A vehicle information system28having a processor32and a database34monitors an actual ton-miles-per-hour calculation of the plurality of tires12. The vehicle information system28functions in combination with an electronic control module66of the machine10to trigger an automatic speed reduction should the actual ton-miles-per-hour rating exceed a predetermined limit. The speed reduction may be affected by at least one of reducing a throttle setting, changing a transmission gear and automatic application of the machine brakes.
