Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use
of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed
patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received
notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are
cautioned that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent
database available at www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all
such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 31, Tyres, rims and valves, Subcommittee
SC 10, Cycle, moped, motorcycle tyres and rims.
This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition (ISO 5775-1:2014), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— new definitions have been added for clarification in Clause 3;
— the symbols and abbreviated terms have been revised in 3.2;
— new requirements have been added for clarification in Clause 4.

4.2.3 Old size marking
To help customers in those Countries where other systems of marking were used, the old size marking
may be separated by parentheses or "/" before or after the tyre size designation.
It is suggested that characters smaller than those used for the designation specified in 4.2.1 be adopted.
See informative Annex A for correspondence between “tyre size designation” and “old size marking”.
Sizes not included in Annex A shall bear the tyre size designation and corresponding nominal size.
4.2.4 Other service characteristics
4.2.4.1 Tubeless marking
Tubeless tyre shall be marked with “TUBELESS” or “TL” on the tyre sidewall.
Tubeless-ready tyre shall be marked with “TUBELESS READY” or “TLR” on the tyre sidewall.
Tube-type tyre may be marked with “TUBE TYPE” on the tyre sidewall.
4.2.4.2 Directional arrow
In the case of a preferred direction of rotation of the tyre, an arrow may be shown on the tyre sidewall
to indicate that direction.
4.2.4.3 Marking of tyres designed for crotchet-type rims only
Tyres designed for crotchet-type rims only may be marked with "MOUNT ONLY ON HOOKED RIMS" or
"MOUNT ONLY ON CROTCHET-TYPE RIMS".

4.2.4.4 Pressure designation
The maximum inflation pressure shall be marked in kilopascals in multiples of 10. It may be marked in
addition in bars and PSI where the PSI value shall be calculated by multiplying the kilopascal value by
0,145 and rounding the result down to the closest integer.
An additional maximum pressure for use on straight side type rims (SS/TSS) may be indicated. See
Table 3 for recommended maximum pressures for straight side type rims.

It is recommended that the deflection of the tyre in use not exceed 30 % of the tyre section height at the
minimum inflation pressure, if it is specified on the tyre.
See example in 4.2.5.
4.2.4.5 Rim line
The rim line is an indicator that may be visible and concentric above the rim sidewall when the beads
are fully seated (see Figure 2). If the rim line is not concentric with the rim edge, the bead is not fully
seated.
