To The Owner/Operator
Off-the-road tires are expensive pieces of equipment
They are engineered and built with massive strength to support today’s equipment. This
equipment is carrying ever increasing heavier loads at higher speeds and over longer distances than ever before.
Years of research and development have resulted in tires that can offer long service lives
under these conditions. High strength carcasses have been developed to offer more load
carrying capacity. New, tougher, higher quality components have improved durability.
Improved rubber technology has helped to improve carcass durability, tread wear and hazard
resistance ability.
Still, there is a limit to the abuse and punishment any tire will take. Too many end up on
a scrap pile because operators ignore common sense driving and operational practices.
Others go out of service prematurely because they were not properly maintained.
This manual, based on long term, extensive OTR field experience and practice, is designed
to provide the information needed to help achieve maximum service life for both the end
user and the equipment manufacturer. If followed, these recommendations will also help
lower ton mile or tonne kilometer costs, improve equipment productivity and promote
operating profits.

Construction Features
Basic Design
Œ
Ž
Earthmover tires are produced in three
basic constructions:
• Bias
• Bias/Belted
• Radial
All share a common nomenclature.

Tread
The part of the tire in contact with the
ground. It must provide traction, long wear
and cut resistance. The tread depth and design vary based on site and application.

Fig. 1 Bias Tire
Œ
Carcass
Contains the inflation medium. The
greater its strength, the greater the pressure
it can hold. Bias and bias/belted tire carcasses use many angled plies of fabric to
achieve strength. Radials have one ply of
steel wire.
Ž

Breakers (Belts)
These are placed between the tread and
carcass. They help to join these parts. They
also distribute road shock to protect the
carcass. In bias/belted and radial constructions, they control the diameter of the tire.
They also impart superior tread impact and
penetration resistance.

Bead
Bundles of high tensile steel wire. They anchor the tire to the rim. Bias and
bias/belted tires may have several bead
bundles. Radials have one large bead bundle.

forms a barrier to protect the carcass from

Basic Factors Tire Maintenance
UNDEFLECTED
(Zero Load)
NORMAL
DEFLECTION
(Rated Load/Inflation)
Deflection
Many people think that deflection describes the bulge at the bottom of a loaded
tire. Actually, this bulge occurs as a result of
deflection.
OVERDEFLECTION
(Overload and/or
Underinflation)
Static Loaded Radius is measured with the
weight of the vehicle and payload on the
tire. Static means that the tire is standing
still.
The deflection is the difference between
the Unloaded Radius and Static Loaded
Radius. This is the same distance that the
axle lowers when the vehicle is fully
loaded.
Deflection really describes the change in
the tire’s radius when a normal load is applied. The radius is measured from the center of the axle/hub to the ground (See
Figure 2, above).
Deflection is extremely important. Engineers design tires to operate at a certain percentage of deflection. Operating with too
much deflection reduces tire life.
Unloaded Radius is measured with no
weight on the tire. The tire is mounted on
a rim and inflated to working pressure. The
tire is stood and supported so the tread
touches the ground. However, no load is
applied (ie. not even the weight of the tire
and rim).
Load and Pressure Relationship
Each tire is designed to carry a specific load
at a specific inflation pressure. (Load/Inflation Tables are in the back of this book).
When the tire is inflated to the correct
5
A2 5 mph 10 kmph
B 30 mph 50 kmph
E 43 mph 70 kmph
pressure for the load, deflection will be
within design limits.
Loading a tire above the specified limit will
result in overdeflection.
NOTE: none of the terms (PR, Symbol, Star,
LISS) indicate the actual number of plies.
Inflating a tire above the specified limit
will result in underdeflection.
There are factors other than inflation pressure which affect tire load capacity. Larger
tires (with larger internal air volumes) can
carry higher loads at the same pressure.
WARNING
Overinflation and or overloading can lead to
a tire explosion. This can lead to death,
serious injury or property damage. Do not
overinflate or overload OTR tires.
Load capacity also varies with speed. The tire
standards associations (T&RA, ETRTO and
JATMA) publish tables of maximum loads
at specified speeds. These tables correspond
to:
For a given tire size, inflation pressure determines how much load can be carried (the
inflation medium can be air or nitrogen).
• 30 MPH (50 KMPH) for scrapers,
trucks.
THE MOST IMPORTANT AND CRITICAL PART OF TIRE MAINTENANCE
IS MAINTAINING PROPER INFLATION PRESSURE.
• 25 MPH (40 KMPH) for graders.
Loads
• Drive-away speeds for roading
equipment.
• 5 MPH (10 KMPH) for dozers,
loaders.
The inflation pressure carries the load. The
tire’s pressure capacity is determined by its
carcass strength.
Operators sometimes overload tires. They
are willing to sacrifice tire performance for
fewer trips or higher production (bigger
loads).
Carcass strength is indicated by a ply rating (PR) for bias and bias/belted tires. Symbol or Star Ratings are used to indicate
radial tire strength (symbol and star mean
the same thing).
Some Off-the-road tires are marked with
Load Indexes and Speed Symbols. A Load
Index is a numerical code associated with
the maximum load a tire can carry at the
speed indicated by the Speed Symbol under
specified service conditions. A Speed Symbol indicates the maximum speed that the
tire was designed to operate under specified service conditions. Some Earthmover
Speed symbols are:
Fig. 3. Ply separation/fatigue due to overloading.
Even a slight, but constant, overload will
result in reduced tire performance. This
6
leads directly to a higher cost per ton mile
or kilometer.
Project or Mine Manager and Job
Superintendent Responsibilities
Overloading may lead to premature tire
failure. If inflation pressure is not adjusted
to heavier loads, tires will become unserviceable due to:
Successful tire cost management and control begins with top management.
Their involvement in the program will emphasize its importance. They are also in the
best position to anticipate changes in tire
requirements.
• Tread and ply separation.
• Disintegration of the carcass and
inner liner (fatigue).
• Radial sidewall cracking.
• Excessive bead chafing.
Changes often occur as a project progresses.
For example, hauls may get longer. Higher
speeds or heavier loads may be required to
maintain production. These may require a
change in tires or equipment used.
Overloads with the inflation adjusted to
compensate may exceed the carcass
strength. This will result in:
A keen, dedicated, cost conscious, tirewise
manager or superintendent will be aware of
these ongoing changes. Appropriate tires
and equipment can then be ordered as
needed.
• Impact breaks and cuts.
• Rapid wear.
• Fabric fatigue (loss of nylon cord or
steel cables strength).
Engineering Department
Responsibilities
Tires and Operating Conditions
Haulroad design plays an important role in
tire cost control. Both tire wear and hazard
exposure can be minimized by proper design. This is especially true on larger projects where roads are used for a long time.
Tires represent one of the major direct expenses in off-the-road (OTR) equipment
operations.
Regular maintenance will help OTR tires
last longer. Longer life translates directly to
a lower cost per ton-mile.
Layout and surface condition of the
haulroad affect tire life.
Every OTR project should have a tire
maintenance program. The program should
be overseen by a team which includes
members from:
Steep grades, sharp turns, poor superelevation increase tire slippage resulting in fast,
abrasive tread wear.
Imbedded or loose rocks increase tread cutting, sidewall cutting, and impact break hazards. They often lead to speed restrictions
which reduce production. Equipment breakdown and maintenance costs also increase.
• Project Management /Job
Superintendent.
• Engineering Department
Representative.
• Operations/Mining Department.
• Maintenance Department
Representative.
• Tire Department Representative.
Tire company representatives can serve as
a resource for the OTR tire team.
7
Poor drainage leads to mud and chuck
holes. These result in tire spinning, fast
tread wear, cuts and increased vehicle fuel
usage.
Vehicle travel speed affects the need for
superelevation more than curve radius.
Table 1 shows the effects of different speeds
and radii on superelevation requirements.

In actual practice, haulroad superelevation
seldom exceeds 4-5%. This minimizes top
dressing flow in rainy or wet operating
conditions.
In addition, site size, topography and
ground conditions often restrict curve radii.
Reduced speed on curves is the most practical way to minimize centrifugal side forces
on tires.
The cost of equipment and labor to maintain haulroads is significant. However, the
cost of delays and tire and equipment repair is far greater.
The U.S.A. Department of the Interior
publication, Design of Surface Mine
Haulage Roads Bureau of Mines Information Circular 8758, contains additional information on mine/project haulage road
design.
Permanent haulroad criteria should be:
1) Maximum grade not to exceed 7%.
2) Road width to allow two trucks to pass
without spillage. A two lane road
should be 3.5 times the widest vehicle.
A three lane road 5.0 times the widest
vehicle.
Operations Department
Responsibilities
The people who operate equipment play a
very key role in how well tires perform.
3) Road crown, slope or crossfall as flat as
possible and still drain. Typical road
crown is 2%- 4% (2.5”-5.0” drop per 10’
of lane width/6.4 cm-12.7 cm drop per
3.0 meters of lane width).
Driver/operator education should include
more than how to drive. Drivers who learn
and follow tire procedures to identify and
avoid tire obstructions help reduce tire
costs. These rules include:
4) Curve radii as large as possible.
Haulroads should be superelevated to
correspond to vehicle travel speeds.
Superelevation minimizes the variation
in tire load while transversing a curve
which may lead to longer tire life.
1) Visually inspect all tires and perform
hot inflation checks at the start of each
shift.
8
5) Never turn front steering axle tires
when the vehicle is standing. This creates very high stress and sheer forces
within the tires.
2) Keep front windshield, headlights and
rear view mirrors clean. This provides
good visibility needed to avoid hazards.
3) Check to be sure rear axle rock ejectors
are in place and working properly (Fig.
6). Remove rocks lodged between dual
tires (Fig. 7).
6) Keep off windrows. These are often present when haulroads are being graded.
7) Do not drive on the berm of the road.
Obstructions are often present.
8) Do not drive over spillage. Spillage can
damage tires. Report it so that it can be
cleaned up (Fig. 8).
Fig. 8.
Fig. 6.
9) Do not drive or back over rocks at
shovel or dump areas. (Fig. 9)
Fig. 7.
Fig. 9.
4) Avoid waterholes/potholes as they could
hide submerged tire hazards.
10) Do not spin tires. This includes
jackrabbit starts and locked brake stops.
9
Check tires for damage due to machine obstructions. Spring clips, fender bolts and
other components may clear tires in normal service. Under unusual operating conditions, vehicle body movement may cause
contact with tires. Cutting or abrasion can
result. Dry, caked mud and wedged rocks
are also tire hazards.
11) Reduce speed in areas where underfoot
conditions continuously change. Conditions in shovel and dump areas
change with each load. The condition
of secondary roadways is unpredictable.
Conscientious Operation by Drivers
Careful drivers avoid road obstructions that
cause cuts and impact breaks. They do not
spin drive wheels and cause excessive tread
wear.
Good drivers see that mechanical problems
are corrected promptly. This includes correct front axle alignment, correct strut settings, no loose or broken springs and no
grabbing brakes.
Good drivers regularly check for leaky
grease fittings. Oil and grease can causes
rapid deterioration of tires.
Fig. 11. Grease and oil are highly damaging to
tires.
Good drivers check rims and flanges regularly. Bent, chipped, broken or improperly
sized flanges strain the bead. Rust, oil or
grease on rim assemblies leads to rubber deterioration which will lead to a shorter
service life.
Fig. 12. A machine obstruction takes a bite out
of this tire tread at each revolution.
In addition to these general guidelines, operators should develop good work habits.
These will vary by the type of equipment
and operation.
Fig. 10.This tire was worn smooth in 500 hours
by spinning on abrasive material.
Shovel/Wheel Loader Operators
Check inflation pressures and request adjustment if needed.
Control spillage and maintain a level working pad at loading areas.
10
1) Do not overload haulage trucks.
4) Station a cleanup dozer at each loading
area. Its responsibility is to immediately
clear any spillage that does occur. It
should also help keep the area as level
as possible.
2) Properly center load in bed of truck.
This distributes the load on the wheels
correctly and reduces spillage. (Fig. 13)
Loader/Dozer Operators
1) Travel slowly between work locations.
Thick, heavy loader/dozer tires quickly
generate internal heat. This heat dissipates slowly. Excess heat can result in
tread separation.
2) Use ballast at recommended fill levels
where recommended (See page 68 for
additional discussion).
Fig. 13. Correct truck payload positioning.
3) In load and carry operations, do not exceed tire’s Work Capability Factor
(WCF) (See page 65 for additional discussion).
4) Avoid tire spin. Use hydraulics to crowd
into the bank or pile.
5) Use bucket to clear a path or level the
surface. This will provide smooth, clean
footing for the dozer and other vehicles.
Fig. 13a. Incorrect truck payload positioning
3) Properly mate dragline, shovel or wheel
loader to trucks being loaded. Excessive
spillage is caused when loading equipment is too large for the truck (Fig.
13b). Loading different size trucks with
the same shovel almost always creates
spillage.
6) Bucket should be wider than the outside-to-outside width of tires on front
axle. This will prevent or minimize
damage to the sidewalls. Loader wings
should be added to help prevent tire
damage.
Grader Operators
1) Patrol haulroads and clean up spillage.
Main roads where haulage speeds are
highest should get the most attention.
Two graders should work roads where
haulage vehicles are wider than a single
grader blade.
2) Don’t leave high windrows. They can
cause damage to haulage truck tires.
Tandem patrols help to reduce grader
created windrows.
Fig. 13b. Loading equipment too large for truck.
11
3) Create and maintain road crown to provide proper drainage.
5) Check for and remove any rocks lodged
between vehicle frame and between
rear duals.
4) Fill depressions and dips in the road.
This will eliminate excessive tire deflection on high speed haulage vehicles.
Tire Department Responsibilities
The most important item in a tire maintenance program is a sound, regular inflation
maintenance program.
Watertruck or Wagon Operators
Limit watering to control dust.
Inflation supports and carries the load. Inflation must be maintained as specified for
the load and service condition.
1) Do not overwater haulroads or work
areas. This can lead to unnecessary cuts
in tire treads and sidewalls.
Tires are designed and built to deflect in
service.
• Water acts as a lubricant for rubber.
• Wet rubber cuts more easily than dry
rubber.
Inflation pressures are established to assure
tires deflect properly. The pressures required vary with the load, speed and type
of service. When inflation pressure is too
high or too low, the tire does not deflect
within design limits. Tires deteriorate
quickly under these conditions.
2) Some watering benefits grading operations.
3) Excessive watering of hard packed,
smooth surfaces is a safety hazard. Vehicle control/safety is reduced on a
slick, wet road surface.
Scraper Operators
Generally, low speed off-the-road operations allow heavier loads at a given inflation. At high speeds, loads must be
decreased.
1) Avoid tire spinning during loading. If a
scraper is not designed for self-loading,
wait to be push loaded.
Recommended loads and inflations should
always be the norm.
Overinflation
2) Dead stick loading minimizes tire spin.
It is essential where ripped rock or
rock/earth material is being loaded.
Overinflation results in high cord stress
even when the tire isn’t overloaded. Stress
reduces resistance to loss of inflation from
impacts. It also increases the risk of rock
cutting. The problem is made worse by
poorly maintained haulroads or spillage.
3) Avoid sharp turns.
Never make sharp turns while being push
loaded.
Figures 14 and 15 show typical overinflation damage.
Rear tires can be cut and destroyed by the
blade of a push dozer. Use a straight not a
curved blade on the push dozer.
4) Dump and spread slowly. Whenever
possible, avoid driving over rocks in the
fill or dump areas.
12
In soft soil, the tire makes an impression.
The impression cradles the tire and reduces
excess deflection. Inflation can be reduced.
Tires operated on hard surfaces do not receive this support. They have to control
deflection by inflation pressure. Higher
pressures are required.
Indirect, but important, advantages of
lower inflation pressures include:
• Better flotation.
• Better traction.
• Better resistance to cutting and impact breaks.
Fig. 14.This break resulted from a severe blow
while overinflated.
Fig. 16.
Fig. 17.
Fig. 15. Rapid air loss like this occurs
frequently when tires are overinflated and
suffer an impact.
Loose or broken cords can result from severe underinflation.
Underinflation
Radial cracks indicate continuous underinflation and/or overload operation. (Fig. 17)
An underinflated tire will deflect too much
leading to excessive sidewall flexing.
Continuous operation results in heat
buildup in a tire. The hot air expands as a
result of the increase in temperature. The
tire’s carcass restricts this expansion so pressure increases.
Underinflation typically results in:
•
•
•
•
Irregular or uneven tread wear.
Sidewall radial cracks.
Ply separation.
Loose or broken cords inside the
tire.
• Fabric carcass fatigue. (Fig. 16)
• Belt edge separation
In normal off-the-road operation this does
not cause deterioration. The pressure becomes stabilized when internal heating is
balanced by external cooling.
Tires operated in soft soil or sand have
lower inflation recommendations. Tires operated on paved or hard gravel surfaces
have higher inflation recommendations.
13
Incorrect Inflation
NOTICE
Underinflation results in irreversible damage such as:
Don’t bleed hot OTR tires to correct buildup
of air pressure.
1) Carcass fatigue.
Bleeding air pressure will result in dangerous underinflation. As the tire cools at the
end of the day, inflation pressure will drop.
The tire will be seriously underinflated at
the start of the next shift or day.
2) Tubeless liner failure.
3) Tread, ply or bead area separation.
Overinflation can be as serious as underinflation:
Even if the tire is operated through the
night, underinflation will occur. Cooler
night air will cause the tire to run cooler.
Inflation pressure will drop. The tire will
suffer excessive deflection and flexing.
Damage is inevitable.
1) Overinflation overstresses the tire carcass.
2) It reduces the tire’s ability to envelope
irregular objects in the travel path.
3) It causes a loss of traction.
Bleeding tire pressure actually begins a vicious cycle. Reduced pressure causes increased deflection and flexing. These
generate heat. Pressure builds up again.
The tire is bled to reduce pressure and the
cycle repeats. It continues until a complete
tire breakdown results.
4) It makes tires more vulnerable to spin
cuts and shock load damage.
5) It reduces flotation in soft ground.
6) It produces a hard ride and vehicle vibration. This contributes to:
• Payload spillage.
• Poor vehicle handling.
• Operator fatigue.
Proper attention to tire inflation, loads and
speeds is the best prevention of tire related
problems. These factors need especially
careful attention in hot weather.
Proper Tire Inflation Procedures
Correct air pressure only when tires are at
ambient temperatures.
Recommended inflation pressures are always
based on a cold reading. A cold tire is one:
Correct Tire Inflation:
1) That has been idle at least 24 hours.
1) Assures load carrying ability.
2) Has reached ambient temperatures.
2) Avoids damage due to run-low or runflat operation. Carcass fatigue, (tubeless) liner failure and radial cracks are
the most common signs of damage.
Proper inflation for each wheel position
should be determined. Ideally, this is based
on actual tire loads determined by an on
site weight study.
3) Reduces tread separation due to overdeflection.
When actual wheel loads aren’t known,
tires should be inflated to the pressure recommended for the size and ply rating.
4) Reduces impact breaks, bruise damage,
tread cuts and penetration.
When checking cold inflation pressures the
correct pressure is:
5) Reduces irregular and rapid tread wear.
Cold pressure + 5 PSI (+.25 Bar), - 0 PSI.
14
Inflation pressure recommendations vary
with the type of service. The type of service also determines the operating speeds:
• Press the valve core briefly and release a small quantity of air.
This cleaning procedure will help assure an
accurate reading and prevent damage to
the gauge.
• Haulage units (earthmoving, mining, logging, etc.): 30 MPH/50 KPH
maximum speed.
• Dozer/loader units (shovels, mining
cars, loaders, etc.): 5 MPH/10 KPH
maximum speed.
• Road graders: 25 MPH/40 KPH
maximum speed.
6) Use a valve cap on every valve. It acts as
the primary air seal. It also helps to prevent dirt, dust and water damage to the
core.
Special service conditions also impose
speed limits based on tire load and construction. These special applications include compactor, sand, straddle carriers,
driveaway and intermittent highway use.
Load and inflation tables for all types of
service are in the back of this book.
Essential Parts of a Sound Inflation
Maintenance Program
7) Check spuds, stems and extensions. Be
sure all joints are tight and secure to
avoid leaks in service.
1) Cold inflation checks and adjustments
should be made once a week. Hot
checks should be made daily.
8) Use valve extensions or hosing for easy
access for inflation checks.
9) Compressors:
2) Never bleed air from a hot tire to correct pressure. Normal equipment operation causes inflation pressure to
increase. A hot pressure increase up to
20% is acceptable.
• Must have a minimum, capacity of
150 PSI (10.0 Bar).
• Compressors must have water trap
assemblies to prevent moisture inside tires.
• Moisture can:
If excessive pressure is present, find and
fix the cause. Bleeding air will result in
serious underinflation and tire damage.
– rust rim parts.
– plug valve stems with rust from
rims or ice crystals.
– reduce pressure gauge life and
accuracy.
– complicate dismounting procedures.
3) Record inflation pressure every time it
is checked. Records provide information that can be used to detect problems
and schedule preventive maintenance.
4) Accurate pressure gauges must be used.
Service gauges must be calibrated with
a master gauge once a week.
5) Before placing pressure gauge on valve:
10) Use a new, correctly sized O-ring each
time a tire is changed. Use a new
grommet on tubeless spuds.
• Clean any dust, dirt, grease or other
matter from tip of valve stem.
11) Thoroughly clean rims and rim parts
before mounting tires. Wire brush:

lock ring.
This average difference should be added to
the recommended inflation pressure for
tires in constant operation.
A tire that shows a significant variation
from the average pressure could have a
problem. The vehicle should be stood
down until the cause can be determined.
Bare metal must be painted or coated
with rust inhibitor.
If necessary, sandblast components to
bare metal and paint with rust preventative paint.
N O TE : Cold inflation checks should be
done at every opportunity. These include
holiday and weekend shutdowns or regular
vehicle maintenance periods.
Clean components are easier to mount.
They also allow a more thorough inspection for stress cracks, broken welds
and other damage.
Matching of Duals
Tire assemblies operated as a dual pair must:
12) Store rim components in a dry area to
prevent rust and corrosion.
• Have the same outside diameter
(Within variation listed below).
• Be from the same manufacturer.
• Be of the same type (industry code).
• Be of the same construction (both
bias or both radials).
• Separate components for storage
(don’t store assembled rims).
• Be sure components are properly
matched before mounting tires.
13) The use of nitrogen inflation is recommended (See page 24).
Bias and radial constructions must never be
mixed on dual assemblies.
• It reduces rim corrosion.
• It reduces the risk of auto-ignition
(tire explosion) from an external
heat source. These include: vehicle
fires, hot brakes or lightening strikes.
Tires on dual assemblies must match in size.
If they do not, they will not carry equal
shares of the load. The larger tire will carry
a greater load. It will wear faster than its
smaller partner. It will also suffer greater
stress which makes it vulnerable to damage.
To be effective, nitrogen must be used
for all maintenance refills.
The smaller tire will also suffer irregular
scuff wear. This will lead to early replacement.
Hot Inflation Checks
When vehicles operate around the clock,
cold inflation checks may not be possible.
In addition to fast wear, mismatching may
result in axle breaks and difficult steering.
A hot tire correction factor can be determined by experiment:
Maximum diameter variation for duals
should be:
• Check as many tires as possible
when cold.
• Check the same tires after four hours
of normal operation.
• Determine the average difference in
cold and hot inflation pressure.

Circumferential measurement is a more accurate guide for larger tires. The circumference is measured with a steel tape. For
accuracy, tires must be measured mounted
on rims and inflated.
Tire and Rim Association
(T&RA)
European Tire and Rim
Technical Organization
(ETRTO)
This is an organization of technical
representatives from all tire and rim
equipment manufacturers. Its purpose
is to set industry standards/guidelines.
Located in Brussels, Belgium, this
group is very similar to the T&RA. It
too sets standards and issues recommendations followed by industry suppliers. This results in common
dimensional measurements and
load/inflation relationships beneficial
to equipment users.
Its work has prevented chaos in the
sizes and types of equipment available.
This makes rims, tubes, valves and
other components widely interchangeable. It also gives equipment operators
easy access to replacement parts and
service.
ETRTO data are expressed in metric
units. T&RA data are expressed in
English and metric units. They are not
necessarily identical.
The Association also establishes load
and inflation recommendations. These
are used by equipment manufacturers
in the design of their machines.
ETRTO data are not formula conversions of English units. They are independent recommendations. They are
based on engineering principles and
field experience of the group’s members. When available, ETRTO data are
included in the load/inflation tables in
this book. However, ETRTO standards
do not exist for all sizes. Where a size is
not covered, SI (System International)
conversion formulas are used.
The T&RA yearbook contains many
references to load and inflation tables.
These recommendations are based on
the best engineering principles. They
have been refined over years of actual
field experience. Importantly, they are
based on information gathered from
the entire industry, not a single manufacturer.
Japan Automobile Tyre Manufacturers Association
(JATMA)
Located in Tokyo Japan this association is similar to T&RA AND ETRTO. It sets
standards and issues recommendations that are followed by type and rim manufacturers. This results in common dimensional measurements and load/inflation relationships which benefit equipment manufacturers and end users. JATMA data is
expressed in metric units. due to calculations and rounding the dimensions, loads
and inflations of T&RA, ETRTO and JATMA may not be identical but are close.
Use the standards/guidelines from the organization from your region of the world.

How To Calculate Loads and Load Distribution
1) Empty weight per axle.
2) Weight of payload (estimated if necessary).
3) Measurements shown in Fig. 19.
In our formula:
A = Distance from front axle to center of
payload in inches.
B = Distance from rear axle to center of
payload in inches.
C = Wheelbase in inches.
F = Empty weight on front axle.
R = Empty weight on rear axle.
With this information, the load on each
axle can be determined.
Load on = (A/C X payload) + R
rear axle
Load on = (B/C X payload) + F
front axle
For example, if:
A = 108”
B = 132”
C = 240”
F = 10,000 #
R = 8,000 #
Payload = 36,000#
Fig. 18. Scales set and ready for use.
The best method is to weigh the loaded
machine one axle at a time.
When this is impractical, tire load can be
estimated with the following formulas.
They take into account vehicle designs
that result in uneven load distribution on
the axles.
then Rear Axle Load =
(A/C
X Payload +
R =
(108/240 X 36,000) + 8,000 =
( .45 X 36,000) + 8,000 =
16,200
+ 8,000 = 24,200
To use the formulas, you need to know:
Fig. 19. Center of Load.
18
and Front Axle Load =
(B/C
X Payload
(132/240 X 36,000)
( .55 X 36,000)
19,800

These percentages give us a ratio:
F=
10,000 =
10,000 =
10,000 = 29,800
45:55 = 100.
This is important because it applies to any
load in that vehicle. Thus, it allows us
quickly to calculate the effects of lighter or
heavier loads.
Our example also shows that the part of the
load on each axle is a percentage of the
wheelbase.
Load Distribution on Other Types of
Carriers
In our example, the distance from the center of the payload to the front axle is 45%
of the wheelbase:
The formula may be applied to all types of
wheeled machines. Some slight changes in
description may be needed, however.
108/240 = .45 = 45%
For example, in a tractor/trailer combination:
This is the percentage of the load carried
by the rear axle.
The wheelbase is the distance from the
pivot point to the rear axle.
The distance from the center of the payload to the rear axle is 55% of the wheelbase:
To determine the weight distribution on
the tractor:
132/240 = .55 = 55%
The pivot point is the center of the load.
This is the percentage of the load carried
by the front axle.
The load on the pivot point is the total
payload on the tractor.
Burned Beads
The machine should be parked outside, remote from all personnel.
WARNING
Burned beads are very dangerous. They can
cause a sudden loss of air that can lead to
death, serious injury or property damage.
These have been reported more than an
hour after a vehicle was parked.
DO NOT STAND NEAR A TIRE AND RIM ASSEMBLY WITH A HOT BRAKE.
Burned beads are usually caused by brake
problems. Excessive braking or dragging
brakes are the most common source.
Another risk is a loss of inflation long after the
machine is parked. When the machine is shut
down, cooling air does not circulate. The hot
brake quickly transfers heat to the rim base.
Air pressure builds and the bead becomes
hot and weak. Eventually, an explosive,
potentially dangerous rupture may occurs.
Excessive braking can result in temperatures up to 500º F (246º C). This heat is
transmitted through the brake drum to the
rim. The rim heats the inside bead and
burns it.
Temperature above 250º F (123º C) may
reduces bead durability.
The air in an earthmover tire has extremely
high energy when released suddenly. Since
burned beads can lead to a sudden rupture,
extreme caution must be exercised.
Burned beads can cause several kinds of tire
failure.
19
The most common is a reduction in compressive fit between bead and rim. This
causes a leak. If it does not produce a flat
tire, it will result in underinflation. An underinflated tire will generate more heat.
This will lead to ply separation and a loss of
strength. Rapid air loss will occur. This
most likely will be in the bead or lower
sidewall.
After the brake has cooled, the tire can be
replaced.
Modern equipment design has made brake
overheating rare.
Engine retarders are common. These slow
the equipment without excessive braking.
Proper training will assure that operators
use this feature effectively.
Air wicking through the carcass is another
problem bead condition. This causes pressure to build up within the carcass and a
separation of tire components.
Some machines use wheel coolants. These
transfer heat from the bead area. Coolant
must be checked regularly and maintained
at proper levels.
Most burned bead problems occur with
new equipment or new operators. Proper
training and a conscious effort to avoid excessive braking can prevent most problems.

to burned bead.

Repairs
Both tube-type and tubeless tires can be repaired. Regular inspection can detect repairable injuries before they become
serious. Immediate attention may prevent
extensive or costly damage.
Clean out cuts with an awl to remove any
lodged in or embedded material. Use a
sharp, small blade knife to cut a coneshaped cavity. The cavity should extend to
the bottom of the injury. Sides of the cavity should slant enough to prevent stones
from wedging. Tires with cuts treated in
this manner may continue in service and
cut growth should be reduced.
Tread and sidewall cuts are a major source
of off-the-road tire trouble. Tires should be
checked at the start of each shift and during regular inflation checks. Cuts which
extend to or into the belts or cord body
must be repaired. The tire must be taken
off for repair.
All small cuts should be repaired when tires
are removed for major cut repairs. Tires
with very high hours (greater than 10,000)
are not good repair candidates.
Shallow cuts in the tread can be treated
without dismounting tires. Small rocks and
dirt will get into these shallow cuts. If neglected, the rocks will gradually be pounded
or drilled through the cord body.
Tire repair may be possible, but may not be
economical in older tires. The cost of the
repair must be justified by the remaining
service life.

will cause cut separation or cut through.

21
Recapping/Retreading
Both tube-type and tubeless tires can be recapped.
life out of the carcass. Retreading should
not be considered for tires operated:
Recapped tubeless earthmover tires do not
require a tube to return to service.
• At high speeds.
• Overloaded.
• Underinflated.
A good tire maintenance program will result in tire cost savings. It will also improve
tire retreadability for future savings.
Tires with very high hours (greater than
10,000) should not be retreaded.
Some service conditions take too much
The best recapping candidates are tires
which had fast tread wear. This occurs at
sites with steep grades or abrasive surfaces.
Handling and Storage of Tires, Tubes and Rims
Store O-ring seals in a cool, dry place.
Proper handling and storage will prevent
damage to tubeless tires.
Lay flat. Do not stack other materials on
O-rings.
Unmounted tires should be shipped and
stored vertically. Horizontal storage may
compress the beads. This may make initial
inflation difficult.
Store valves in a clean, cool, dry place.
Tire and Tube Storage
Some new tires are shipped banded to preserve their shape. Do not remove bands
until tires are ready to mount.
Tires and tubes deteriorate rapidly if improperly stored.
Improper storage conditions include:
Do not lift tires by the beads. Sharp hooks
or forks cut and tear beads. In service, beads
may leak at these lifting points.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Foreign material and moisture must be removed from the inside of the tire before
mounting.
Rims
Direct sunlight.
Heat.
Air in motion.
Ozone.
Gasoline and oil.
Dust and dirt.
Water or moisture inside tires.
Even short term storage should avoid exposure to these conditions.
Tubeless rims are an important part of the
air seal in a mounted tire. Do not distort or
mutilate rim parts.
Never lift rims by valve holes.
Storage time should be minimized by using
tires in the order received.
Never drop, tumble or roll rim parts.
New Tires
Use babbit or lead hammers sparingly during assembly. Sledge hammers can damage
rim parts.
1) Store indoors in a cool, dark, dry, draft
free area. If tires must be stored outdoors, they should be covered. An
opaque, waterproof tarpaulin is a good
22
Mounted Tires
cover. Water and moisture must be kept
out of the tire.
1) If tires are stored on a machine, it
should be blocked up. Air should be released to 10 psi (.7 bar) or less. If machine cannot be blocked up, check air
pressure frequently. Maintain pressure
at proper level.
If possible, mount on wheels and inflate
to 10% of operating pressure. Store vertically. Cover with a tarpaulin.
2) Store away from electrical devices such
as motors and switches. These are a
source of ozone.
2) Protect each tire with an opaque, waterproof cover.
3) Do not store in rooms with or near
gasoline or lubricants. Rubber absorbs
vapors from these materials and they
can cause deterioration.
3) Machines resting on tires should be
moved once a month. This prevents deflection strain on only one part of the
tire.
4) Provide carbon dioxide fire extinguishers in tire storage areas.
4) Do not use paint to preserve tires. If severe storage conditions are expected,
consult tire supplier for recommendations.
Used Tires
1) Carefully clean and inspect tires before
storage. Make necessary repairs before
storage. Repairs to injuries which expose tire cord are especially important.
Moisture can get into exposed cord.
Tubes
1) Store in original package until ready for
use. Keep in a cool, dry, draft free area.
2) Used tubes must be removed from the
tire. They must be completely deflated,
cleaned and folded. Store in a cool, dry,
draft free area.
2) Observe all storage rules listed for new
tires.

SECTION II
Procedure for Changing
Tires and Tubes
Changing Off-The-Road Tires
Replacement of off-the-road tires is a difficult job. They are often located in rough,
hilly terrain. Most are used in remote geographical locations. Site conditions are
usually far from ideal. Proper equipment
may not be available.
The procedures in this section describe
changing larger size tires. Both ideal and
difficult conditions are covered.
The procedures are based on both field and
shop experience. They are designed to
make the change as easy as possible.
Nitrogen Inflation
• An appropriate relief valve.
• A pressure regulator set for no more
than 20 PSI (1.5 Bar) over desired inflation.
• A remote control clip-on chuck. This
allows personnel to stand clear of
tire/rim assembly during inflation.
Many original equipment manufacturers
recommend nitrogen inflation. It helps to
minimize the possibility of explosion due to
excessive heat from external sources.
Typical sources are:
•
•
•
•
•
Vehicle fires.
Excessive braking.
Dragging brakes.
Welding on rims of mounted tires.
Lightening strikes.
Proper inflation pressure for tires inflated
with nitrogen is the same as for air.
Nitrogen tanks are pressurized to 2200 PSI
(152 Bar).
All these can cause the inside of the tire to
ignite and burn.
Correct equipment must be used and proper
safety precautions taken. Otherwise, an explosion or blowout of the tire/rim assembly
could result. This can cause death, serious
personal injury and property damage.
WARNING
An explosion caused by tire auto-ignition is
much more violent than other sudden air
loss situations.
There are several other benefits to nitrogen
inflation:
Serious injuries and death can result from
such explosions.
• It offers improved pressure retention
• It minimizes rim rust.
Never weld on a rim of a mounted tire.
Inflating with nitrogen should be done only
by trained personnel using proper equipment. This includes:
24
Tire Changing Equipment and Tools
Tire changing procedures vary with individual operators. Certain tools, however,
are essential.
6) Service truck. In larger operations, a
fully equipped truck can minimize
down time. The truck should be
equipped with:
1) Heavy equipment jack.
• A mounted hoist. The hoist should
be strong enough to handle the
largest tires.
• An air compressor with a regulator.
Models are available which operate
off the truck engine or are self powered.
• Large bore/super large bore inflating
equipment. This minimizes inflation
time.
• Clip-on chucks with remote controls. These allow inflation from a
safe distance.
2) Tire tools and irons. These include:
• Several irons with dished or spoon
shaped ends.
• Crowbar.
• Heavy duty rubber or wood mallet or
lead or babbit hammer.
3) Wheel chucks.
4) Jack stands
5) Air compressor.

Welding or other heating of an inflated
tire/rim assembly can cause an explosion.
This can cause death, serious injury or
property damage.
Welding or brazing a rim with a deflated tire
can cause damage to the tire. When reinflated, the damaged tire could also explode.
Welding or brazing a rim with no tire is
contrary to recommendations of rim manufacturers. It can cause a structural weakness in the rim. This can also lead to failure
under inflation or service conditions.

Inflation Procedures for Proper Mounting
After Tire & Rim Assembly Has Been Placed on Machine
During mounting, all off-the-road tires
must be inflated, deflated, and reinflated.
This procedure has two purposes.
• Grader tires inflate to 50 PSI (3.50
Bar)
• Less than 29” rim diameter tires
inflate to 75 PSI (5.25 Bar)
• Larger than 29” rim diameter tires
inflate to 90 PSI (6.25 Bar)
First, it helps assure that the beads are
seated properly. Beads must seat against rim
flanges and be in compression on tapered
bead seats.
Failure to seat the beads can cause bead
durability problems. In tubeless tires, it can
also allow air leakage under the beads.
Second, it removes buckles and uneven
stress from flaps and tubes.
Air pressure is the only positive method to
fully seat off-the-road tire beads. Operating
a tire will not seat an improperly mounted
tire. It will result in damage to the beads
and shortened tire life.
Initial inflation varies with rim size:

SECTION III
Tire Selection for Expected
Service Conditions
All off-the-road (OTR) tires are subject to
the demands imposed by:
occurs because tread volume decreases as
tread elements are spaced further apart.
The greater the spacing, the better the tire
can dig in. But with less rubber on the
ground, the tread wears faster.
• heavy loads
• less than desirable operating conditions
To minimize compromises, Goodyear offers
a variety of off-the-road-tires with choices
of:
All require:
• High carcass strength to hold the inflation pressure necessary to carry
great loads and resist impact damage.
• Tread and sidewalls constructed rubber to help resist cuts and bruises.
• Tread patterns designed for high
traction to help transmit high engine horsepower.
• Flotation capabilities in soft underfoot conditions.
• tread design
• non-skid (tread) depth
• tread rubber compounds
for customers to select.
Tire Selection Criteria
There are four major areas to evaluate to
determine the best tire for an earthmover:
• Will it fit?
• Will it carry the load?
• Will it work in the underfoot conditions?
• Does it meet TMPH/WCF requirements?
Some operations, however, require different tire construction features for the job
site conditions. For example, operations
with long haulage cycles need more heat
resistant tread. Sharp rock service demands
extra tread depth to minimize cutting. Soft
underfoot or muddy conditions call for better traction.
OTR equipment manufacturers supply
technical data needed to determine tire
loading. These include:
Unfortunately, improvements in one area
of a tire’s performance often result in compromise.
• Empty and loaded vehicle weight.
• Load distribution by axle.
Increased tread depth typically results in reduced heat resistance. Heat is detrimental
to tire life. Loads or speeds may have to be
reduced to minimize heat generation. Otherwise, the tire may suffer structural damage and lose service life.
Equipment manufacturers typically deliver
their vehicles with a base tire. This base
tire is suitable for standard loads and inflations. Users, however, typically want to
carry larger loads to achieve maximum productivity. To carry heavier loads, larger or
higher ply rated tires must be used.
Similarly, improved traction is usually
gained at the expense of tread wear. This
61
Higher vs. Lower Inflation Pressure
Equipment manufacturers recommend
optional tires sizes and ply ratings for
different loading and operating conditions.
However, other considerations can affect
the tire choice.
Usually, you have two choices to carry a
given load:
1) a smaller size tire with a higher ply rating and inflation pressure; or
Factors involved in tire selection include:
2) a larger tire which will carry the load at
a lower inflation pressure.
• Material density. The weight per cubic
yard (cubic meter) varies greatly.
• Optional equipment can add substantial weight. It can also affect
weight distribution.
• Equipment modifications can affect
weight and its distribution. This is especially true of modifications by users.
• As equipment ages, it tends to become heavier when empty. Thus,
empty weight and distribution will
change over time.
If possible, the tire with a lower inflation
pressure should be selected. As a general
rule, lower inflation pressure offers these
advantages:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Increased tread wear.
Reduced cut and impact potential.
Improved repairability.
Improved retreadability.
Reduced rim and wheel breakage.
Reduced vehicle maintenance and
repair costs.
• Less road maintenance required.
Because of these factors, it is necessary to
estimate the actual operational tire loads.
An appropriate tire can then be selected
using recommended load and inflation tables.
Remember, however, that inflation supports and carries the load. If the weight demands high inflation pressure, the use of
lower inflation pressure is not an option.
The Tire and Rim Association (T&RA)
publishes suggested maximum inflation
recommendations for OTR tires.
Vehicle clearance must be considered.
While it may be necessary to estimate
wheel loads, actual load data is extremely
desirable. This can be obtained through an
on-site load study.
Goodyear has a sizeable history of tire load
data for a wide range of equipment. This
information is available to users to help in
their selection of OTR tires.
62
Ton Mile Per Hour (TMPH/TKPH) Requirement
Tires on OTR vehicles generate and buildup heat. There is a definite relationship between the heat generated and:
•
•
•
•
calculated from the time the vehicle first
moves until the shift finishes.
The formula gives a number called the Job
T M P H ( T K P H) .
Load
Speed
Travel distance
Improper inflation pressure
All Goodyear earthmover tires have a
TMPH/TKPH rating. These ratings are
available from any Goodyear OTR sales or
service department.
Excessive heat can lead to premature tire
wear.
The Job TMPH/TKPH must be known for
each wheel position. Tire selection can
then be based on:
The TMPH formula calculates the rate of
work tires can perform and stay within a
safe temperature range.
• A size and ply rating which will not
be overloaded.
• A type or design with a
TMPH/TKPH rating equal to the
job requirement.
Simply stated, the TMPH formula is:
Average Tire Load (short tons)
X Average Shift Speed (MPH)
S a m p l e T M PH c a l c u l a t i o n :
Similarly, the Ton Kilometer Per Hour
(TKPH) formula is:
Conditions:

pounds (10.0 tons)
• Loaded vehicle tire load = 34,000

• Number of Hours Worked = 8.0

• The shift hauls 15 loads
• Each haul is 9.0 miles, round trip.
N O TE : Mines using computer dispatch
systems must use Average Hourly Speed
rather than average shift speed.
The Average Tire Load is calculated:

The Work Capability Factor (WCF)
Goodyear dozer and loader tires are used in
dig and load service. They are normally selected from the TRA 5 MPH/10 KPH tables. Tire heat build-up in this type of
operation is not a factor.
Average Tire Load (metric tons)
X Maximum Average Speed (KPH)
The Average Tire Load is calculated:
Empty Tire Load + Loaded Tire Load
2
Operators sometimes use loaders as transport machines. When the haul distance exceeds 50 feet (15 meters), the operation is
termed load and carry. This type of service
can involve speeds above 5 MPH (10
KPH). Longer hauls and rapid work cycles
also are common.
Tire load data should be the actual loads, if
possible. If these are not known, the manufacturer’s specifications can be used.
The Maximum Average Speed is found by:
Round Trip Distance
X Maximum Cycles per Hour
Dozer and loader tires are thicker and
stronger than other OTR designs. Heat will
build up faster in these designs.
Sample WCF calculation (English Units):
Tire heat build-up is a function of work the
tire is doing.
Conditions:
• Empty vehicle tire load = 15.0 tons
• Loaded vehicle tire load = 30.0 tons
• Maximum cycles per hour = 35
• Each haul is 800 feet (.152 miles),

provides a way to select tires that can handle the work.

WCF Field Applications
Job Conditions
The WCF can be used to determine maximum speeds and cycles for tires. This can
help operators adjust operating conditions
for:
Load capacity and TMPH/TKPH (or
WCF) ratings tell whether a tire can handle the job. They are not the only tire selection criteria, however.
• Existing tires where changeover is
impractical.
• New tires where size or equipment
limitations restrict selection.
Other site and operational factors that
have to be considered include:
1) Environmental conditions such as:
• Heavy rain
• Heavy snow
• Wide ranges in ambient temperatures
For example:
Conditions:
• Empty Front Tire Load = 30,000
pounds (15 tons)
• Loaded Front Tire Load = 60,000
pounds (30 tons)
2) Availability of capable, trained personnel.
3) Length of time the project will last.
15 tons + 30 tons =

• Are permanent haul roads feasible?
• Is a haul road maintenance program
feasible?

4) Length of work day.
• One way haul length = 400 feet
(800 feet round trip)
• Tire on loader: 33.25-35 (L-5) WCF
= 115
To determine maximum speed use the
formula:
• Daylight only operation provides visibility needed to avoid tire hazards.
• One or two shift operation allows
more tire cool-down time.
Goodyear earthmover tire sales engineers
receive continuous training on tire
applications. They can provide knowledgeable advice on tire selection.

Ballasted Tires
Increasing the load on the drive axle offers
many advantages:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Tubeless tires can be ballasted. Calcium
chloride solution will not harm rims if a
minimum of 75% fill is used.
Improved traction
Increased drawbar pull
Less slippage
Less pressure loss
Less tread wear
Less bounce
Less fuel consumption
A corrosion-proof gauge should be used to
check inflation pressures.
The valve must be in the highest position
when pressure is checked. This gives the
most accurate reading.
Mixing the Calcium Chloride Solution
The simplest way to add weight is to partially fill the tires with liquid.
The amount of calcium chloride needed to
prevent freezing varies with the temperature.
No less than 75% of the tire’s volume
should be filled with liquid. A 100% fill
can cause an unsafe pressure rise under
load.

The solution strength will provide antifreeze protection to -30º F (-34º C). The
total weight gain in the right column is important for tire loading calculations.
Special Considerations For
Ballasted Tires
Before adding ballast, tires must be seated
with air. Inflate:
The amount of CaCl2/Water needed for
other sized tires can be easily calculated.
The volume of the tire must be known.
Then use the formula:
• Grader tires = 50 PSI (3.5 Bar)
• Tires less than 29” in diameter = 75
PSI (5.25 Bar)
• Tires 29” and larger in diameter = 90
PSI (6.25 Bar)
3/4 Vol. (in cu. in.) = Gal Water
269.6
The 269.6 divisor is established by:
After seating, exhaust air and add ballast.
(See page 46 for additional information.)
Volume of Gal. Water = 231 cu. in.
Swell Factor
= 38.6 cu. in.
Tubes filled with calcium chloride must be
equipped with special sealed-in base valves.
These prevent separation of the rubber
valve base and valve metal.
Vol of 1 Gal. H2O + 3.5 Lbs. CaCl2=
269.6 cu. in.
68
Swell factors will vary with the amount of
CaCl2 added. Other swell factors are available from any Goodyear OTR Sales or
Service office.
Weight can be found by:
Weight of Water = Gal. X 8.3
+ Weight of CaCl2 = Gal. X 3.5
Ballast Weight
Liquid Ballast Tables
The following conditions apply;
1) One gallon water = 231 cu. in. = 8.35 pounds
2) Ca Cl2 is added at 3.5 pounds per U.S. Gallon.
3) Quantities shown fill 75% of tire volume.
4) All quantities are rounded to nearest .5 Gallon, Liter, Pound or Kilogram.

Service Notes –
A. Regular Tread Tires
1. Maximum Highway Speeds: Conventional tires – 50 kph, Wide Base Tires – 30 kph.
2. Stop for 30 minute cooling period after each 50 miles of driving or 2 hours of sustained operation,
whichever comes first.
3. One hour minimum stop should be observed after each 4 hours of operation.
4. Where Conventional and Wide Base tires are mixed on vehicle, use guidelines specified for Wide Base
tires.
B. Extra Skid Depth and Special Compound Tires
1. Vehicles equipped with extra skid depth tires are not to be driven in transit over the highway unless the
proposed trip is reviewed and approved by the tire manufacturer.
C. Instructions for Use of Drive-Away Table –
1. Determine the load each tire will carry.
2. Using the table, select the inflation pressure shown for the tire load determined. This is the pressure
required for drive-away service.
3. Tire ply rating is ignored when determining drive-away load and pressure conditions.
