10 Modified manufacturer’s mass limits for a tyre relating to a particular cold inflated pressure

(1) This section applies for the purposes of section 8 .

(2) The manufacturer’s mass limits for a tyre are the manufacturer’s mass limits for the tyre determined at a cold inflation pressure of not more than—

(a) for a radial ply tyre—825kPa; or

(b) for another type of tyre—700kPa.

Example—

The manufacturer’s mass limits for a radial tyre are—

• at a cold inflated pressure of 200–900kPa—5t

• at a cold inflated pressure greater than 900kPa—6t.

Because the latter mass limit (6t) only applies at a cold inflated pressure above the threshold value of 825kPa mentioned in paragraph (a) , the applicable manufacturer’s mass limits for the tyre is 5t.
