The service rendered by solid tires Ml SI is largely dependent on three factors: Tho Speed at which the vehicle la drien, the load transported and the type or condition of the road over ill ft which the vehicle operates. When Rll determining tire sizes for original equipment, these three Items are. usually us-ually given careful consideration by the truck manufacturers and the correct cor-rect tire size Is carefully estimated.
