TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in further reply to your transmittal memorandum and attached letter from Mr. Robert W. Muller, New York, New York, inquiring about consumer information on passenger car tires.

The Department of Transportation does not presently have a publication which would guide the consumer in selecting tires most suitable to his needs.

To provide the consumer with an indication of the performance characteristics of tires, the Federal Highway Administration is obtaining research data and has established Docket 25, Uniform Tire Quality Grading System - Passenger Cars. A copy of the notice from the Federal Register is enclosed.

As soon as a meaningful system of tire quality grading can be developed to assist the public, it will be made available.
