4 Requirements
4.1 Main parameters of tyres
The size, load index or ply rating, measuring rim, load-carrying capacity, inflation pressure, and permitted rim shall meet the requirements of GB/T 2978 or relevant technical documents of the industry.
Note: The requirement “shall meet the requirements of relevant technical documents of the industry” is applicable to passenger car tyres with any parameter that differs from those in and is not covered by GB/T 2978.
4.2 Peripheral dimensions of new tyres
The overall width and outer diameter of the tyre section shall meet the requirements of Annex A.
4.3 Corresponding relations between speed symbols and the maximum speed of tyres
The corresponding relations between speed symbols and the maximum speed of tyres shall meet the requirements of Annex B.
4.4 Corresponding relations between tyre load index and tyre load-carrying capacity
The corresponding relations between tyre load index and tyre load-carrying capacity shall meet the requirements of Annex C.
4.5 Safety performance
4.5.1 Tyre strength performance
The requirements hereunder are applicable to diagonal tyres, T-type temporary-use spare tyres and radial tyres with nominal aspect ratio of 50 and above. For strength performance test of tyres, the breaking energy at each test point shall be no smaller than that specified in Table 1.

T-type temporary-use spare tyres shall have a minimum breaking energy of 220 J, if the load index is < 76, or 295 J, if the load index is ≥ 76.
4.5.2 Bead unseating resistance of tubeless tyres
The requirements hereunder are applicable to tubeless diagonal tyres, T-type temporary-use spare tubeless tyres and radial tubeless tyres with nominal aspect ratio of 50 and above. For bead unseating resistance test of tubeless tyres, the bead unseating resistance at each test point shall be no smaller than that specified in Table 2.
