Craftsman 123.24201 - Manual (Page 25)

Carcass: The tire structure, except treacTand sidewaii rubber wlticb, when inflated,
bears the load.
Chunking: The breaking away of pieces of the tread or sidewall
Cold itifialion prcs.sure: The pressure in the lire before you drive
Cord; The strands forming the plies in the tire
Cord separation: The parting of cords from adjacent rubber compounds
Cracking: Any parting within the tread, sidewall, or inner liner of the tire
extending to cord material,.
CT: A pneumatic tire witli an inverted flange lire and rim system in which the i im
is designed with rim flanges pointed radially inward and the tire is designed to fit
on die underside of the rim in a manner that encloses the rim flanges inside the air
cavity of the tire,.
Curb weight: The weight of a motor vehicle with standard equipment including
the maximum capacity of fuel, oil, and coolant, and, if so equipped, air conditioning
and additional weight optional engine
Extra load tire: A tire designed to operate at higher toads and at higher inflation
pressures than the corresponding standard tire.
Groove: The space between two adjacent tread ribs.
Inner liner: The layer(s) forming the inside surface of a tubeless tire that contains
the inflating medium within the tire
Inner-liner Separation: The parting of the inner liner from cord material in the
carcass.
Intended outboard sidewall The sidewall that contains a white-wall, bears white
lettering or beats manufacturer, brand, and/or model name molding that is higher or
deeper' than the same molding on the other sidewall of the lire or the outward facing
sidew'all of an asymmetrical tire that has a particular side that must always face
outward when mounted on a vehicle.
Light truck (LT) tire: A tire designated by its manufacturer as primarily intended
for use on lightweight itudes or multipurpose passenger vehicles.
Load rating: The maximum load that a lire is rated to carry for a given inflation
pressure.
Maximum load rating: The load rating for a tire at the maximum peimisstble
inflation pressure for that tire
Maximum permissible inflation pi es.sure: The maximum cold inflaiioii pressure
to which a tire may be inflated
Maxirrtum loaded vehicle weight: The sum of curb weight, accessory weight,
vehicle capacity weight, and production options weight.
Measuring rim: The rim on which a tire is fitted for plwsical dimension
requirements.
Non-pneumatic rim: A mechanical device which, when a non-pneumatic tire
assembly incorporates a wheel, supports the tire, and attaches, either integrally or
separably, to the wheel center member and upon which the tire is attached,.
Non-pneumatic spare tire assembly: A non-pneumatic tire assembly intended
for temporary use in place of one of the pneumatic tires and rims that are fitted to a
passenger car in compliance with the requirements of this standard.
Non-pneumatic tire: A mechanical device which transmits, either directly or
through a wheel or wheel center member, the vertical load and tractive forces from
