Dear Mr. Bertman: This responds to your recent letter to this office, seeking informatio on retreaded passenger car tires. You asked for the name of the retreader of a tire with the code letters 'BJE' marked on the sidewall. That retreader is Trio Tire Service, Inc. of Clementon, New Jersey. You also asked if there were any regulations applicable to the retread of radial tires. All retreaded passenger car tires (whether bias or radial) must be certified by the retreader as complying with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 117 (49 CFR S 571.117). I have enclosed a copy of the standard for your information.; Should you have any further questions or need further information i this area, please contact Mr. Stephen Kratzke of my staff at this address and at (202) 426- 2992.; Sincerely, Frank Berndt, Chief Counsel
