equal S1 multiplied by the factor X as specified by the tyre
manufacturer;
and K is taken to equal 0.4.
6.1.2. However, for the types of tyre for which the size designation is given in the
first column of the tables in Annex 5, the theoretical rim width (A1) and the
nominal section width (S1) are given opposite the tyre size designation in
those tables.
6.2. Outer diameter of a tyre
6.2.1. Except as provided by paragraph 6.2.2., the outer diameter of a tyre is
calculated by the following formula:
D=d+2H
Where:
D is the outer diameter expressed in mm;
d is the conventional number denoting the nominal rim diameter
expressed in mm (see paragraph 2.16.);

6.5.2. The test procedure to assess the resistance of the tyre to burst is described in
Annex 8.
6.5.2.1. A tyre which, after undergoing the relevant test to assess the resistance to

The above approval mark affixed to a pneumatic tyre shows that the type of tyre
concerned has been approved in the Netherlands (E 4) pursuant to Regulation No. 106
under approval number 002439. The first two digits of the approval number indicate that
the approval was granted in accordance with the requirements of Regulation No. 106 in its

(h) For fitting without an inner tube ("tubeless");
(i) Manufactured during the twenty-fifth week of the year 2006 (see
paragraph 3.2. of this Regulation).
The positioning and order of the markings constituting the tyre designation
are as follows:
(a) The size designation, comprising the nominal section width, the
nominal aspect ratio, the type of structure symbol (where applicable)
and the nominal rim diameter, must be grouped as shown in the above
example: 600/55 – 26.5;
(b) The inscription "LS", followed by the number 1, 2, 3 or 4 as
appropriate, is placed after the size designation, as shown in the above
example: LS-2;
(c) The service description (load index and the speed category symbol) is
placed near the size designation. It may either precede or follow it or
be placed above or below it;
(d) The symbols "TUBELESS" and the date of production may be at a
distance from the size designation.

Notes:
1. Agricultural steering wheels tyres are identified either by suffix "Front" placed
after the Tyre size designation ( e.g. 4.00 - 9 Front) or by one of the following
additional markings added to the Tyre sidewalls: "F - 1" or "F - 2".
2. Tyres of radial structure are identified by means of the letter "R" in place of " - " (e.g. 4.00R9)

Notes:
1. These Tyres may be classified in categories of use "Tractor Drive Wheels" or "Implement".
2. Implement Tyres are identified either by suffix "IMP" placed after the Tyre size designation (e.g. 11x4.00 -
4 IMP)or by the word "IMPLEMENT" marked on the Tyre sidewalls.
3. Tyres of radial structure are identified by means of the letter "R" in place of " - " (e.g. 11x4.00 R 4).
4. Coefficient "b" for the calculation of the Overall diameter Dmax:
(a) 1.12 for tyres with Nominal rim Diameter (d) less than 380 mm;
(b) 1.10 for tyres with Nominal rim Diameter (d) 381 mm and above.

The above load/speed variations table does not apply to IF and VF Tyres.
The above load/speed variations apply when the tyre is not subjected to sustained high
torque service.
(+) For field applications with sustained high torque service the values shown in the line
30 km/h apply.

3.6. During the test the temperature in the test room must be maintained at
between 20 C and 30 C or at another temperature if the manufacturer so
agrees.
3.7. The load/speed test programme must be carried out without interruption.
4. Test procedure on a trailer
4.1. Mount two new tyres of the same type on a trailer
4.2. Apply on the trailer a mass in order that each tyre be equally loaded with a
test load corresponding to the load carrying capacity allowed for that tyre
type at 15 km/h (see load variations in Annex 7).
4.3. Run the trailer at a constant speed of 15 km/h ± 1 km/h for 48 hours.

additional run-in of 5 min for every 20 minutes of interruption.
4.4. The tyre pressure must not be corrected and the test load must be kept
constant throughout the test.
4.5. During the test the ambient temperature shall be between 5 C and 30 C or
at another temperature if the manufacturer so agrees.

E/ECE/TRANS/505//Rev.2/Add.105/Rev.2/Amend.6
1. Scope
This Regulation covers new pneumatic tyres* designed primarily, but not
only, for agricultural and forestry vehicles (power-driven vehicles in category
T1), agricultural machines (power-driven and trailed) and agricultural trailers,
and identified by speed category symbols corresponding to speeds of 65 km/h
(speed symbol "D") and below.
It does not apply to tyre types designated primarily for other purposes, such
as:
(a) Earth-moving equipment;
(b) Industrial and lift trucks.
2. Definitions
For the purposes of this Regulation:
2.1. "Type of agricultural tyre" means tyres which do not differ in such essential
characteristics as:
(a) The manufacturer’s name;
(b) Tyre-size designation;
(c) Category of use:
(i) Tractor - steering wheel**;
(ii) Tractor - drive wheel - standard tread;
(iii) Tractor - drive wheel - special tread;
(iv) Implement - traction;
(v) Implement - trailer;
(vi) Implement - mixed applications;
(vii) Forestry machines – standard tread;
(viii) Forestry machines – special tread;
(ix) Construction applications (IND).
(d) Structure (diagonal or (bias-ply), bias-belted, radial-ply);

Notes:
1. Agricultural steering wheels tyres are identified either by suffix "Front"
placed after the Tyre size designation (e.g. 4.00 - 9 Front) or by one of the
following additional markings added to the Tyre sidewalls: "F-1", "F-2" or
"F-3".
2. Tyres of radial structure are identified by means of the letter "R" in place of " - "
(e.g. 4.00R9).
3. Overall diameters (D) in column (*) apply to tyres for industrial service (construction
applications) marked with classification code "F-3" – see paragraph 3.1.8 of this
Regulation. These tyres may be marked with the suffix "IND" instead of "Front".
4. For diagonal tyres marked on the tyre sidewall with classification code "F-1" (see
paragraph 3.1.8. of this regulation), the overall diameter (D) is to be increased by 12 mm.

The above load/speed variations apply when the tyre is not subjected to sustained high
torque service.
(*) For tyres with nominal rim diameter code 24 and above, excluding codes 24.5, 26.5,
28.5 and 30.5, Annex 7, Part A applies.
(1) These percentages apply only in case of tyres listed in Annex 5, Table 7, with
nominal rim diameter (d) 381 mm and above, marked with speed symbol "B".

3.5. The tyre pressure must not be corrected throughout the test and the test load
must be kept constant throughout each of the three test steps.
3.6. During the test the temperature in the test room must be maintained at
between 20 C and 30 C or at another temperature if the manufacturer so
agrees.
3.7. The load/speed test programme must be carried out without interruption.
4. Test procedure on a trailer
4.1. Mount two new tyres of the same type on a trailer
4.2. Apply on the trailer a mass in order that each tyre be equally loaded with a
test load corresponding to the load carrying capacity allowed for that tyre
type at 15 km/h (see load variations in Annex 7).
4.3. Run the trailer at a constant speed of 15 km/h ± 1 km/h for 48 hours.
4.3.1. Temporary interruptions are allowed, but they must be compensated by an
additional run-in of 5 min for every 20 minutes of interruption.

4.5. During the test the ambient temperature shall be between 5 C and 30 C or
at another temperature if the manufacturer so agrees.
5. Equivalent test methods
If a method other than those described above is used, its equivalence must be
demonstrated.
