ATTACHMENT_VI_-_SPECIALTY_TIRES_(PICK_UP_TRUCKS).docx

This document is a tire specification attachment for a government procurement opportunity involving specialty tires for pick-up trucks, specifically focused on refuse/sanitation and extreme service vehicle tires. The specification is primarily for new tire purchases, with a strict requirement for Tier I Premium Tires that are "First Line Quality" and primarily from Goodyear/Dunlop manufacturers. The document outlines detailed technical requirements for tire characteristics, including mandatory features such as radial and tubeless design, optimized tread compound, full-width protector ply, minimum three-steel belt construction, side wall wear indicators, and curb guards. Tires must be specifically designed for all-terrain handling with a load index rating above 100 and a minimum 10-ply rating.

The specification emphasizes safety and performance standards, with a particular focus on Goodyear Wrangler tires or approved equivalents. Vendors proposing alternative tire brands must comprehensively address safety and performance concerns to the satisfaction of the procuring agency. The document requires tires to be manufactured for extreme service applications, suitable for mixed and improved road surfaces, and capable of on/off highway use. While the specific jurisdiction is not explicitly stated, the document appears to be from a municipal procurement process, with strict quality control measures and a preference for premium, high-performance tire solutions designed for demanding municipal vehicle applications.
