diversified into a variety of fields including finance,
insurance, iron and steel, real estate, and trade. Today,
Sumitomo is acknowledged as one of Japan’s leading
business groups.

This tire is engineered to withstand the rough, metro
environment with an all steel casing, and to resist punctures from foreign
objects with multiple steel breakers in the tread. The computer designed
tread pattern and special compounds combine to deliver long mileage, and
great traction and stability in all operating conditions.
• Computer Designed Tread Pattern - Maximizes tread pattern for excellent vehicle
stability and traction in all weather conditions.
• Radical Ribs - Outside shoulder ribs that act like traction bars, yet stabilize the tread
for greater stability and long tread life.
• Center Islands with "Bridges" - Gives the traction needed in wet and dry maneuvers,
but has "bridges" of rubber spanning them to control irregular wear patterns, and help
deliver long mileage. These bridges also help control tread squirm during tight turns.
• Multi-Phase Shift Tread Pattern - Minimizes tire noise.
• Curb Defense Ribs - Gives the sidewalls extra protection if rubbed against curbs.

truck tires warnings!
Important: Be sure to read this safety information. Make sure that everyone who
services tires or vehicles in your outlet has read and understands these warnings.
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAN RESULT FROM FAILURE TO FOLLOW
SAFETY WARNINGS.
No Matter how well any tire is constructed, punctures, impact damage, improper inflation,
improper maintenance or service factors may cause serious tire failure creating a risk of property
damage and serious or fatal injury to you and/or your customer.
Encourage your customers to examine their tires frequently for snags, bulges, excessive treadwear,
separations or cuts. If such conditions appear, advise them to demount the tire, use the spare, and
see you immediately. If you spot any of the above conditions, bring them to the customer’s
attention immediately. For safety, comply with the following warnings.
Tire and rim servicing can be dangerous and must be done only by trained personnel using proper
tools and procedures. Failure to read and comply with all procedures may result in serious injury
or death to you or others.
Re-inflation of any type of tire/rim assembly that has been operated in a run-flat or underinflation
condition (80% or less of recommended pressure), can result in serious injury or death. The tire
may be damaged on the inside and can explode while you are adding air. The rim parts may be
warn, damaged or dislodged and can explosively separate.
Use of starting fluid, ether, gasoline or any other flammable material to lubricate, seal or seat the
beads of a tubeless tire can cause the tire to explode or can cause the explosive separation of the
tire/rim assembly resulting in serious injury or death. The use of any flammable material during
tire servicing is absolutely prohibited.
Any inflated tire mounted on a rim contains explosive energy. The use of damaged, mismatched
or improperly assembled tire/rim parts can cause the assembly to burst apart with explosive force.
If you are struck by an exploding tire, rim part or the air blast, you can be seriously injured
or killed.
Re-assembly and the inflation of mismatched parts can result in serious injury or death. Just
because parts come in together does not mean that they belong together. Check for proper
matching on all rim parts before putting any parts together.
Mismatching tire and rim diameters is dangerous. A mismatched tire and rim assembly may
explode and can result in serious injury or death. This warning applies to 14”, 14.5”, 16” and
16.5” tires and rims as well as other similarly mismatched size combinations. Never assemble a
tire and rim unless you have positively identified and correctly matched the parts.
If the tire is 20% below the recommended operating pressure it must be considered flat. The tire
must be removed, dismounted and inspected for punctures or other damage.
mounting and demounting
A tire cannot perform properly unless it is mounted properly on the correct size rim or wheel. The
following are general instructions for demounting and mounting tube-type and tubeless tires. For
detailed instructions on mounting and demounting truck tires on particular types of rims and
wheels, refer to the instructions of the rim and wheel manufacturer or the Rubber Manufacturer
Association (RMA) wall charts.
1. SELECTION OF PROPER COMPONENTS AND MATERIALS:
a. All tires must be mounted with the proper tube and flap (if required)
and rim or wheel as indicated in the application data books.
b. Make certain that rim/wheel components are properly matched and of
the correct dimensions for the tire.
c. Always fit new tube in a new mounting. Since the tube will exhibit growth in size
through normal use, an old tube used in a new mounting increases the possibility of tube
creasing and chafing, possibly resulting in failure.
d. Always install a new flap in a new mounting. A flap through extended use
becomes hard and brittle. After limited time, it will develop a set to match the tire and rim
in which it is fitted. Therefore, it will not exactly match a tire/rim combination. See Section
Five for flap recommendations.
twelve
e. Always install new valve cores, and metal or hard plastic valve caps
containing plastic or rubber seals. On tubeless truck tire valve stems, replace the
rubber grommet. For tires requiring ’O’ Rings, be sure to install a new one at every tire
change.
f. Always use a safety device such as an inflation cage or other OSHA
approved device when inflating. Never stand over tire or in front of a tire when
inflating. Always use a clip on valve chuck with hose extension and stand to
the side when inflating.
2. TIRE AND RIM LUBRICATION:
It is essential that an approved vegetable oil base soap solution tire lubricant be used for
mounting of tubeless and tube-type tires. The lubricant serves the following purposes:
• Minimize the possibility of damage to the tire beads from the mounting tools.
• Eases the insertion of the tire onto the rim by lubrication all contacting surfaces.
• Assists proper bead seating (tire/rim centering) and helps prevent eccentric mountings.
A. TUBELESS TIRES - Apply lubricant to all surfaces of the bead area of the tire.
When applying lubricant to the rim, lubricate the entire rim surface from flange to flange.
B. TUBE-TYPE TIRES - Apply clean lubricant to all portions of the tire bead area and the
exposed portion of the flap using sufficient but sparing quantities of lubricant. Also lubricate
the entire rim surface. Avoid using excessive amounts of lubricant which can become trapped
between the tire and tube can result in tube damage and rapid air loss.
Caution: It is important that tire lubricant be clean and free of dirt, sand, metal shavings or
other hard particles. The particles may lodge between the tube and the flap edges resulting in
splits in the tube. The following practice is recommended:
a. Use a fresh supply of tire lubricant each day, drawing from a clean supply and placing the
lubricant in a clean portable container.
b. Provide a cover for the portable container and/or other means to prevent contamination of
the lubricant when not in use.
We suggest the following method, which has proven to be successful in minimizing contamination
and preventing excess lubricant form entering the tire casing: Provide a special cover for the
portable container which has a funnel-like device attached. The small opening of the funnel should
be sized so that when a swab is inserted through the opening into the reserve of lubricant and then
withdrawn, the swab is compressed, removing excess lubricant. This allows the cover to be left in
place providing added protection. A mesh false bottom in the container is a further safeguard
against contaminants. The tire should be mounted and inflated promptly before lubricant dries.
3. PREPARATION OF WHEELS, RIMS AND TIRES:
Never weld or apply heat to a rim or wheel on which a tire is mounted.
a. Always wear safety goggles or face shields when buffing or grinding rims or wheels.
b. Inspect wheel/rim assemblies for cracks, distortion, deforming of flanges, side rings, lock
rings, etc. Using a file and/or emery cloth, smooth all burrs, welds, dents, etc. that are
present on the tire side of the rim. Inspect the condition of bolt holes on the wheels.
c. Remove rust with a wire brush and apply rust inhibiting paint.
d. Remove any accumulation of the rubber or grease, which might be stuck to the tire, being
careful not to damage it. Wipe the beads down with a dry rag.
e. Make sure there is no water, dirt, or foreign material inside the tire before inserting
the tube.

tube-type mounting
and demounting
Any inflated tire mounted on a rim contains explosive energy. The use of damaged, mismatched
or improperly assembled tire/rim parts can cause the assembly to burst apart with explosive force.
If you are struck by an exploding tire, rim part or air blast, you can be seriously injured or killed.
DEMOUNTING TUBE-TYPE TIRES
1. If a tire has been running underinflated or if any damage to the tire or wheel is suspected, the
valve core should be removed prior to removing the tire/wheel assembly from the vehicle axle.
This is to prevent a possible accident.
2. Before unlocking any side ring or lock ring, remove the valve core and allow the tire to
deflate completely.
3. Remove all rim or wheel parts.
4. Inspect the tire for damages.
MOUNTING OF TUBE-TYPE TIRES
1. Insert the proper size tube into the tire and partially inflate (3 psi) to round out the tube
(with larger sizes it may be necessary to use bead spreaders – see the next two sections for
mounting instructions).
2. Insert the valve through the flap valve hole. (Make sure the reinforced patch which is directly
over the flap valve hole is facing outwards.) Then insert the remainder of the flap into the tire.
3. Check the flap wings to insure against folding. This is easily accomplished by placing your hand
into one tire side, then the other, then running your hand along the entire flap wing.
4. Inflate the tube until the flap is secure against the tire wall and the beads start to spread apart,
making sure not to exceed 3 psi.
5. Apply a proper tire lubricant to both beads and the exposed flap. Make sure that excess
lubricant does not run down into the tire.
6. Place tire, tube and flap on the wheel or rim, taking care to center the valve in the slot.
7. Fit side ring and lock ring, insuring that they are properly positioned, locked, and are correct
for the “fitment.”
MOUNTING OF TUBE-TYPE TIRES USING MANUAL SPREADERS:
1. Follow steps 1 through 3 of the “mounting of Tube-Type Tires”. However, before inserting the
flap into the tire, position two bead spreaders in the following manner:
a. Place the first at a 90° angle to the valve. (Flap is positioned between the spreader and
the tube.)
b. Place the second directly opposite the first.
c. Spread the beads and insert the flap.
d. Close the beads, remove spreaders.
2. Follow steps 4 through 7 of the “Mounting of Tube-Type Tires”.
MOUNTING OF TUBE-TYPE TIRES USING AUTOMATIC SPREADERS:
1. Spread the beads.
2. Inflate the tube to approximately 3 psi.
3. Insert the tube into the tire.
4. Insert the valve through the flap hole. (As mentioned, the flap reinforced valve area must face
outwards.) Insert the remainder of the flap into the tire.
5. Close the beads.
6. Follow steps 4 through7 of the “Mounting of Tube-Type Tires”.
INFLATION OF TUBE-TYPE TIRES
1. An air line with an extension (30” minimum), in-line gauge, and clip-on valve chuck should
be used for inflation. Remove valve core and lay the assembly flat on the ground. Using an
OSHA approved restraining device, inflate to 5 psi to seat beads. While the tire is still in the
restraining device, make sure all rim components are centered and locked properly. If not, the
tire must be deflated, broken down, relubricated and reinflated.
2. Deflate the tire by removing the air line. This is to allow the tube to relax thus eliminating any
wrinkles or uneven stretching that may have occurred during primary inflation.
3. Install the valve core and, using a safety cage or other OSHA approved restraining device,
reinflate the tire to the pressure shown on the sidewall in order to insure proper bead seating.
Then adjust the tire to the proper operating pressure.
4. Reinspect the assembly for proper positioning of all components.
5. Check for leaks and install a metal or hard plastic valve cap.
6. Do not reinflate any tires that have been run underinflated or flat without careful
inspection for damage.
tubeless tire mounting
and demounting
Re-inflation of any type of tire/rim assembly that has been operated in a run-flat or underinflated
condition (80% or less of recommended pressure), can result in serious injury or death. The tire
may be damaged on the inside and can explode while you are adding air. The rim parts may be
worn, damaged or dislodged and can explosively separate.
DEMOUNTING OF TUBELESS TIRES
1. Before loosening any nuts, deflate the tire by removing the valve core.
2. With the tire assembly lying flat, unseat the bead seat of both beads with a bead breaker tool.
Do not use hammers of any type.
3. Apply a proper tire lubricant to the tire beads, rim ledges and flanges.
4. Beginning at the valve, remove the tire using tire irons designed for this purpose. Starting at
the will minimize chances of damaging the bead. Make certain that the flange with the tapered
ledge that has the shortest span to the drop center is facing up. Always attempt to jeep the bead
not being worked by the irons, in the full depth of the drop center cavity.
MOUNTING TUBELESS TIRES
1. Replace valve stem grommet and inspect valve stem for damage and wear.
Replace valve stem if necessary.
2. Apply lubricant according to instructions on page 3.
3. With the wheel/rim short ledge up, lay the tire over the rim at the valve side and work it on
with proper tubeless tire tools, making full use of the drop center well.
4. Do not use any kind of hammer. Bead damage may occur leading to tire destruction and serious
or fatal injury to you or your customer.
INFLATION OF TUBELESS TIRES
Re-inflation of any type of tire/rim assembly that has been operated in a run-flat or
underinflated condition (80% or less of recommended pressure), can result in serious injury
or death.
The tire may be damaged on the inside and can explode while you are adding air. The rim parts
may be worn, damaged or dislodged and can explosively separate.
1. Lay tire/wheel assembly horizontally and inflate to no more than 5 psi to position the beads on
the flanges.
2. To complete the seating of the beads, place the assembly in an OSHA approved safety cage and
inflate to 25 to 30 psi. Check the assembly carefully for proper bead seating and for any signs
of distortion or irregularities from the run-flat.
3. If beads are properly seated, and if no damage is detected, continue to inflate to the
maximum air pressure marked on the sidewall. If beads do not seat, deflate tire, relubricate
the bead seats and reinflate.
4. After beads are properly seated, adjust tire pressure to recommended operating pressure.
Check valve core for leakage, then install a metal or hard plastic valve cap.

 drive axle alignment
Drive axle alignment is very important. Tandem drive axles that are not parallel to each other have
a definite effect on steer-tire wear.

Fig. 1 shows a model of a tandem-drive axle tractor with both drive axles in proper alignment. In
this case, the driver simply steers the truck straight ahead and neither fast wear nor irregular wear
would be expected as a result of the driving axles.

A more severe case is shown in Fig. 2. Here, the drive axles are neither parallel to each other nor
perpendicular to the chassis centerline. The drive axle tires are trying to force the vehicle to turn
left and the driver must compensate by turning to the right. This will result in fast and irregular
wear and, as recent tests have shown, in a much more severe way then the previous case. Tests
also indicate that the steer tire on the same side of the truck, on which the drive tires are closest
together, will wear into an of- condition.
fourteen
vehicle alignment
For best vehicle handling and tire life, proper vehicle alignment is required. For best readings on tolerances for alignment settings when vehicle is unloaded. Before starting, correct any air
alignment settings, vehicle should be loaded. However, many vehicle manufacturers also have pressure differences in tires and make sure vehicle is on a level surface, with brakes off.

drive axle recommendations

Irregular wear patterns on steer axle tires may come from misaligned drive axles and trailer axles, not to mention the obvious
loss of tire mileage, vehicle handling, and fuel economy. Drive and trailer axle alignment is normally set before steer axle corrections
are made.
Drive axles should be aligned in the following manner:
1. Position the drive axles perpendicular to the chassis center line.
2. For tandem drives, the drive axles should be positioned parallel to one another.
Trailer axles should be aligned to the center line of trailer pin at the start of settings.
3. Position axles to be perpendicular to the trailer center line and parallel to each other.

recommendations for long tire life

Inspect tire conditions regularly. Look for signs of sidewall bulges, cracking, cuts and stone retention in grooves. If you have a question or concern, consult
your Sumitomo Tire dealer.
Tire Replacement
By Department of Transportation regulations, any trailer or drive axle tire is to be removed from service when there are only 2/32nds of tread left (or 4/32nds
on steer axle tires) in any tread groove. Sumitomo advises that, as a rule of thumb, tires should be removed at 4/32nds remaining tread to allow better casing
recovery for retreading.
Proper Tire Inflation
It is advisable to check all tire inflation pressures before each trip, or at least weekly. The best time to obtain accurate readings is when tires are cool to the touch, before
any distance is traveled. Consult the air pressure guidelines in this book, refer to the tire sidewall, or pressure charts from the Tire and Rim Association. When speeds are
constantly above 70 m.p.h., it is recommended to use maximum air pressure for good wear and performance. For safety and ease of checking air pressure,
metal flow-through valve caps should be used.
Tire Rotation
Because of vehicle specifications (wheelbase, horsepower, gears, suspension) and terrain, most tires used on drive axles wear faster on the rear drive axle than on the front
drive axle. By cross rotating rear axle tires to front axle, and front axle tires moved to rear axle position, wear can be equally controlled on all drive positions, resulting in
longer miles in service.
Practice Good Driving Habits
sixteen

• Avoid fast starts and sudden stops. • Avoid using only trailer brakes to slow vehicle. • Avoid potholes and debris (safely) if possible.
• Beware of curb location and avoid scuffing sidewall. • Observe a safe speed limit, using posted speeds as guidelines.

Determining Correct Air Pressure

A tire requires proper air pressure to adequately carry the load placed on it. The tires also provide traction for braking and steering.
Since the loaded vehicle weight determines tire inflation pressure, all tire manufacturers offer a load/inflation table to help determine the proper pressure.
These tables reflect values taken from the Tire and Rim Association. In general, use these steps to determine correct air pressure:
1. Always check air pressure when ambient temperature is cold.
2. Confirm if tire will be used in a single or dual wheel position.
3. In either case, determine the total weight that is allowed on the axle. In the case of a STEER axle (using two tires) divide the value by two.
4. Compare this value with the above load inflation table, and use the corresponding air pressure.
Also consider operating speeds. Many tire manufacturers recommend maximum speeds for various tire applications. Consult your Sumitomo representative if you have questions.
Sumitomo has added the above symbols and values to many of its tires. These are to be used when purchasing not only the correct tread design, but the proper size and ply
seventeen

rating suitable for your operation.

The above SPEED SYMBOL indicates the speed that the tire can carry a load corresponding to its load index under normal service conditions suggested by Sumitomo.
The above LOAD INDEX is a code which reflects the maximum load a tire can carry at the speed indicated by its SPEED SYMBOL, based on the service application suggested
by Sumitomo.
 Contour

Theory
sumitomo engineering makes the difference
Minimal Profile Change Before and After Use Improved Durability for Retreadability
After studying tire deformation and the physics of stress distribution in a loaded rolling tire, Sumitomo developed a new way of looking at
a tire design. A tire under the stress of speed and load will experience internal pressure and heat build up which alters the footprint shape.
This change causes uneven wear, reduced casing strength and reduced structural durability-especially after the 2nd and 3rd recaps. Even
at today’s higher speed limits, C.V.S.T. ensures long even wear, excellent stability and multiple retreads.

The “Contour Variance Stabilization Theory” has been incorporated into the design of many of our medium truck radials, controlling casing
stress throughout the life of original tread and multiple retreads. Our tough inner liner and special anti-ozone sidewall rubber compound
keep the casing in service for many years.
