Foreword ل الةذم / ل وم حةةل GCC Standardization Organization (GSO) is a regional Organization which consists of the National Standards Bodies of GCC member States. One of GSO main functions is to issue Gulf Standards /Technical regulations through specialized technical committees (TCs). GSO through the technical program of committee TC No. 2-1 " The Gulf technical Subcommittee for vehicles and tyres standards " has updated the GSO Standard No. : 645/2005 " Multi-Purpose Vehicles, Trucks, Buses and Trailers- Tyres Part 1: Nomenclature, Designation, Marking, Dimensions, Load Capacities and Inflation Pressures". The Draft Standard has been prepared by State of Kuwait. This standard has been approved as a Gulf Technical Regulation by GSO Board of Directors in its meeting No.( ),held on / / H, / / G. The approved standard will replace and supersede the GSO standard No. ( / ).

DIMENSIONS, LOAD CAPACITIES AND INFLATION PRESSURES 6.1 Section width 6.1.1 The section width shall be obtained by means of the following formula, (which applies to tyres with a metric size designation. For tyres with a code size designation, item 6.3 applies). S = S1 + K (A A1) Where: S = is the section width expressed in millimetres and measured on the measuring rim. S1 = is the nominal section width in millimetres, as shown on the sidewall of the tyre in the tyre designation as prescribed. A = is the width of the measuring rim in millimetres, as specified by the manufacturer. A1 = is the width of the theoretical rim in millimetres. 6
A1 = shall be taken equal to S1 multiplied by the factor x as prescribed by the tyre manufacturer and K shall be taken equal to 0.4. 6.1.2 The overall width of a tyre may be less than the section width determined in accordance with item 6.1.1 6.1.3 The section width may exceed by 4% in case of radial ply tyres and by 8% in case of diagonal (bias-ply) tyres. However, for tyres of a section width exceeding 305 mm intended for dual mounting (twinning), the nominal value shall not be exceeded by more than 2% for radial ply tyres with nominal aspect ratio higher than 60 or 4% for diagonal (bias-ply) tyres. 6.2 Tyre outer diameter specifications 6.2.1 The outer diameter of a tyre shall be obtained by means of the following formula, (which appliels to tyres with a metric size designation, for tyres with a code size designation, item 6.3 applies). D = d1 + 0.02 (S1 Ra) Where: D d1 S1 Ra is the outer diameter expressed in millimetres. is the conventioal number denoting the nominal diameter of the rim (in mm). is the nominal section width in millimetres. is the nominal aspect ratio, 6.2.2 The outer diameter of a tyre shall not differ from the value " D" by more than ± 1.5% in the case of tyres used on the road, nor by more than +5% and not less than -2% in the case of tyres for special use such as off-road use. 6.3 For the existing types of tyres whose designation is given in publications mentioned in 6.4, the section width and the outer diameter shall be as mentioned in those publications. 6.4 Dimensions load, capacities and inflation pressures shall be in accordance with what is mentioned in current publications, at the date of manufacture of the tyre or any later date, of at least one of the following organizations: 6.4.1 "The Tyre and Rim Association TRA in USA". 6.4.2 "The European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization ETRTO". 6.4.3 "Japan Automobile Tyre Manufacturers Association JATMA". 6.4.4 "Deutsches Institut Fur Normung (DIN)". 6.4.5 "British Standards Institution". 6.4.6 "Scandinavian Tyre and Rim Organization STRO". 6.4.7 "The Tyre and Rim Organization of Australia". 5
