PB1318 3/01 Model 330
Wheel and Tire Replacement for Trucks with
Hydraulic Brakes
General Safety Requirements
WARNING! Do not replace wheels or tires with a
different size than originally installed. The Anti-
Lock Brake System (ABS) is calibrated for the
specific tire revolutions per mile. Use of a differ-
ent tire and/or wheel size may cause the ABS
system to not function during a hard braking
event. This could cause an accident or serious
personal injury. Use the table below to determine
the acceptable range of tire rev/mile.
For proper ABS operation all tire sizes must be within the
appropriate range listed below. A change of tire size may
require that the ABS ECU be changed based on the listed
range of compatible tire revolutions per mile (RPM). Consult
your Peterbilt dealer before using a different tire and/or wheel
size.
CAUTION: No indication will be given via the
dashboard warning lights or buzzer if tires of the
wrong size are installed on your vehicle. See the
warning above for consequences of tires of the
wrong size.
