Tyres of radial structure are identified by means of the letter ‘R’ in place of ‘-’ (e.g. 11×4.00 R 4). 4. Coefficient ‘b’ for the calculation of the Overall diameter Dmax: (a) 1,12 for tyres with Nominal rim Diameter (d) less than 380 mm; (b) 1,10 for tyres with Nominal rim Diameter (d) 381 mm and above.

ANNEX 6 TEST METHOD FOR MEASURING TYRE DIMENSIONS 1. The tyre shall be mounted on the measuring rim specified by the manufacturer and is inflated to a pressure specified by the manufacturer. 1.1. To seat the beads do not exceed the inflation pressure marked on the tyre sidewalls. 1.2. Having properly seated tyre beads on the rim, adjust the pressure to the value specified for tyre measurements. 2. The tyre fitted on its rim is conditioned to the ambient temperature of the laboratory for at least 24 hours. 3. The pressure is readjusted to the value specified in paragraph 1. 4. The overall width is measured by calliper at six equally-paced points, account being taken of the thickness of the protective ribs or bands. The highest measurement so obtained is taken as the overall width. 5. The outer diameter is determined by measuring the maximum circumference and dividing the figure so obtained by π (3,1416).

ANNEX 8 Test procedure to assess tyre resistance to bursting 1. PREPARING THE TYRE 1.1. Mount a new tyre on the test equipment. Wheels used for the test shall be suitable to withstand, with no deformation, the highest value of pressure achievable during the test. 1.2. Carefully centre the tyre beads on the retention device and adjust the outer distance of the tyre beads to a value corresponding to the width of the rim specified by the manufacturer pursuant to paragraph 4.1.10 of this Regulation. 1.3. Fill the tyre with water taking care that all the air inside the tyre is expelled. 2. TEST PROCEDURE 2.1. Activate the apparatus and increase the pressure of the water inside the tyre in order to reach progressively the limit given by two and half times the pressure specified by the tyre manufacturer pursuant to paragraph 4.1.12 of this Regulation; 2.1.1. in no case, however, the limit value shall be lower than 6 bar (600 kPa) or higher than 10 bar (1 000 kPa); 2.2. Maintain constant the value of the pressure for at least 10 minutes. 2.3. Decrease, progressively, the pressure of the water to zero and drain the tyre. 2.4. Whilst the pressure of the water inside the tyre is higher than the ambient pressure, nobody shall stand inside the test room, that shall be safely locked. 3. EQUIVALENT TEST METHODS If a method other than that described above is used, its equivalence must be demonstrated.

ANNEX 9 LOAD/SPEED TEST PROCEDURE 1. SCOPE AND RANGE OF APPLICATION 1.1. This test procedure is applicable for new tyres marked with speed catogory symbol ‘D’. 1.2. It serves the purpose to assess the suitability of the tyre for the claimed performances. 2. PREPARING THE TYRE 2.1. Mount new tyres on the test rim specified by the manufacturer pursuant to paragraph 4.1.10 of this Regulation. 2.1.1. To seat the beads do not exceed the maximum pressure marked on the tyre sidewalls. 2.2. Use a new inner tube when testing tyres with inner tubes (i.e. tyres not bearing the marking ‘Tubeless’). 2.3. With the tyre beads properly seated on the rim, inflate the tyre to the pressure corresponding to the test pressure specified by the tyre manufacturer for the type of test programme, pursuant to paragraph 4.1.15 of this Regulation. 2.4. Condition the tyre and wheel assembly at test room temperature for not less than three hours. 2.5. Readjust the tyre pressure to that specified in paragraph 2.3 above. 2.6. On request of the tyre manufacturer proceed with the test programme as specified in either of the following paragraphs: test procedure in a laboratory on a test drum (paragraph 3 below), or test procedure on a road using a trailer (paragraph 4). 3. TEST PROCEDURE ON A TEST DRUM 3.1. Mount the tyre and wheel assembly on the test axle and press it against the outer face of a smooth power-driven test drum of at least 1 700 mm ± 1 per cent in diameter having a surface at least as wide as the tyre tread. 3.1.1. Drum widths narrower than the tyre tread pattern may be used if the tyre manufacturer agrees. 3.2. Test drum speed: 20 km/h. 3.3. Apply to test axle a series of masses in accordance with the load/speed test programme shown in paragraph 3.4 below, with reference to the test load which equates: 3.3.1. the mass corresponding to load index marked on the tyre in case of tyres marked with speed symbol D. 3.4. Load/speed test programme: Tyre speed category symbol test step percentage of the test load duration (hours) D 1 66 % 7 2 84 % 16 3 101 % 24 3.4.1. In case of a test drum diameter larger than 1 700 mm ± 1 per cent, the above ‘percentage of test load’ shall be increased as follows: F1 = K × F2 where R1 is the diameter of test drum, in millimeter R2 is the diameter of the reference test drum of 1 700 mm rT is the tyre outer diameter (see paragraph 6.2 of this Regulation), in millimeter F1 is the percentage of load to be applied for the test drum F2 is the percentage of load, as per above table, to be applied for reference test drum of 1 700 mm Example: K = 1 for a test drum diameter of 1 700 mm; In case of a test drum diameter of 3 000 mm and a tyre diameter of 1 500 mm: 3.5. The tyre pressure must not be corrected throughout the test and the test load must be kept constant throughout each of the three test steps. 3.6. During the test the temperature in the test room must be maintained at between 20 °C and 30 °C or at another temperature if the manufacturer so agrees. 3.7. The load/speed test programme must be carried out without interruption. 4. TEST PROCEDURE ON A TRAILER 4.1. Mount two new tyres of the same type on a trailer 4.2. Apply on the trailer a mass in order that each tyre be equally loaded with a test load corresponding to the load carrying capacity allowed for that tyre type at 15 km/h (see load variations in annex 7). 4.3. Run the trailer at a constant speed of 15 km/h ± 1 km/h for 48 hours. 4.3.1. Temporary interruptions are allowed, but they must be compensated by an additional run-in of 5 min for every 20 minutes of interruption. 4.4. The tyre pressure must not be corrected and the test load must be kept constant throughout the test. 4.5.
