Cold inflation pressure
The pressure in the tire before you drive.
Cord
The strands forming the plies in the tire.
Cord separation
The parting of cords from adjacent rubber
compounds.
Cracking
Any parting within the tread, sidewall, or inner liner
of the tire extending to cord material.
CT
A pneumatic tire with an inverted flange tire and
rim system in which the rim is designed with rim
flanges pointed radially inward and the tire is
designed to fit on the underside of the rim in a
manner that encloses the rim flanges inside the air
cavity of the tire.
Curb weight
The weight of a motor vehicle with standard
equipment including the maximum capacity of fuel,
oil, and coolant, and, if so equipped, air
conditioning and additional weight optional engine.
Extra load tire
A tire designed to operate at higher loads and at
higher inflation pressures than the corresponding
standard tire.
Groove
The space between two adjacent tread ribs.
Gross Axle Weight Rating
The maximum weight that any axle can support, as
published on the Certification / VIN label on the
front left side of the trailer. Actual weight
determined by weighing each axle on a public scale,
with the trailer attached to the towing vehicle.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
The maximum weight of the fully loaded trailer, as
published on the Certification / VIN label. Actual
weight determined by weighing trailer on a public
scale, without being attached to the towing vehicle.
Hitch Weight
The downward force exerted on the hitch ball by
the trailer coupler.
Innerline
r
The layer(s) forming the inside surface of a tubeless
tire that contains the inflating medium within the
tire.
Innerliner separation
The parting of the innerliner from cord material in
the carcass.
Intended outboard sidewall
The sidewall that contains a white-wall, bears white
lettering or bears manufacturer, brand, and/or model
name molding that is higher or deeper than the
same molding on the other sidewall of the tire or the
outward facing sidewall of an asymmetrical tire that
has a particular side that must always face outward
when mounted on a vehicle.
Light truck (LT) tire
A tire designated by its manufacturer as primarily
intended for use on lightweight trucks or
multipurpose passenger vehicles. May be used on
trailers.
Load rating
The maximum load that a tire is rated to carry for a
given inflation pressure.
Maximum load rating
The load rating for a tire at the maximum
permissible inflation pressure for that tire.
Maximum permissible inflation pressure
The maximum cold inflation pressure to which a
tire may be inflated.
Maximum loaded vehicle weight
The sum of curb weight, accessory weight, vehicle
capacity weight, and production options weight.
Measuring rim
The rim on which a tire is fitted for physical
dimension requirements.
Non-pneumatic rim
A mechanical device which, when a non-pneumatic
tire assembly incorporates a wheel, supports the
tire, and attaches, either integrally or separably, to
the wheel center member and upon which the tire is
attached.
