ASTM F1922-98(2005)

Standard Test Method for Tires, Pneumatic, Vehicular, Highway

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This test method establishes a standard procedure of comparative testing, for tire durability and treadwear, for the use of approving tires under the Administrator’Cooperative Approved Tire List (CATL) (2).
SCOPE
1.1 This test measures comparative tire durability and treadwear. This test method covers commercially available, over the highway pneumatic tires, new and retreaded, both tube type and tubeless, for use on conventional passenger cars, station wagons, pursuit and emergency high speed and pursuit passenger vehicles, light trucks, medium to heavy trucks, trailers, buses, and similar vehicles normally operated on public roads and highways. This test method also covers commercially available, special application light truck tires for operation on non-improved road surfaces.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

INTRODUCTION
This ASTM Standard has been developed to replace ASTM Provisional Standard PS 63-97. The
provisional standard was approved so that the U.S. military and other government agencies could
continue to purchase tested and qualified tires, until F1922 had been approved. The provisional
standard replaced the government’s specification ZZ-T-381, Federal Specification, Tires, Pneumatic,
Vehicular, Highway, under the former Federal Tire Program. That program was discontinued and is
replaced by the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Command’s Cooperative Tire Qualification Program
(CTQP).Whilefulfillingthemilitary’scommercialandtacticalneeds,theCTQPwillcontinuetoserve
federal, state and local agencies that want to purchase qualified tires using this test method.
This test method is designed to be used in conjunction with the Administrator’s Approval and

Requirements Manual (CTQPF1922) (1), to qualify tires for purchase primarily by the U.S. federal
government, military, and other state and local entities.
