RULES * Canada - Increased weight limits for wide base single tires to go into effect
Ottawa,ONT,CAN -Truck News, by Lou Smyrlis -7 May 2008: -- The Council of Ministers Responsible for Transportation and Highway Safety has approved several amendments to the MOU on Vehicle Weights and Dimensions, including increased weight limits for new generation wide base single tires... The changes are expected to come into effect by July 1, 2008, according to John Pearson Secretary, Task Force on VWD Policy... The Council states in a release that while research shows the new wide base single tire designs offer improvements in fuel efficiency, vehicle roll stability and reduced tare weight as well as reduced impacts on pavement compared to the older wide single tires, they still appear to have "slightly higher impacts than the dual tire configuration they replace if used at dual tire loads"...
