This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) is written to establish tire removal criteria of on-wing civil aircraft tires only. This document is primarily intended for use with commercial aircraft, but may be used on other categories of civil aircraft, as applicable. The criteria are harmonized with the care and service manuals (CSMs) of the tire manufacturers for both radial and bias tires.
Rationale:
This revision clarifies the normal wear removal criteria, adds gear alignment as another possible cause of uneven wear, removes vibration criteria for tire removal, adds tire cold set as a condition, and adds “sidewall” and “inner liner” text boxes and arrows to Figure 1.
