Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 11795 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 31, Tyres, rims and valves,
Subcommittee SC 5, Agricultural tyres and rims.
Annex A of this International Standard is for information only.

Introduction
Matching front and rear wheels with different tyre sizes on four-wheel drive agricultural tractors requires accurate
rolling circumference values. The test method to determine rolling circumference outlined below was developed to
follow this requirement. The values thus obtained are not intended for use as levels of performance or quality.
The test speed has been set at typical working speed when the four-wheel drive will likely be engaged and the most
critical match is required. Generally, the four-wheel drive is disengaged at roading speeds. Therefore, the
determination of rolling circumference is not related to the tyre's maximum speed, e.g. 30 km/h or 40 km/h.
Nevertheless, other speeds or conditions may be run provided it is clearly documented in the results.

Agricultural tractor drive wheel tyres — Method of
measuring tyre rolling circumference
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the method for measuring rolling circumference for new tyres, under loaded
conditions, made for use on agricultural tractors and machines, and applies to agricultural tractor drive wheel tyres
in diagonal and radial construction.

3 Definition
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following definition applies.
3.1 rolling circumference of tyre
distance that the (axle) centre of the tyre moves in one revolution of the tyre under the conditions specified in
clause 5
4 Principle
The measurement consists of driving a typical vehicle equipped with the test tyres on the drive axle, on a straight,
level road at a constant speed, and counting the number
