For owner-operators
Use the correct tire specifications for your vehicle and duty cycle. An announcement about standards development is not a replacement-tire specification.
For fleets
Keep tire purchasing and maintenance procedures tied to applicable requirements and manufacturer guidance. Monitor the process before changing procurement policies.
FleetMaster takeaway: the release does not establish a final heavy-truck compliance deadline. Do not infer that it requires immediate tire replacement or that every proposal applies to your equipment.
