Units of measurement and definitions of the technical dataThe technical data in the tables complygenerally with 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 ranges on new rim types may also bemarked in mm.Construction measurements aretheoretical values for the design of the tyre:The width is relative to the smooth sidewall,the outer diameter to the tread centre.Maximum measurements are actualoperating measurements of the inflatedtyre (operating pressure) in the u<strong>nl</strong>oaded state.They include growth but exclude dynamicdistortions.The width is the max. permitted tyre width,including sidewall decorative markings,when the tyre is mounted on the correct rim.The outer diameter is the max. permitteddiameter. The max. measurements are bindingfor vehicle designers.The static radius is the distance betweenthe wheel centre and the ground contact patchunder max. load at the recommended tyrepressure.The rolling circumference is the distancecovered by a point on the circumference whenthe tyre revolves once at 60 km/h (37 mph).The load capacity in kilograms (kg) is weightin the sense of a mass.Tyre pressure (inflation pressure) isgiven in bar as an overpressure (cold tyre), fordriving speeds up to 160 km/h (100 mph).Vehicle designers should bear in mind themaximum values for tyre outer diameterand width when planning the wheel space ofa vehicle, if all standard approved tyres areto fit without any restrictions.Should this by way of exception not be possible,the safety risk must be eliminated by takingappropriate measures.<strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Data</strong>book Car Tyres 2007 · 2008 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 beadis seatedWell = inner side of the rimDiameter = specified diameterflange /bead seatHump = continuous raised section of therim bead seat which enables a better fittingof tubeless tyre beads at low pressure. *)2. Types of rimsThe well-base rim is virtually the o<strong>nl</strong>ytype of rim used on cars, caravans andother car trailers:Well-base rims = one-piece rims,deepened well for easier tyre fitting,5 Ω tapered bead seat, “x” in thewheel size designation.Virtually o<strong>nl</strong>y J and B versions of the well-baserim are used and these are explained here inmore detail.If rubber valves (snap-in type) are usedon rims for higher speeds, these must befitted with valve supports where necessary.Also refer to the section “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 boreand bore diameter, bolt hole type and offsetdepth – the latter is a particularly importantfactor for the free movement of the tyre in anywheel position.(Offset depth = 0, when the rim centre andhub contact 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 isparticularly important that the wheels of thevehicle are well-centred.There should be as little radial and lateral runoutas possible on both bead seat/flange sidesof the rim, in order to achieve good smoothrunning.The standard shows max. tolerances of1.20 mm. This dimension is for the centre of thetyre seat area or the centre of the flangeheight. All measurements, particularly the uniformity,should be well within these tolerances.*)Safety shoulders (e.g. hump) are prescribed for tubelessradial car tyres. They should also be used for tubeless truck Ctyres with a 14, 15 or 16 code for the rim diameter.42 <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Data</strong>book Car Tyres 2007 · 2008

In anyevent, the freedom of motion of the wheel andadequate load capacity of the tyre must beobserved.Tyre sizes and rims not entered in the vehicleregistration document may o<strong>nl</strong>y be fittedif the vehicle and tyre manufacturer issue acertificate of non-objection or if a publicauthority issues fitting approval after aninspection by an officially authorised expert **) .80 and 82 series passenger car tyresof the same size can be interchanged withoutnew approval and without any new entry inthe vehicle documents if LI and SI of theinterchanging size are of an equivalent orhigher-grade quality. Example:155/80 R 13 79T replaces 155 R13 79T.Mixed tyre constructions for cars, caravansand other car trailers are not permitted: Tyresfitted on any one vehicle must all be eitherradial or cross-ply. (Exception: Use of the sparetyre in an emergency).The same applies to the choice of wheels(rims): The standard wheels approved by thevehicle manufacturer must be used asrecommended.The tyre widths given in the tables on pages15–28 and 32–37 refer to the measuringrim (bold print in the tables). In the event of achange in the rim width by + 1 ⁄ 2 inch, the tyrewidth changes by approx. +5 mm.Winter tyresWinter tyres are clearly superior in thecold months of the year; they offer a widermargin of safety and better economy whenthe temperature drops below 7Ω C.Winter tyres approved for a max. speed lowerthan that of the vehicle may o<strong>nl</strong>y be fitted ifthe max. speed of these tyres is displayed infull view of the driver, e. g. on a clearly visiblesticker on the dashboard **) .This maximum tyre speed must not be exceeded.A combination of summer and winter tyres onpassenger cars is not recommended.

Please observe all fittinginstructions.Before the old tyre is taken off the valve insertmust be unscrewed and removed to ensure allair has escaped.The new tyre and rim must have matchingdiameters and be approved as a combinationsuitable for the vehicle model concerned.O<strong>nl</strong>y rims of the correct size in perfect conditionand free of rust should be used.They must not be damaged, out of shape orworn.When fitting new tube-type tyres, always usenew tubes. As tubes stretch in service, there isa risk of folds forming in old tubes, so re-usedtubes could sudde<strong>nl</strong>y tear.For safety reasons, tubeless tyres shouldalways be fitted with new valves.If rubber valves (snap-in types) are used fortubeless tyres, the vehicle manufacturer’sinstructions must be complied with in all cases.A valve support (i.e. a stopper on the rimitself or the hubcap) should be fitted, if H, V, W,Y or ZR tyres are specified for the vehicle. Thisensures that valves are not forced off at highspeeds.Always coat the tyre beads and the rim witha fitting lubricant recommended by thetyre manufacturer. This applies in particular tolow section tyres. Never use greases or otherhydrocarbons for this purpose.While the tyre is being inflated, the wheel mustremain firmly secured on the mounting machine.Never inflate an unsecured tyre. If a loosetyre bursts, the wheel could be thrown around,causing damage.Keep a reasonable distance from any tyrethat is being inflated. Make use of a sufficientlylong and secured extension hose with an integratedpressure gauge. Never bend over atyre while it is being inflated!When fitting tubeless car tyres, care shouldbe taken to ensure that the tyre beads comingfrom the well-base first clear the hump in therim shoulder. To avoid cracks in the bead core,the “pop” pressure necessary should notexceed 3.3 bar. If the tyre does not pop intoplace even at this pressure, the pressure mustbe lowered, and the cause identified and eliminated.Then the procedure can be repeated.O<strong>nl</strong>y when the tyre beads are seated correctlyon the rim shoulder may the pressure beincreased to achieve the required press-fit andfirm grip on the rim flanges. However, this“fitting pressure” should not exceed 150% ofthe max. pressure given in the tables or bemore than 4.0 bar. After this, adjust the pressureto the operating pressure specified bythe vehicle manufacturer (see Uniroyal tyrepressure table).Car tyres should be dynamically balancedto achieve smooth running.Fitting the wheel to the vehicleVehicle axle data such as toe-in, camber angleand wheel castor as well as axle alignmentmust be checked and, if necessary, be adjustedto within tolerances. O<strong>nl</strong>y then should new tyresbe fitted.<strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Data</strong>book Car Tyres 2007 · 2008 47
Operating instructionsWhen fitting a tyre, make sure that the wheelis centred on the axle hub. If necessary,re-balance the wheel electronically once it isfitted on the vehicle.Valves should be fitted with valve caps– preferably with a sealing ring – as theyprotect the delicate valve inserts and theinside of the tyre.When mounting wheel caps and wheeltrim rings, sufficient clearance to the tyresidewall must be maintained. The wheel cap orwheel trim ring may not come in contact withthe tyre under any operating conditions (e. g.brutal braking maneuvers, fast cornering).The diameter of the wheel cap and the wheeltrim ring may not extend beyond the rim flangeedge. This applies in particular to tyres withrim protection (flange rib “FR”).Directional tyres must be fitted so thatthey roll in the direction of the arrow on thesidewall as the vehicle moves forward.Exception: For a short-term use as a temporaryfitment spare; but revert to specified fittedposition at the earliest possible opportunity!Modern asymmetrical tyres are frequentlynon-directional. These tyres must be fitted withthe sidewall ‘Outside’ on the outside of the vehicleso that their asymmetrical treads can beusedto best effect.Tyres with both of these properties, i.e. thatare directional and asymmetrical, must inaddition be fitted on the correct side of thevehicle, i.e. on the left or on the right to complywith both of the instructions above.Tyre pressureSAFETYWARNING!Incorrect tyre pressureca<strong>nl</strong>eadtotheinsideofthe tyre being damaged.Thiscanresultintyreproblems or even a blowout.Hidden tyre problemsare not rectified by⁄!adjusting the tyre pressure.Table 1:Load capacities and tyre pressures –standard car tyres(The tyre pressure values shown here apply to speeds up to 160 km/h (100 mph) for camber anglesnot greater than 2Ω)Load capacity (kg) at tyre pressure (bar)Load Index 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.562 220 230 240 250 255 26563 230 235 245 255 265 27264 235 245 255 260 270 28065 245 250 260 270 280 29066 250 260 270 280 290 30067 255 265 275 285 295 30768 265 275 285 295 305 31569 270 285 295 305 315 325Continued see page 4948 <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Data</strong>book Car Tyres 2007 · 2008

This varies dependingon the load and service conditions.The pressure always refers to the cold tyreand must not be allowed to fall below thisvalue. The pressure inside warm tyres – drivingcauses heat build-up – is naturally higher. Sonever reduce the pressure of warm tyres. Oncethey cool down, their pressure could fall belowthe specified minimum tyre pressure.Tyre pressure must be checked and adjustedregularly every 14 days on the cold tyre. Thespare tyre may not be forgotten.Incorrect tyre pressure causes prematureand/or uneven tread wear. Under-inflatedtyres have a higher rolling resistance, andthis means a higher fuel consumption.The tyre pressure values for car tyres givenin table 1 and 2 are minimum pressures forspeeds up to 160 km/h (100 mph). They may beincreased, for example, for reasons of drivingstability.3.2 bar is the maximum tyre pressureon standard version car tyres up to and includingSpeed Index T; 3.5 bar for H-, V-, W-, Y- andZR-, as well as M + S and XL/Reinforced tyres.These values may not be exceeded toensure that the structural performance of thetyres and rims is not impaired.ZR tyres without service description havefrom 160 km/h (100 mph) to 190 km/h (118 mph)inclusive the stated pressure of 2.5 bar.

When thecar has been driven and the tyres are warm, itis normal for the tyre pressure to increase.Do not reduce extra pressure caused by a heatbuild-up.A balanced, even style of driving is beneficialfor the tyres and the environment. Harshacceleration, braking with locked wheels andfast steering movements shorten the servicelife of tyres.This applies equally to other types of tyrestrain such as severe scuffing along the kerb,or driving over rough surfaces. This can causehidden or visible damage to tyres.Sudden vibrations of the steering wheel coldpoint to tyre damage. All the vehicle’s tyresshould be checked immediately for damage.Overstressing of tyres (excessive speedor overloading), is to be avoided.This has the same critical effect as underinflationand can cause heat damage tothe tyre.Even wear prolongs the life of tyres.Changing the wheels from back to frontand vice-versa at appropriate intervals isrecommended depending on when thevehicle is serviced but approximately every5.000 to 10.000 km (3.000 to 6.000 miles).Changing over from winter to summer tyrespresents an ideal opportunity for rotatingtyres to different wheel positions. On frontwheel-drivevehicles, in particular, this leadsto increased economy. The instructions given inthe vehicle manual should be followed whenrotating the tyres.For virtually all vehicle makes, rotating thetyres from one axle to the other is permitted.In certain cases changing them crosswise(diagonally) can also be advantageous, so asto reverse their sense of rotation. This doesnot apply to directional tyres. The wheelbalance should also be checked.The high quality standard of tyres, wheels andvehicles – promoted by the above measuresand recommendations – can o<strong>nl</strong>y be ensuredby regular checks of all the relevantfactors.<strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Data</strong>book Car Tyres 2007 · 2008 53
Operating instructionsTyre storageIf stored in unfavourable conditions, or ifnot properly handled, tyres change theirphysical properties. This can lead to a shorterservice life, and the tyres may even deteriorateto the extent that they become unusable. Idealstorage conditions are defined in ISO 2230.Correctly stored and handled tyres retain theirproperties virtually unchanged for severalyears.Storage in the open air, even under aprotective covering, is not permitted.A storeroom for tyres and inner tubesshould be cool, dry and dark and shouldbe moderately well ventilated.Storage temperature must not exceednormal room temperature. In heated rooms thetyres must be shielded from the heat source.The tyres must be protected from direct su<strong>nl</strong>ightand continuous changes of air. As ozone isparticularly damaging, storerooms must notcontain any devices that generate ozone.Solvents, fuels, lubricants, chemicals etc. shouldnotbekeptintyrestoreroomsorcomeintocontact with tyres.Ensure that tyres are not stored under tensionor external pressure to avoid cracks.Minimizing storage time helps avoid damage.Tyres with rimsInflatedDo not stand them upright hang them or pile them (restack every four weeks)Tyres without rimsDo not pile them, or hang themstand them upright and rotate them every four weeks (on racks clear of floor)54 <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Data</strong>book Car Tyres 2007 · 2008
Operating instructionsTyre repairSAFETY WARNING:Serious injury or death⁄!mayresultfromatyredisablement that is causedby failing to observe thefollowing safety andmaintenance information.During its service life, a tyre undergoes avariety of different usage conditions and canbe damaged in many different ways. Thisdamage can result from punctures, impacts,cuts, etc. Tyre damage can reduce a tyre’sstructural integrity by, for example:c Air loss resulting in underinflatedservice conditions which lead to internalstructural damage;c Direct damage to tyre components such asrubber and plies;c Exposure of internal materials to the outsideenvironment and resulting degradation;and/orc Exposure 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 tyredamage is suspected or found, it should becarefully assessed by a trained tyre specialistimmediately.A consumer should never repair a damagedtyre. O<strong>nl</strong>y a trained tyre specialist who canbase his assessment on a thorough and comprehensiveinspection of the specific tyre candetermine whether an individual tyre is suitablefor repair or should be removed from service.This assessment should also take into accountthe complete service life history of the tyreincluding inflation, load, operating conditions,etc. If the tyre specialist decides to repair thetyre, then he should strictly follow all appropriatenational tyre industry repair standardsregarding the inspection process and repairprocedures. Uniroyal is not responsible forthe specialist’s decisions or the repaired tyre.Uniroyal advises that a repair to one of itstyres invalidates the manufacturer’s warranty.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 isreplaced is a decision for which the owner ofthe tyre is responsible. The tyre owner shouldconsider factors to include service conditions,maintenance history, storage conditions, visualinspections, and dynamic performance. Theconsumer should consult a tyre service professionalwith any questions about tyre service life.The following information and recommendationsare made to aid in assessingthe point of maximum service life.Tyres are designed and built to provide manythousands of miles of excellent service. Formaximum benefit, tyres must be maintainedproperly to avoid tyre damage and abuse thatmay result in tyre disablement. The service lifeof a tyre is a cumulative function of the storage,stowing, rotation and service conditions,which a tyre is subjected to throughout its life(load, speed, inflation pressure, road hazardinjury, etc.). Since service conditions vary widely,accurately predicting the service life of any specifictyre in chronological time is not possible.The consumer plays an important rolein tyre maintenance.Tyres should be removed from service fornumerous reasons, including tread worn downto minimum 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 a month. Regular inspectionbecomes particularly important the longer atyre is kept in service. If tyre damage is suspectedor found, Uniroyal recommends that theconsumer have the tyre inspected by a tyreservice professional. Consumers should use this<strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Data</strong>book Car Tyres 2007 · 2008 55
Operating instructionsconsultation to determine if the tyres cancontinue in service. It is recommended thatspare tyres be inspected at the same time.This routine inspection should occur whether ornot the vehicle is equipped with a tyre pressuremonitoring system (TPMS).Consumers are strongly encouraged to beaware of their tyres’ visual condition. Also, theyshould be alert for any change in dynamicperformance such as increased air loss, noise orvibration.Such changes could be an indicator that oneor more of the tyres should be immediatelyremoved from service to prevent a tyre disablement.Also, the consumer should be the first torecognize a severe in-service impact to a tyreand to ensure that the tyre is inspectedimmediately thereafter.Tyre storage, stowage and rotation arealso important to the service life of the tyre.More information regarding proper storage,stowage and rotation is located in otherUniroyal publications, which are available uponrequest and through its websites.Tyre service life recommendationUniroyal is unaware of any technical data thatsupports a specific tyre age for removal fromservice. However, as with other members of thetyre and automotive industries, Uniroyal recommendsthat all tyres (including spare tyres) thatwere manufactured more than ten (10) yearsprevious 1) be replaced with new tyres, evenwhen tyres appear to be usable from theirexternal appearance and if the tread depthmay have not reached the minimum wear outdepth. Vehicle manufacturers may recommenda different chronological age at which a tyreshould be replaced based on their understandingof the specific vehicle application; Uniroyalrecommends that any such instruction be followed.Consumers should note that most tyreswould have to be removed for tread wear-outor other causes before any proscribed removalperiod. A stated removal period in no wayreduces the consumer’s responsibility to replacetyres as needed.Minimum removal tread depth forpassenger and light truck tyres1.6 mm is the most widely accepted minimumtread depth standard at which tyres should beremoved from service. This standard has beenadopted as a regulation by many of the world’snational transportation authorities. As anindication to the consumer, there are treadwear indicator bars in the main grooves of thetyre that become level with the tread surfaceat approximately 1.6 mm of remaining tread.In addition to acknowledging the above,Uniroyal recommends that all passengerand light truck tyres in highway motor vehicleapplication be removed from service at thefollowing tread depths:ccsummer/high performancetyres=3 mmwinter tyres =4 mmThese recommendations are based uponUniroyal’s testing as well as real world experiencewhich shows that drivers can maintainthe performance potential (e.g. wet grip) oftheir tyres by replacing them before they reachthe regulatory minimum tread depthof 1.6 mm.This applies especially to winter tyres forwhich winter driving properties such as snowtraction are significantly reduced at treaddepths below 4 mm.1)Production code of tyres see page 5.56 <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Data</strong>book Car Tyres 2007 · 2008
Operating instructionsGuidelines on tyre safety for drivers andvehicle operators (recommended for vehiclehandbooks).Tyres need to be properly handledif they are to keep you and other roadusers safe. So please note the following:1. The tyre pressure must be as indicatedin the operating instructions for your vehicle oras marked 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.The pressure must be checked every 14 dayswhen the tyres are cold. Don’t forget to checkthe spare.If the pressure is too low, heat may build up inthe tyre and lead to internal damage.At high speeds the tread may even comeoff and the tyre may have a blowout.Tyre damage that cannot be seen is not putright simply by raising the pressure afterwards!2. Drive over kerbstones slowly and,if possible, at right angles. Don’t drive up oragainst any steep or sharp-edged kerbstonesor other objects (e.g. stones); this can lead tonon-visible tyre damage which can cause problemslater – the tyre may fail when runningat high speeds.3. Check tyres regularly for damage, suchas stones, nails etc. that have penetrated thetyre, as well as any cuts, tears or bulges (in thesidewall). Foreign objects can also damagethe inside of the tyre. Let your tyre dealer orspecialist check to see if the tyre can berepaired. If a repair is not possible or doubtful,replace the tyre. Damaged tyres can burst.4. Never fit used tyres whose ’life story’ youdon’t know. And remember that tyres ageeven when they are little used or not used atall. If your spare tyre remains unused for years,you should o<strong>nl</strong>y use it in emergencies and drivecarefully.5. Check the tread depth of your tyresregularly. The lower the depth, the greater therisk of aquaplaning. Ensure that your tyrescomply with the legally required tread depth.<strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Data</strong>book Car Tyres 2007 · 2008 57
