Dear Mr. White: #In reply to your letter of May 16, 1972, you interpretation is correct that paragraph S4.3.2 of Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109 requires either the manufacturer's name and his assigned code number, or the brand name and the manufacturer's assigned number to be labeled onto the tire. The code number must appear in either case. #Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel;
