(Original 03/01/2001) (Revised 07/11/2013)

Foreword—This Administrator's Manual (AM) was developed by the SAE Military/Industry Tire Technology Subcommittee and is intended for military use by all branches of the Department of Defense. It is designed to be used with SAE J2014, (R) Pneumatic Tire/ Wheel/Runflat Assembly Qualifications for Military Tactical Wheeled Vehicles , and contains the information needed to evaluate and measure tire/wheel/runflat assembly and tire/wheel/runflat assembly -vehicle related performance. It contains criteria by which a tire /wheel/runflat assembly will be judged as having passed or failed for these applications. In addition this document includes related references, tactical vehicle mission profiles, and continuing supplier quality assurance provisions.

This specification manual shall remain open for comments and recommendations by the user(s) and shall be reviewed or revised periodically by SAE when necessary to incorporate adopted comments, recommendations, and advancements in government and industry tire technology.

1. Scope

1.1 This manual applies to all combinations of pneumatic tires/wheel/runflat assembly for military tactical wheeled vehicles only as defined in SAE J2013, Military Tire Glossary. This applies to original equipment and new replacement tires/wheels/runflat assemblies and the retread of these tires. The following is a list of appendices to this AM:

APPENDIX A, Tactical Vehicles’ Mission Profiles

APPENDIX B, Quality Assurance Provisions for Tactical Tire/Wheel/Runflat Assembly Procurement Contracts, IS

INCLUDED AS A REFERENCE FOR CONTINUING SUPPLIER QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS.

1.2 This document describes certain minimum requirements to evaluate and measure tire/wheel/runflat assembly and tire-vehicle related performance. The mission profile of the vehicle determines which specific tests contained in SAE J2014, are required and should be selected. Therefore, all of the tests contained in SAE J2014 are not required for each tire.

All of the tests included in SAE J2014 are not required for each tire/wheel/runflat assembly. The Government Tire Engineering Office and Program Office for the vehicle system have the responsibility for the selection of a specific test(s) to be used. The selected test(s) should be limited to that required to evaluate the tire/wheel/runflat system and changes in vehicle performance. Selected requirements of this specification shall be used as the basis for procurement of a tire, wheel and/or runflat device for military tactical wheeled vehicles.

1.3 Selected requirements of this specification shall be used as the basis for procurement of a tire/wheel/runflat assembly for military tactical wheeled vehicles.

Exception:

If test conditions are such that 50% of the reference tires are removed prior to completing 1932 km (1200 mile) and more than 50% of the candidate tires are running, the candidate tire passes. If this condition occurs the test course must be reassessed for validity, prior to running any other mechanical reliability tests on this course. If two or more of the similar failure conditions are present on the reference and candidate tires, stop the test and investigate the cause(s) of the failures.

NOTE—Road hazards are not a failure criteria, whether repairable or not. The test can be continued after the tire has been repaired according to the RMA's repair publications (covering limits and procedures). For purposes of this specification, a road hazard, such as a nail puncture through the tread area will be repaired using commonly accepted practices of the industry. A road hazard that cannot be repaired will not be counted against the candidate tire. Road hazards are defined as repairable or non-repairable penetration(s) resulting in air loss or cutting or penetrating damage to the casing from man-made debris on the roadway (such as nails, staples, bolts, screws, glass, metal fragments, wire, fencing material, etc.)

TABLE 4—FAILURE CRITERIA

This table lists failure modes which cover any fracture, separation, or opening in the internal air cavity (circumferentially or radially) whether in a splice or not, from bead toe to bead toe, and exposed and broken material in the casing structure, exclusive of the sidewall when it is attributable to driver error or road hazard.

APPENDIX B QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS FOR TACTICAL TIRE/WHEEL/RUNFLAT ASSEMBLY

PROCUREMENT CONTRACTS

Foreword—APPENDIX B, Quality Assurance Provisions for Tactical Tire/Wheel/Runflat Assembly Procurement Contracts (IS INCLUDED AS A REFERENCE FOR CONTINUING SUPPLIER QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS)

B.1 Quality Assurance Provisions—These items, as required, should be covered in the procurement contract language for both the original equipment and replacement tires/wheels/runflat assemblies.

B.1.1 Responsibility for Inspection—Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the tire/retread/wheel/runflat assembly manufacturer is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the tire/retread/wheel/runflat assembly manufacturer may use their own or any other facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection requirements specified herein with approval by the military.

The military reserves the right to perform any of the inspections set forth in the specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to assure that supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements.

B.1.1.1 RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMPLIANCE—Items must meet all items of SAE J2014, 4., Technical Requirements, as specified. The inspection set forth in this specification shall become a part of the tire/retread/wheel/runflat assembly manufacturer's overall inspection system or quality program. The absence of any inspection requirements in the specification shall not relieve the tire/retread/wheel/runflat assembly manufacturer of the responsibility of assuring that all products or supplies submitted to the military for acceptance comply with all requirements of the contract. Sampling in quality conformance does not authorize submission of the known defective materials, either indicated or actual, nor does it commit the military to acceptance of defective material.

B.1.1.2 TEST EQUIPMENT AND INSPECTION FACILITIES—Test and measuring equipment and inspection facilities of sufficient accuracy, quality, and quantity to permit performance of the required inspections shall be established and maintained by the tire/retread/wheel/runflat assembly manufacturer.
