• Productive capabilites of the 770 truck are such that, under
certain job conditions, TKPH (TMPH) capabilities of standard
or optional tires could be exceeded and, therefore, limit
production.
• Caterpillar recommends the customer evaluate all job
conditions and consult the tire manufacturer for proper
tire selection.
