GOST 4754-80 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 4754-80 — "Шины пневматические для легковых автомобилей. Технические условия" (English: "Pneumatic tyres for motor cars. Specifications"). The standard sets technical requirements, marking, testing and acceptance rules for pneumatic tyres (tyre casing and inner tubes) intended for passenger cars, small trucks, minibuses and their trailers.

Abstract

GOST 4754-80 (issued 1980, in force from 1 January 1981) defines types, main dimensions and parameters, material and constructional requirements, performance and endurance tests, marking and packaging, transportation and storage, acceptance rules and manufacturer guarantees for pneumatic tyres intended for a wide range of road and climatic conditions. The standard was later superseded by a 1997 revision (GOST 4754-97).

General information

• Publication date: Approved 18 July 1980; introduced 1 January 1981 (date of entry into force); withdrawn/ended 1 January 1999 when superseded by the 1997 version.
• Publisher: USSR State Committee for Standards (Gosstandart); published by the Standards Publishing House (Izdatel'stvo standartov).
• ICS / categories: OKS/ICS classification for tyres and rubber products (catalog listings cite OKS/ICS group 83.160.10 / related rubber/tyre categories).
• Edition / version: Original GOST 4754-80 (1980 edition); later replaced by GOST 4754-97 (1997).
• Number of pages: Approximately 31 pages in common electronic/printed copies.

Scope

The standard applies to pneumatic tyres (both casings and inner tubes) for passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, minibuses and trailers for these vehicles. It covers tyres intended for operation in all climatic regions at temperatures typically from −45 °C to +55 °C and includes provisions for export. The standard sets technical-level indicators for higher and first quality categories.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of tyre types, main parameters and dimensional tolerances (section on nominal sizes and designation).
• Materials and constructional requirements for tyres and tubes (rubber compounds, reinforcement, beads, valves).
• Performance and durability test methods (endurance, load and speed ratings, heat and cold resistance).
• Acceptance rules, sampling and methods of testing for conformity to technical requirements.
• Marking and labeling requirements (manufacturer index, date code, directional arrows for directional tread, designation like "Radial", "Tubeless", speed and load indexes, references to the standard designation on the tyre sidewall).
• Packaging, transportation, storage, operation instructions and manufacturer guarantees.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of automotive tyres and tubes, tyre testing laboratories, vehicle manufacturers, spare-parts suppliers, fleet operators, regulatory and certification bodies and technical libraries use this standard as a historical/specification reference for tyre design, marking and testing requirements relevant to vehicles of categories M1, O1/O2 and related light vehicles. It is also used when reviewing legacy tyre specifications and conformity documentation.

Related standards

GOST 4754-80 is part of a family of tyre and vehicle standards and refers to other normative documents (testing, measurement and safety rules). It was replaced by GOST 4754-97. Related norms and international/regional regulations cited in successor documents include various GOSTs on test methods and measurement, and ECE/UN Regulations such as R13 and R30 which address tyre marking and homologation.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 4754-80 is a Soviet-era national standard titled "Pneumatic tyres for motor cars. Technical specifications" that defined technical requirements, tests, marking and handling of passenger-car tyres and related tubes.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers tyre types and dimensions, material and constructional requirements, required tests and methods, acceptance rules, marking, packaging, transportation, storage and manufacturer guarantees for tyres intended for passenger cars and similar light vehicles.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Tyre manufacturers, vehicle OEMs (for compatibility with legacy tyres), testing laboratories, spare-parts distributors, fleet managers and regulators consulting historical or legacy specifications.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: GOST 4754-80 is superseded; it was replaced by GOST 4754-97 (registered 1997) and taken out of active effect in favor of the later revision (withdrawn as the active standard on 1 January 1999 when the 1997 standard entered into force).

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it belongs to the series of tyre-related standards and technical specifications used in the USSR/Russian system; later revisions and related GOSTs expand coverage (e.g., the 1997 revision) and reference other measurement and testing GOSTs and international vehicle tyre regulations.
