3.3.2.1.4 Tires with flaps.

Flaps shall be rolled and placed inside the tire. When the size of the
rolled flap and normal distance between beads assure that flap will
remain in place during normal handling and transportation, no tying is
required. When the size of the rolled flap is such that it will not be
securely held within the tire, it shall be secured within the tire using
twine conforming to A-A-228 or A-A-145 1, or nonmetallic strapping
conforming to ASTM D3950, in such a manner as to assure safe delivery.
When it is too difficult to insert the rolled flap within the tire, it
shall be secured within the tire in the normal installed position. Safe
transportation shall be ensured by securing flaps within the tire using
twine conforming to A-A-228 or A-A-145 1, or nonmetallic strapping
conforming to ASTM D3950.
