Dear Mr. Cirelli: #This will acknowledge your letter of february 4 1970, to the National Highway Safety Bureau concerning the labeling requirements for motor vehicle tires manufactured prior to August 1, 1968. #Federal Motor Vehicle SAfety Standard No. 109 requires that all motor vehicle passenger car tires manufactured after January 1, 1968, conform to the requirements as cited. I have enclosed a copy of Standard No. 109 and No. 110 with amendments for your reference. #Section S4.3 specifies the labeling requirements. You will note S4.3.1 permits the sale of tires manufactured during the period January 1, 1968 to August 1, 1968, which have a label or tab affixed that incorporates the specified information. Inclusion of information on the invoice does not relive the manufacturer from affixing the proper labeling on each tire. #Sincerely, Rodolfo A. Diaz, Acting Director, Motor Vehicle Safety Performance Service;
