The first generation of Triangle tires suffered some reliability/durability concerns on the 725/730 Articulated Trucks. These problems have been resolved with the introduction of the second generation of tires. The new Gen 2 Triangle tires have a June 2005 or later date code. Model 725 730 Effective Serial Numbers B1L473 up B1M380 up
The serial numbers on Triangle tires can be used to determine the date of production. The second, third and fourth digits represent the date code. The second digit is the year of manufacture. The third and fourth digits are the month. Example: Serial Number 64102238401 # 4 represents the year of production, which in this case is 2004. #10 represents the month of the year, which in this case is October. Therefore this particular tire was produced in October 2004. Tires that have a 506 or a greater date code are Gen 2 tires with incorporated improvements.
Tire inflation pressures that are currently listed in the Caterpillar Performance Handbook do not apply for Triangle tires. Instead, use the following charts:
