Overview: The Nokian Heavy Tyres Technical Manual version 9.0.1 provides detailed specifications and load capacity values for Nokian TRI 2 and Forest Rider series tires, focusing on their performance and limitations in special applications such as trailers.

1. Nokian TRI 2 Trailer Applications: This section details load capacities for various tire sizes used in trailer applications. Load capacities are presented in tables, showing values in kilograms and pounds at different inflation pressures (0.8 bar to 4.0 bar) and speeds (10 km/h to 65 km/h).

Key Tire Sizes and Specifications:

340/80R18 TRI 2 138 D TL: Load capacities range from 1420 kg at 10 km/h with 0.8 bar to 4040 kg at 65 km/h with 4.0 bar.
360/80R20 TRI 2 143 D TL: Load capacities range from 1620 kg at 10 km/h with 0.8 bar to 4540 kg at 65 km/h with 4.0 bar.
400/80R24 TRI 2 144 D TL: Load capacities range from 2080 kg at 10 km/h with 0.8 bar to 4860 kg at 65 km/h with 4.0 bar.
480/80R38 TRI 2 161 D TL: Load capacities range from 3440 kg at 10 km/h with 0.8 bar to 7900 kg at 65 km/h with 4.0 bar.
600/65R38 TRI 2 166 D TL: Load capacities range from 4040 kg at 10 km/h with 0.8 bar to 8850 kg at 65 km/h with 4.0 bar.

2. Nokian Forest Rider Series: This section provides specifications for various tire sizes used in special applications, detailing load capacities at different inflation pressures (0.8 bar to 5.5 bar) and speeds (10 km/h to 50 km/h).

Key Tire Sizes: Includes 650/65R38, 650/65R42, 650/45R24.5, 600/55R26.5, 710/45R26.5, 800/50R26.5, 600/60R28, 600/70R30, 600/65R34, 710/55R34, 650/85R38.

Inflation Pressure and Speed Limits: Each tire size has a specified maximum inflation pressure and top speed, crucial for safety and performance. For example, the 650/65R38 tire has a top speed of 50 km/h and a maximum inflation pressure of 4.0 bar.

Conversion Tables: Includes conversion tables for pressure (bar to psi) and speed (km/h to mph) to facilitate international use.

Critical Information:

Safety Notices: Emphasizes the importance of adhering to top speed and maximum inflation pressure limits to prevent tire failure.
Load Capacity Variations: Highlights the need for precise adjustments based on specific use cases due to significant variations in load capacity with changes in inflation pressure and speed.

Conclusion: The manual provides comprehensive data on the load capacities of Nokian TRI 2 and Forest Rider tires, essential for ensuring optimal performance and safety in trailer and special applications. Adhering to specified load limits and inflation pressures is crucial for maintaining tire integrity and vehicle safety.
