The ozone level in the storage area shall notexceed 5 parts/10 8 (or 5 mPa partial pressure), and no tiresshall be stored within 9.1 m (30 ft) of electrical motors or otherozone-generating equipment. Storage of the tir

Recommendations for Tire Use and OperationalRequirements12.1 It is recommended that the tire be used as a referencefor braking traction, snow traction, and wear performanceevaluations, and for
35、 other evaluations where a standard refer-ence test tire is determined to be required.12.2 The tire shall be mounted on an ETRTO measuring rimwidth code of 9.00 (for example, 22.5 by 9.00 rim).12.3 When irregular wear or damage results from tests, orwhen wear influences the test results, the use of
36、the tire shall bediscontinued.12.4 Test results, such as measured friction force, may beinfluenced by tire tread depth or tread hardness or both. Themagnitude of this dependence is a function of the water depth,pavement characteristics, test speed, tire aging effects, andbreak-in.13. Keywords13.1 br
