This is just my opinion, but just because the definition doesn't reference motorcycle tires (or ATV tires for that matter, or the one on my wheel barrow) doesn't negate the fact that motorcycle tires are rubber tires. That definition doesn't comply with the NFPA Manual of Style either, so the definition is definitely flawed.
However, in Chapter 18 of NFPA 13-2013 (for example) tires on racks on tread are covered, so I don't think you really have a problem with design criteria. Larry Keeping From: Sprinklerforum <[email protected]> On Behalf Of David Bitton Sent: July-12-19 4:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Storage of motorcycle tires I am looking at a storage area for motorcycle tires on fixed racks on tread. NFPA 13 excludes such tires from its definition of rubber tires (FM 8-3 does not). I would like your opinion about how to determine protection criteria for this storage? (Miscellaneous storage does not apply.) Thanks, David Bitton, ing./Eng. Quest Loss Control Services Inc.
