Dear Mr. Nakajima: This is in response to your letter of July 30, 1975, in which you aske whether the uniform tire quality grading requirements for furnishing information to prospective purchasers of vehicles apply to prospective purchasers of vehicles other than passenger cars that may be equipped with passenger car tires. This was asked in light of the fact that the tire quality grading rule itself applies to tires manufactured for use on passenger cars.; We do not consider that the requirements of S 575.6(a) and (c) regarding the furnishing of consumer information to motor vehicle buyers and prospective purchasers, apply to the sale of trucks or other non-passenger- car vehicles where uniform tire quality grading information is concerned.; We recognize that the language of the regulation may not be entirel clear in this regard, and are considering an interpretive amendment to clarify it.; Sincerely, Frank A. Berndt, Acting Chief Counsel
