mounting machine.Never inflate an unsecured tyre. Ifaloosetyrebursts, the wheel could be thrown around, causingdamage.Keep a reasonable distance from any tyre that isbeing inflated. Make use of a sufficiently long andsecured extension hose with an integratedpressure gauge. Never bend over a tyre while itis being inflated!When fitting tubeless car tyres, care should betaken to ensure that the tyre beads comingfrom the well-base first clear the hump in the rimshoulder. To avoid cracks in the bead core, the“pop” pressure necessary should not exceed3.3 bar. If the tyre does not pop into place evenat this pressure, the pressure must be lowered,and the cause identified and eliminated.Then the procedure can be repeated.Only when the tyre beads are seated correctly onthe rim shoulder may the pressure be increasedto achieve the required press-fit and firm grip onthe rim flanges. However, this “fitting pressure”should not exceed the max. pressure given in thetables by more than 50 % or be more than 4.0 bar.After this, adjust the pressure to the operatingpressure specified by the vehicle manufacturer.Car tyres should be dynamically balanced toachieve smooth running.Fitting the wheel to the vehicleVehicle axle data such as toe-in, camber angleand wheel castor as well as axle alignment must bechecked and, if necessary, be adjusted to withintolerances. Only then should new tyres be fitted.When fitting a tyre, make sure that the wheel iscentred on the axle hub. If necessary, re-balance thewheel electronically once it is fitted on the vehicle.Valves should be fitted with valve caps –preferablywith a sealing ring – as they protect the delicatevalve inserts and the inside of the tyre.When mounting wheel caps and wheel trim rings,sufficient clearance to the tyre sidewall must bemaintained. The wheel cap or wheel trim ring maynot come in contact with the tyre under any operatingconditions (e.g. brutal braking maneuvers, fastcornering). The diameter of the wheel cap andthe wheel trim ring may not extend beyond the rimflange edge. This applies in particular to tyres withrim protection (flange rib).42 Technical Databook Car Tyres 2010 · 2011

This variesdepending on the load and service conditions.The pressure always refers to the cold tyre andmust not be allowed to fall below this value.The pressure inside warm tyres – driving causesheat build-up – is naturally higher. So never reducethe pressure of warm tyres. Once they cool down,their pressure could fall below the specifiedminimum tyre pressure.Tyre pressure must be checked and adjustedregularly every 14 days on the cold tyre. Don’tforget the spare!Incorrect tyre pressure causes premature and/oruneven tread wear. Under-inflated tyres have ahigher rolling resistance, and this means a higherfuel consumption.The tyre pressure values for car tyres given intable 1 and 2 are minimum pressures for speeds upto160km/h(100mph).Theymaybeincreased,for example, for reasons of driving stability.3.2 bar is the maximum tyre pressure on standardversion car tyres up to and including Speed Index T;3.5 bar for H-, V-, W-, Y- and ZR-, as well as M + Sand XL/Reinforced tyres.These values may not be exceeded to ensure thatthe structural performance of the tyres and rims isnot impaired.ZR tyres without operational code have from160km/h(100mph)to190km/h(118mph)inclusive the stated pressure of 2.5 bar. Then theinflation pressure must be increased by 0.1 barfor each 10 km/h (6 mph) up to 3.0 bar at240 km/h (150 mph) under full load and maximum2 h wheel camber.44 Technical Databook Car Tyres 2010 · 2011

In the absence of such information,the following ETRTO recommendation can beused for tyres at speeds over 160 km/h (100 mph):f=1For a wheel camber exceeding 2h and up toand including 4h, the load capacity is to be reducedlinearly from 100% to 90%.Instead of a reduction in tyre load capacity, inflationpressure may be increased as a function of load.Thetyrepressurecalculatedforthespeedconcerned must be multiplied by the followingcorrection factor (f), irrespective of the actualcamber angle > 2h:1.0–0.01x (allowance for the load capacity as a %) 1.25The value of f for the following camber angles is shown below:Camber angle 2h 2.5h 3h 3.5h 4hf 1.0 1.03 1.07 1.10 1.1446 Technical Databook Car Tyres 2010 · 2011

Operating instructionsIn general, the camber angle of vehicles shouldnot exceed 4h.The load capacity of tyres in twin fitment is1.85 times the load capacity of a single tyre.On vehicles with speeds in excess of 270 km/h (169mph), the camber angle should not exceed3h including any tolerance.The load capacities in the tables for car tyres can be increased if the tyres are fitted on vehicleswith the following low type-related max. speeds if the inflation pressure is increased at the same time(taken from the ETRTO Standards Manual).Max. speed capability (km/h) 60 50 40 30 25Load capacity (%) 110 115 125 135 142Inflation pressure increase (bar) 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5Tyre damageMost tyre damage is caused by incorrect tyrepressure, so we recommend a regular tyre pressurecheck every 2 weeks. When the car has been drivenand the tyres are warm, it is normal for the tyrepressure to increase. Do not reduce extra pressurecaused by a heat build-up.A balanced, even style of driving is beneficial forthe tyres and the environment. Harsh acceleration,braking with locked wheels and fast steering movementsshorten the service life of tyres.This applies equally to other types of tyre strainsuch as severe scuffing along the kerb, or drivingover rough surfaces. This can cause hidden orvisible damage to tyres.Sudden vibrations of the steering wheel couldpoint to tyre damage. All the vehicle’s tyres shouldbe checked immediately for damage.Overstressing of tyres (excessive speed or overloading),is to be avoided. This has the same criticaleffect as under-inflation and can cause heatdamage to the tyre.Tyre Rotation on a vehicleThe tyres on a vehicle should be rotated regularlyto help ensure even wear and maximum tread life.Tyres should be rotated as instructed in the vehicleowner’s manual, with special attention being givento the recommended interval for rotating tyres.Unless otherwise specified by the vehicle manufacturer,tyres should be rotated every 10,000 to12,000 kilometers – or even earlier if the treadshows signs of uneven wear. In the latter case, thevehicle’s wheel alignment and pertinent mechanicalcomponents should be checked and corrected, ifneed be.Full-size spare tyres (not temporary spares) of thesamesizeanddesignasthetyresinuseonthevehicle should be included in the tyre rotation. Inconjunction with the rotation, the full-size sparetyre’s inflation pressure should be checked and, ifneed be, corrected.A tyre’s inflation pressure must correspond to whatis specified in the vehicle owner’s manual for therespective tyre position (recommended inflationpressure may differ for the front- and rear-axletyres).Technical Databook Car Tyres 2010· 2011 47

Operating instructionsTyre rotation may effect the tyre pressure monitoringsystem (TPMS). The vehicle owner’s manual ora qualified service professional should be consultedin the event that the TPMS has to be adjusted orrecalibrated.The rolling direction of directional tyres should notbe reversed when the tyres are rotated.Mixing tyres should be avoidedTyre size, Load Index (LI) and Speed Index (SI) at allwheel positions should be in accordance with thevehicle manufacturer’s specification. In many countries,this is a legal requirement.Driving with a non-recommended mix of tyre sizes,designs and Speed Indices can be dangerous. In theevent that tyres of different sizes, designs, Load orSpeed Index are to be fitted on a vehicle, the vehiclemanufacturer’s recommendations should be heededand /or the advice of a qualified tyre specialistsought. Some vehicles leave the factory with differenttyre sizes on the front and rear axles. Thisconfiguration must not be changed unless approvedby the vehicle manufacturer.No more than one temporary spare should be usedon a vehicle at any one time. A tyre of this kindshould only be used at a certain speed and for acertain distance, as indicated on the tyre sidewalland /or on a label attached to the tyre or the wheel.Mounting new tyres on the rear axleItisrecommendedthatalltyresusedonthevehiclebe replaced at the same time. If this is not the case,at least all the tyres on the same axle should bereplaced at the same time.If only one axle set of tyres is replaced, it is recommendedto fit the newest tyres on the rear axle. Thismay complicate tyre rotation and caution is advisedif the tyres differ in terms of state of wear, size,design and Speed Index, for example. In this case itis strongly recommended that a trained tyre specialistbe consulted.The point of the above mounting recommendationis to increase traction on the rear axle. This isimportant in avoiding oversteer and loss of vehiclestability on slippery surfaces.Additional important tips regarding tyre positionThe spare tyre’s date of manufacture and condition(e.g. signs of cracking, remaining tread depth)should be checked regularly. The spare tyre mayhave to be replaced.For 4-wheel drive and All Wheel drive vehicles, anyspecial tyre fitment requirements in the vehicleowner’s manual should be heeded – especially if thevehicle is equipped with electronic systems such asantilock brakes, traction control or stability control.Damage to the vehicle or its transmission canresult if these requirements are not followed.Winter tyres should be fitted to all wheel positions.They should not be mixed with all-season or summertyres. If winter tyres are, nonetheless, mountedon just one axle, this should be the rear axle. Thisincreases rear-axle traction and helps to avoid oversteerand loss of vehicle stability on slippery roads.Tyre Storage RecommendationsThese recommendations are intended for consumers,but they are also important for tyre dealers.For commercial applications of new and waste tyres(tyre dealers and fleets), there may be morestringent and legal restrictions. Please check localregulations.Tyres are compounded to resist normal deteriorationcaused e.g. by sunlight, humidity and ozone.Nevertheless, stored tyres should be protectedagainst these and other potentially damaging conditions.48 Technical Databook Car Tyres 2010 · 2011

Operating instructionsThe longer the storage period, the more exposurethere is to potential damage.After dismounting from a vehicle the tyres shouldbe thoroughly cleaned and inspected for damage.Remove all stones and debris from the grooves.Chalk marking the tyres with their wheel positions(FL for Front Left, RR for Rear Right, etc.) will helpto find the correct positions according the rotationalplan.General:c DO STORE TYRES where it is clean, dark,dry and moderately ventilated.c Moist conditions should be avoided.Tyres destined for retreading/repairing shouldbe thoroughly cleaned and dried out before suchoperations are performed.c DO STORE TYRES at temperatures not exceeding35h C (95F), preferable below 25h C(77F).Direct contact with hot pipes and radiators mustbe avoided.c Also deeply cold temperatures, those well belowthe freezing point, might lead to brittleness andtyres should be carefully warmed up before use.c DO STORE TYRES, if outdoors, protected by anopaque waterproof covering, but avoid creating aheat box or steam bath. Ensure proper ventilation.c DO STORE TYRES, if outdoors, where tyres areraised off the storage surface.c AVOID STORING TYRES on piers, ship decks, orother unprotected areasc AVOID STORING TYRES, where they can be damagedby passing objects – lawn mower, bicycle,or garden tools.c AVOID STORING TYRES where the area is wet,oily, and/or greasy such as with gasoline orpetroleum-based products.

Besure to return the inflation pressure to recommendedusage pressure before operating thevehicle.In cases where the tyres will be supporting thevehicle, it is recommended that the vehicle bemoved every month to minimize ozone crackingin the bulge area and also to minimize a “flatspot” from developing. If the tyres do develop“flat spots,” this will usually disappear in a shortperiod of service.Before Returning Tyres(including full-size spares) to Servicec Inspect tyres to be sure they are clean and freefrom foreign objects.c Remove any water that has collected in anunmounted tyre.cWhen using a spare tyre, have it checked forproper inflation pressure and condition such ascracking in the tread or sidewalls, weatherchecking, and other signs of prolonged storageby a full-service tyre dealer, before placing it inservice on the vehicle.Full-Size Spare TyresFull-sizespares,ofthesamesizeandtypeastheroad tyre, require special maintenance considerations.The spare tyre position on the vehicle is frequentlynot suitable for long term storage for full-size sparetyres that are not properly maintained /rotated asrecommended. Tyres contain special ingredientssuch as waxes, etc. to protect the rubber. Thesespecial tyre ingredients normally migrate throughoutthe tyre when in service and protect the tyreagainst deterioration caused e.g. by sunlight, humidityand ozone.Therefore, full-size spares that are left for prolongedperiods of time in the spare tyre positionshould be inspected, properly inflated just like roadtyres, and included in the regular tyre rotation.50 Technical Databook Car Tyres 2010 · 2011

Operating instructionsTyre repair⁄!SAFETY WARNING!Serious injury or death mayresult from a tyre disablementthat is caused by failing toobserve the following safety andmaintenance information.During its service life, a tyre undergoes a varietyof different usage conditions and can be damagedin many different ways. This damage can resultfrom punctures, impacts, cuts, etc. Tyre damage canreduce a tyre’s structural integrity by, for example:ccccAir loss resulting in underinflated serviceconditions which lead to internal structuraldamage;Direct damage to tyre components such asrubber and plies;Exposure of internal materials to the outsideenvironment and resulting degradation; and/orExposure of internal materials to pressurizedair (Intra-carcass pressurization).For these reasons, tyres should be regularlyinspected by the consumer. An inspection of thetyres should also be incorporated during routinevehicle maintenance procedures. If tyre damage issuspected or found, it should be carefully assessedby a trained specialist immediately.A consumer should never repair a damaged tyre.Only a trained tyre specialist who can base hisassessment on a thorough and comprehensiveinspection of the specific tyre can determinewhether an individual tyre is suitable for repair orshould be removed from service. This assessmentshould also take into account the complete servicelife history of the tyre including inflation, load,operating conditions, etc. If the tyre specialistdecides to repair the tyre, then he should strictlyfollow all appropriate national tyre industry repairstandards regarding the inspection process andrepair procedures. Barum is not responsible for thespecialist’s decisions or the repaired tyre. Barumadvises if a tyre is returned under complaint andreason for the product’s disablement is in any wayassociated with a repair or the reason for repair themanufacturer’s warranty is invalidated.It is forbidden by law to regroove car tyres.Tyre service life for passenger carand light truckThe tyre industry has long recognized the consumers’role in the regular care and maintenanceof their tyres. The point at which a tyre is replacedis a decision for which the owner of the tyre isresponsible. The tyre owner should consider factorsto include service conditions, maintenance history,storage conditions, visual inspections, and dynamicperformance. The consumer should consult a tyreservice professional with any questions about tyreservice life.The following information and recommendationsare made to aid in assessing the point of maximumservice life.Tyres are designed and built to provide manythousands of miles of excellent service. For maximumbenefit, tyres must be maintained properly toavoid tyre damage and abuse that may result intyre disablement. The service life of a tyre is acumulative function of the storage, stowing, rotationand service conditions, which a tyre is subjected tothroughout its life (load, speed, inflation pressure,road hazard injury, etc.). Since service conditionsvary widely, accurately predicting the service life ofany specific tyre in chronological time is notpossible.The consumer plays an important role in tyremaintenance.Tyres should be removed from service fornumerous reasons, including tread worn down tominimum depth, damage or abuse (punctures, cuts,impacts, cracks, bulges, underinflation, overloading,etc). For these reasons tyres, including spares,must be inspected routinely, i.e., at least once aTechnical Databook Car Tyres 2010· 2011 51

Operating instructionsmonth. Regular inspection becomes particularlyimportant the longer a tyre is kept in service. If tyredamage is suspected or found, Barum recommendsthat the consumer have the tyre inspected by a tyreservice professional. Consumers should use thisconsultation to determine if the tyres can continuein service. It is recommended that spare tyres beinspected at the same time. This routine inspectionshould occur whether or not the vehicle is equippedwith a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).Consumers are strongly encouraged to be awareof their tyres’ visual condition. Also, they shouldbe alert for any change in dynamic performancesuch as increased air loss, noise or vibration.Such changes could be an indicator that one ormore of the tyres should be immediately removedfrom service to prevent a tyre disablement.Also, the consumer should be the first to recognizea severe in-service impact to a tyre and to ensurethat the tyre is inspected immediately thereafter.Tyre storage, stowage and rotation are also importantto the service life of the tyre. More informationregarding proper storage, stowage and rotation islocated in other Barum publications, which areavailable upon request and through its websites.Tyre service life recommendationBarum is unaware of any technical data that supportsa specific tyre age for removal from service.However, as with other members of the tyre andautomotive industries, Barum recommends thatall tyres (including spare tyres) that were manufacturedmore than ten (10) years previous 1) bereplaced with new tyres, even when tyres appear tobe usable from their external appearance and if thetread depth may have not reached the minimumwear out depth. Vehicle manufacturers may recommenda different chronological age at which a tyreshould be replaced based on their understanding ofthe specific vehicle application; Barum recommendsthat any such instruction be followed. Consumersshould note that most tyres would have to beremoved for tread wear-out or other causes beforeany proscribed removal period. A stated removalperiod in no way reduces the consumer’s responsibilityto replace tyres as needed.Minimum removal tread depth forpassenger and light truck tyres1.6 mm is the most widely accepted minimum treaddepth standard at which tyres should be removedfrom service. This standard has been adopted asa regulation by many of the world’s national transportationauthorities. As an indication to the consumer,there are tread wear indicator bars in themain grooves of the tyre that become level with thetread surface at approximately 1.6 mm of remainingtread.In addition to acknowledging the above,Barum recommends that all passenger and lighttruck tyres in highway motor vehicle applicationbe removed from service at the following treaddepths:ccsummer/high performance tyres=3 mmwinter tyres=4 mmThese recommendations are based upon Barum’stesting as well as real world experience whichshows that drivers can maintain the performancepotential (e.g. wet grip) of their tyres by replacingthem before they reach the regulatory minimumtread depth of 1.6 mm.This applies especially to winter tyres for whichwinter driving properties such as snow traction aresignificantly reduced at tread depths below 4 mm.1)Production code of tyres seepage5.52 Technical Databook Car Tyres 2010 · 2011

Guidelines on tyre safety for drivers and vehicleoperators (recommended for vehicle handbooks).Tyres need to be properly handled if they are tokeep you and other road users safe. So pleasenote the following:1. The tyre pressure must be as indicated in theoperating instructions for your vehicle or asmarked on the vehicle itself. The pressureapplies to cold tyres; it must not be any lower.Tyres that have become warm, e.g. throughdriving, will increase in pressure. Never releaseair from warm tyres, or the pressure could fallbelow the minimum.Thepressuremustbecheckedevery 14 dayswhen the tyres are cold. Don’t forget to checkthe spare.If the pressure is too low, heat may build upin the tyre and lead to internal damage. At highspeeds the tread may even come off andthetyremayhaveablowout.Tyre damage thatcannot be seen is not put right simply byraising the pressure afterwards!2. Drive over kerbstones slowly and, if possible,at right angles. Don’t drive up or against anysteep or sharp-edged kerbstones or otherobjects (e.g. stones); this can lead to nonvisibletyre damage which can cause problemslater – the tyre may fail when running athigh speeds.3. Check tyres regularly for damage, such asstones, nails etc. that have penetrated the tyre,as well as any cuts, tears or bulges (in thesidewall). Foreign objects can also damage theinside of the tyre. Let your tyre dealer or specialistcheck to see if the tyre can be repaired.If a repair is not possible or doubtful, replacethe tyre. Damaged tyres can burst.4. Never fit used tyres whose ’life story’ youdon’t know. And remember that tyres age evenwhen they are little used or not used at all.If your spare tyre remains unused for years,you should only use it in emergencies anddrive carefully.5. Check the tread depth of your tyres regularly.The lower the depth, the greater the risk ofaquaplaning. Ensure that your tyres complywith the legally required tread depth.Technical Databook Car Tyres 2010· 2011 53
