The expected discontinuance in manufacturing a standard-reference test tire will lead to changes to an ASTM International standard ( E1136 , Specification for P195/75R14 Radial Standard Reference Test Tire). Users of this specification are invited to join an ASTM task group that is working to manage this transition. The tire has been used extensively since its introduction in the late 1980s.…, ASTM Committee F09 on Tires Next Meeting:, Oct. 13-14, 2015, MAPS Air Museum, North Canton, Ohio, Media Inquiries:, Nathan Osburn, tel +1.610.832.9603; nosburn@astm.org, Technical Contact:, Angela Wolynski, Michelin North America, tel +1.864.422.4985; angela.wolynski@us.michelin.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Julia Lively, tel +1.610.832.9681; jlively@astm.org Release #9880

The purpose of a laboratory roadwheel test is to realistically evaluate tires for specific road conditions. To facilitate such tests, ASTM International Committee F09 on Tires has developed a practice to provide an industry standard for commercial radial truck-bus tire laboratory temperature algorithms. The algorithms equilibrate with flat surface (highway) operating temperatures to determine…
