Automotive Tyres, Tubes and Rims Sectional Committee, TED 07
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by
the Automotive Tyres, Tubes and Rims Sectional Committee had been approved by the Transport Engineering
Division Council.
This standard was first published 2005. This revision has been undertaken to include the latest sizes of tyres which
have been introduced after the publication the standard. Tyres which are fitted to E-rickshaw/E-carts have also
been included in the revised standard.
In preparing this standard, assistance has been derived from the following standards/regulations:
AIS-044 (Part 3) Automotive Vehicles — Pneumatic Tyres for Two and Three Wheeled Motor
Vehicles — Specification
ECE R 75 Uniform Provisions Concerning the Approval of Pneumatic Tyres for Motorcycles
and Mopeds
In this standard SI units have been used, the unit of force, in Newton (N), of tyre load, in kilogram (kg) and of
pressure, in Pascal (Pa). Their relationships are given below for information:
1 kgf = 9.806 65 N
1 kgf/cm2
= 98.066 kPa.
The composition of the Committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given in Annex L.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )’. The number of significant places in the rounded
off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
