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.

 

 

Vehicle capacity weight 

The rated cargo a

nd luggage load plus 68 kilograms (150 lbs.) times the vehicle’s designated seating capacity.

 

 

Vehicle maximum load on the tire 

The load on an individual tire that is determined by distributing to each axle its share of the maximum loaded 

vehicle weight and dividing by two.

 

 

Vehicle normal load on the tire 

The load on an individual tire that is determined by distributing to each axle its share of the curb weight, 

accessory weight, and normal occupant weight (distributed in accordance with Table I of CRF 49 571.110) and 

dividing by 2.

 

 

Weather side

-

pneumatic rim and provides the connection between the non

-

pneumatic rim and the vehicle; or, in the case of a non

-

pneumatic tire assembly not incorporating a wheel, a 

mechanical device which attaches, either integrally or separably, to the non

The National Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has published a brochure (DOT HS 809 361) that 

discusses all aspects of Tire Safety, as required by CFR 575.6. This brochure is reproduced in part below.  It 

can be obtained and downloaded from NHTSA, free of charge, from the following web site:

 

 

http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/TireSafety/ridesonit/tires_index.html

 

 

Studies of tire safety show that maintaining proper tire pressure, observing tire and vehicle load limits (not 

carrying more weight in your vehicle than your tires or vehicle can safely handle), avoiding road hazards, and 

inspecting tires for cuts, slashes, and other irregularities are the most important things you can do to avoid tire 

failure, such as tread separation or blowout and flat tires. These actions, along with other care and 

maintenance activities, can also:

 

 

 

Improve vehicle handling 

 

 

Help protect you and others from avoidable breakdowns and accidents 

 

 

Improve fuel economy 

 

  Inc

rease the life of your tires. 

 

 

This booklet presents a comprehensive overview of tire safety, including information on the following topics:

 

 

Basic tire maintenance 

 

 

Uniform Tire Quality Grading System 

 

 

Fundamental characteristics of tires
