This glossary of tire military/industry represents the latest state-of-the-art terms and definitions for military use.
This SAE Recommended Practice shall remain open for comments from the reader and shall also be reviewed and updated periodically. Many similar terms and definitions were reviewed from which the ones best applied to military use were selected. It is the purpose of this task force to provide technical definitions in present day use.
Rationale
This SAE Recommended Practice was developed to serve as a supplement to SAE J2014 to assure that terms used by the military and tire and rim industry are commonly understood. This revision is to update the information within the Recommended Practice to reflect current state of the art terminology.
The Tire Committee is organized under the SAE Truck-Bus Council Total Vehicle Steering Committee and has the responsibility to initiate, develop, review and approve the SAE Technical Reports (Standards, Recommended Practices, and Information Reports) related to tires used on medium- and heavy-duty trucks and buses with GVWRs greater than 10,000 lbs. Such vehicles include vans, utility vehicles, trucks, truck tractor combinations, trailers and buses. This scope of work is done on behalf of the Total Vehicle Steering Committee, SAE Truck-Bus Council, the Technical Standards Board, and to serve the best interests of the public.The Tire Committee provides the support, review, and approval of the work of the following tire sub-committees and task forces: Truck Tire Characterization and Military Industry Tire
