6.1.3 Maximum permitted speeds with an axle load of over 12 t
(26,500 lbs)
Should your national regulations allow driving with axle loads over 12 t
(26,500 lbs), you may under no circumstances exceed the maximum
permitted speed given here.
The maximum permissible speed depends on the size of the tyres and the
axle load. The following values only apply to the given tyre pressure, and
are maximum values. Also note the information provided by the tyre man-
ufacturer regarding the maximum permitted load duration.
G
Risk of accidents from overloading tyres
Never exceed the maximum permitted speed which is given for the current
axle load and tyre size.
This prevents the tyres from becoming overloaded and bursting.
