specified in 3.3.1 through 3.3.1.3.
3.4.9.2 Traction control. When specified (see 6.2), the vehicle shall be furnished with a
traction control on the rear axle. The traction control shall actuate automatically to ensure that

furnished. Rim and disc wheel sizes shall be the same for all wheels on each vehicle. Tire size
and load range (ply rating) shall be the same for all tires on each vehicle. When specified
(see 6.2), wide base type tires and wheels for the front and rear axles shall be provided in lieu of
conventional front and dual rear wheels and tires. Wide base wheels shall be interchangeable
without the use of an adapter. When specified (see 6.2), disc type wheels shall be furnished.
*  3.4.10.1 Tires. Unless otherwise specified (see 6.2), tires shall be steel belted radial tube or
tubeless type with highway tread. Tires shall be of rated capacity at least equal to the load
imposed on each tire, measured at each wheel, at the ground, with the vehicle loaded to specified
GVW. Tires shall conform to Tire and Rim Association recommendations, or to ZZ-T-381 with
a size designation system the same as the Tire and Rim Association.
