Description

This document proposes to establish new and more stringent tire performance requirements in a new Federal motor vehicle safety standard that would apply to all new tires for use on vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or less. The Administration recently proposed to establish a new tire standard, Standard No. 139, in a December 2001 NPRM on tire safety information.  Today’s document proposes to include the new tire performance requirements in that standard.  This document seeks comments on the proposed new standard, including its applicability and test procedures, modifications to related existing standards, and lead time provided for manufacturers to achieve compliance.  It also seeks comments on the possible future specification of shearography analysis, a technique which evaluates the condition of a tire using laser technology.  Finally, it seeks comments on the Administration’s research plans.
