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.
