Unfavourable weather conditions also accelerate the ageing process as well as the
storage conditions thar were covered in the
previous section.
An expert should always be called in to make
a qualified judgment on the tires.
Regrooving of the tread pattern usually when
there are 2 or 3 millimetres of tread depth
left should be carried out only by qualified
experts when the word REGROOVABLE is
displayed on the tire sidewall.
Tire repairs
Tire damage may initially be just a question
of damage to the outer rubber: however, this
apparently superficial damage can eventually
extend down to, or into, the tires reinforcing
materials (casing/belt). Therefore no time
should be lost in taking the tire to a specialist for assessment as soon as any external
damage is detected.

Terms and Explanations

The tire is then driven underinflated and consequently subjected to excessive strain. All
these factors can make a tire non-repairable
by the time the damage is finally discovered.
If the tire is repaired regardless, even if it is
repaired by a reputable tire specialist, it is
possible that tire failure can still occur as a
result of an overstrained area, other than that
originally damaged.

Load/Speed Index
The nominal load carrying capacity of a tire
is expressed as the Load Index (LI) and is expressed in kg. In addition to this, a reference
speed is also determined in connection with
the nominal load carrying capacity (refer to
speed symbol and reference speed).

This is why each tire must be carefully inspected by a tire expert before it is repaired.
For only a specially trained person can decide
whether it is possible to repair the tire and
whether the tire will be capable of delivering
safe performance after the repair. Repairs
must be carried out by an authorized workshop, which is then responsible for inspecting the tire and for doing the job properly.

Speed symbol and reference speed (km/h)


Each speed symbol is assigned a reference
speed in km/h or mph. The tire speed is assigned the nominal load carrying capacity of
the tire.
PR
Ply-rating (also called PR), is an international designation for the solidity of the tire
casing. In the past, the tire load-carrying
class was only expressed by means of a
PR number. The exact designation of load
carrying capacity is nowadays expressed
as a numerical code, namely the Load Index
(or LI).

Repairs to the wheels are forbidden.

Damage to the reinforcing materials, for


instance due to a nail puncture or a deep
cut, is particularly dangerous because dirt
and moisture may penetrate during the time
between when the damage occurred and
when it was detected. This may even result
in more serious damage to the reinforcing
materials. Damage to the inside of a tire can
also cause a slow puncture.

This service brochure is of informative character. All liability is excluded, whether for
damage or for other legal reasons (see also
page 2).

Operating instructions
Since 1982 all tires have been typed in accordance with ECE5) directive 54 and thus
also in accordance with the current EU6) tire
directives.
The data provided in this guide based on
average operating conditions as normally
found in central Europe.
Please contact us with respect to operating
conditions differing from the above, e.g. for
applications outside Central Europe.
The tire sizes given in this guide are not always identical to the ones available in the
size range.
Lower inflation pressure, greater loads or
higher speeds than those recommended by
the vehicle or tire manufacturer shorten the
service life of the tire.
These instructions must be followed if vehicle safety and that of those mounting
tires is to be guaranteed. This applies
above all to instructions regarding tire
pressure.
Failure to comply with these instructions
could result in tire damage that may even
lead to tire blow-outs under certain circumstances. This, in turn, could cause traffic
accidents involving damage to property
and/or personal injury (see also page 5).

All types are in compliance with DOT4) regulations and are marked accordingly.

Load capacity and speed


When determining the minimum tire size necessary for the axle of a vehicle, the authorized weight and the maximum design speed
of the vehicle should always be used as a
basis. Trailers first coming into service on or
after January 1, 1990 must be equipped with
tires suited for maximum speeds of at least
100 km/h, unless the trailer is clearly marked
for a lower speed. The socalled tolerance
catalogue must also be taken into consideration here. Nominal load capacity = 100%
load, as the load index also indicates *).
Reference speed
This is the speed assigned as per nominal
load capacity of the tire. The load capacity
can be exceeded when the vehicle, due to its
construction, has a lower maximum speed
and vice versa (see the tables on page 12
and 13).

Mixed fitment
(radial/crossply) While it is allowed for a vehicle weighing more than 2.8t to be fitted
axlewise with tires of different construction,
it is recommended that tires of the same
construction be mounted in all wheel positions.
Rims
Only the specified rims may be mounted on
new commercial vehicles series. Tapered
bead seat rims with a diameter of 16" or less
should be equipped with safety shoulders
(e.g. round hump) if tubeless radial tires are
fitted on them. The rim sizes printed in bold
type in the table from on page 36 are optimal
Continental sizes with respect to service life,
wear pattern and durability.
Wheels
The load capacity must be adequate in all
cases.

Inflation pressure
The inflation pressures indicated in the tables
are minimum values given for reference purposes. All inflation pressures apply to the
cold tire, i.e. the state in which the tire is
in after having stood outdoors for several
hours, not exposed to intense sunlight.
M+S tires
May be mounted on commercial vehicles
whose construction allows for a higher maximum speed than approved for the tire if the
tires lower approved speed is clearly posted
in the vehicle in the drivers field of vision
(e.g. sticker on the instrument panel).

Now a numerical code the load index (LI)


is used to exactly indicate the tires load carrying capacity. See also page 6 and 8.
A speed symbol (SI) is used to designate the
speed rating of the tire, as shown in the
representation below.
The use of the LI and SI was prompted by
the introduction of ECE*) regulation no. 54
and the EU tire directive for Europe (in force
as of January 1, 1993), according to which
pneumatic tires intended for road use at
speeds in excess of 80 km/h must carry an
operational designation comprising LI (single/
dual) and SI. Alongside the nominal opera
tional designation a tire may also bear an
additional operational designation, e.g. with a
lower LI and an SI for higher speeds. These
specifications have to be encircled.

the tire.
Load capacities
are given in kgs (weight in the sense of
mass)
Dual-tire spacing
Maintaining the minimum spacing distance
ensures that the two tires in a dual fitment
arrangement function without any infringing
the ETRTO standards providing the tires are
not fitted with chains.
In the course of development, a variety of
designations for tire dimensions have been
introduced, some of which are used concurrently. The following combination is most
frequently used: tire width in mm, then H : W
(height : width) in % and finally the codes for
the tire construction for example R for
radial and - for crossply and the nominal rim diameter.
When planning vehicle wheel space, automotive designers must proceed on the basis of
the maximum values for tire width and outer
diameter, taking into account the tires static
and dynamic deformation. In this way they
ensure that all standardly approved tires will
fit in all cases. If this is not possible in exceptional cases, appropriate measures are to be
taken to exclude any possible risk to safety.

1) Dual-tires = 2 x single load capacity


2) A sign indicating the max speed must be attached to trailers restricted to speeds below 100 km/h (62 mph).
3) Ask the tire manufacturer about these applications.
*) On M-, N- and P-tires can be interpolated in steps of 1.25 mph (2 km/h) from 87 mph (140 km/h) upwards.
Tires with SI ratings P and Q under full load at speeds of over 140 km/h should be inflated an extra 0.1 bar for
every excess 10 km/h.
No excess loads are applicable over 65 km/h for tires on heavy trailers (with laden weight > 3.5 t).

The multipliers cited are to be used for an operating pressure of up to 10 bar.


Example: In the case of a K-rated tire (110 km/h) and nominal inflated pressure of 7.5 bar, the
inflation pressure can be increased to 8.85 bar if the vehicles maximum design speed
is set at 40 km/h (1.18 x 7.5 bar) to exploit an increased load capacity of 115%
of nominal load capacity.

Wheels and rims

Offset
The offset is the distance from the centre of
the wheel to the inside surface of the wheel
disk on the hub. The wheel insertion depth
can be positive, negative or zero.
The insertion depth not only ensures adequate space for the brake drums, it also determines drive characteristics, tracking width,
steering swivel, pin offset and wheel bearing
guidance. In the case of twin tire fitment, the
insertion depth also influences the distance
between centres.

Regrooving recommendations

Although tires can be retreaded after reaching the legal wear limit, regrooving is not
advisable in every case. The tread stock
thickness is reduced and stones etc. can
more easily penetrate and damage the steel
belts, leading to rust formation. This has
decidedly negative effect on the tires suitability for remoulding.

2.0 mm of
under tread

Example:
Tire size

315/80 R 22.5

Original tread depth of new tire

20,0 mm

Additional tread as a result


of regrooving

4,0 mm

Regrooving should be carried out by an expert, in order to avoid premature failure as


well as any reduction in the tires suitability
for retreading.
Regrooved tires must not be used on driving
axles of coaches with extended speed limit
of 100 km/h.

All Continental tires on which regrooving


ispermitted are marked regroovable.

Kontakte, Adressen

The best time for regrooving is when the


tread is worn down to about 3 mm. The tire
must then be checked to make sure the wear
is even all round. Attention should be paid to
local or uneven wear patches.

In order to further increase the service life,


all-steel truck tires can be regrooved. Un
derneath the additional tread depth gained
by regrooving a tread stock of 2 mm must
remain.

Transporter-Reifen 1317

As part of their design all-steel truck tires


have a so-called tread stock between the
upper edge of the belt and the tread grooves. This tread stock is intended to prevent
stones etc. penetrating into the steel belt
and the casing.

Regrooving recommendations

The additional tread depth of up to 4 mm


gained by regrooving means a significant increase in performance.
As part of their design all-steel truck tires
have a so-called tread stock between the
upper edge of the belt and the tread grooves. This tread stock is intended to prevent
stones etc. penetrating into the steel belt
and the casing.
In order to further increase the service life,
all-steel truck tires can be regrooved. Un
derneath the additional tread depth gained
by regrooving a tread stock of 2 mm must
remain.
Although tires can be retreaded after reaching the legal wear limit, regrooving is not
advisable in every case. The tread stock
thickness is reduced and stones etc. can
more easily penetrate and damage the steel
belts, leading to rust formation. This has
decidedly negative effect on the tires suitability for remoulding.
The best time for regrooving is when the
tread is worn down to about 3 mm. The tire
must then be checked to make sure the wear
is even all round. Attention should be paid to
local or uneven wear patches.

Regrooving should be carried out by an expert, in order to avoid premature failure as


well as any reduction in the tires suitability
for retreading.
Regrooved tires must not be used on driving
axles of coaches with extended speed limit
of 100 km/h.
All Continental tires on which regrooving
ispermitted are marked regroovable.

Technical Data Book Maintenance and care

Maintenance and care

Storage
Unused tires should be stored in cool, dry,
dark and lightly ventilated rooms. Tires which
are not fitted on rims should be stored standing up. Avoid contact with fuel, lubricants,
solvents and chemicals.
Should tires, tubes and bead flaps need to
be stored temporarily, they may age more
quickly and develop cracks if they are ex
posed to intense sunlight or extreme heat.
Effective air circulation accelerates this process.
Inner tubes may be particularly affected if
their packaging is damaged.
Fitting the tire
Before demounting a tire, unscrew and remove the valve insert; then wait until all the
air has been allowed to escape. If a tubetype tire is fitted with an angled valve as per
DIN 7786-80 GD 80, unscrew the valve stem
and wait until the escaping air ceases to
make a noise before removing the tire.
Particular care should be taken when fitting
the tire. Only rust-free rims of the right size
should be used. These should not be damaged or show any signs of wear and tear. The
loose flange side should be examined with
great care.

112

Always use new rubber tubeless valves or


new inner tubes and flaps on new tires or
new seals for tubeless metal valves.
Take special care after tire repairs: inner tubes
stretch in use and may form dangerous folds
when re-fitted. If in doubt, always fit new inner
tubes in order to avoid tube failure.
It is particularly important with large tires that
these should already fit on the rim flange
with as little tire pressure as possible. See
also WdK-Guideline 104, where detailed fitting recommendations are given.
As a guide:
When fitting, do not exceed 150% of the
maximum standard tire pressure. Under no
circumstances must 10 bar be exceeded.
Use only recommended fitting tools and
equipment.
Should the tire bead be jammed on the rim
and the pressure be high, the bead may get
damaged or even destroyed.
With tube type tires, check that valves still
move freely after the filler nozzle has been
removed. This is important for later tire pressure checks under difficult conditions.
Fast-running wheels should be balanced statically and dynamically to ensure smooth
running.

Fitting the wheel on to the vehicle


Vehicle axle data such as toe-in, king pin
inclination and castor as well as axle alignment must be checked and if necessary
adjusted to within tolerances.
Only then should the wheel be fitted.
When fitting make sure that the axle hub is
perfectly centred. Extra care is necessary
with large, heavy tires which do not have
special centering.
If necessary re-balance the wheel when it is
fitted on the vehicle.
Always remember to check that the valves
move freely and are easily accessible. Valve
extensions are necessary for dual tires.
The free movement and easy access of the
valves, even when they have become dirty
in operation are necessary for checking the
tire pressures.
Valve caps, preferably high pressure type,
must be fitted.
On rolling road testers where the vehicle performance is examined, restrictive testing regulations must be observed: depending on
the roller diameter only short tests may be
carried out and these always below maximum speed.

The use of different tire designs on each axle


should be a rare exception. Where vehicles
are being used on the highway, minimum
tread depths as specified in the latest national regulations must be observed. For motor
vehicles, trailers or semitrailers it is essential
that tires of the same construction are fitted
to the same axle.
Minimum tread depth
The legal minimum tread depth is 1.0 mm
and must cover the complete width and circumference of the tread. The depth should
be measured in the tread groove with the
tread wear indicator (the area with the indicator should not be taken).
Vehicle in operation
The tire pressure must be correct. Otherwise poor vehicle handling and pronounced,
irregular tread wear are inevitable.
If pressure is insufficient, the rolling resis
tance will increase and with it the fuel consumption. Hidden defects in the tire may also
occur which later lead to tire failure.

If a vehicle has the same type of tires on all


round e.g. radial tires, this will guarantee
optimum driving characteristics and maximum driving stability.

113

Maintenance and care

The pre-condition for successful maintenance and care is the correct choice of tire,
in accordance with the recommendations of
the tire manufacturer. See also previous sections on this subject.

Technical Data Book Maintenance and care

Tire inflation pressures specified by vehicle


and tire manufacturers are contained in the
vehicle manual and, for instance, on the vehicle mud guard. These may vary with different loads and service conditions, and must
be adjusted before commencing a journey.
Specified tire pressures always apply to
cold tires. It is quite normal for the pressure
to increase as the tires warm up during
driving. Do not reduce pressure when the
tires are hot.
Never use different tire pressures for the
same axle.
The tire pressures recommended for a vehicle by the manufacturer may differ depending on different load an service conditions.
Pressure checks must be made when the
tires are cold. An increase in tire pressure
during running is normal and must never be
re-adjusted. Continental can supply mudguard tire pressure stickers on request.
The spare wheel should be inflated to at least
the maximum inflation pressure given in the
vehicle manual. Remember to always include
the spare wheel when checking tire pressures.
A balanced, even style of driving reduces the
strain on the tires. Every hasty reaction on
the accelerator, brakes or steering shortens
the life of the tires.
The same also applies of course to all other
forms of peak strain such a servere scuffing
of the tire along the kerb or driving over
obstacles that may be in the road. These can
all result in damage to the tires construction.

114

Strain on the tire should be avoided. This


has the same effect as insufficient pres
sure.
Do not exceed the tires permitted maximum speed, otherwise tire damage is inevitable.
Maintenance and care of the
vehicles tires
The high standard of quality of the tires and
vehicle, which is achieved by the measures
and recommendations stated above, can
only be ensured by regular checking of all
factors.
For example, pressure checks and external
inspections of the tires (including the sidewalls to the inside of the vehicle and between
dual tires).
Pressure checking devices and small replacement parts such as valve inserts, caps
and extensions should always be close at
hand.
Tires age as a result of physical and chemical processes and this may impair their performance.
Tires, which are fitted to mainly stationary
vehicles or those which are not used regularly, are particularly prone to premature
ageing.
