- 5.3In the case of some special vehicles, as listed below, fitted with tyres of class C2 or C3, the ‘table load-capacity variation with speed’ as described in paragraph 3.2.2 of this Annex shall not be applied. In such a case, the tyre maximum load rating to check against the technically permissible maximum axle mass (see paragraphs 3.1.2 to 3.1.4) shall be determined by multiplying the load corresponding to the load capacity index by an appropriate coefficient which is related to the type of vehicle and its use, rather than to the maximum vehicle design speed, and the requirements of paragraphs 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 of this Annex shall not apply.
- 5.4In exceptional cases, where vehicles are designed for conditions of use which are incompatible with the characteristics of tyres of class C1, C2 or C3 and it is therefore necessary to fit tyres with different characteristics, the requirements of paragraph 1.1 of this Annex shall not apply, provided that all of the following conditions are met:
