TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in response to your August 11, 1975, request for information on regulations concerning the matching of innertube sizes with motorcycle tire sizes. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 119 (copy enclosed) specifies performance and labeling requirements for motorcycle tires manufactured after March 1, 1975. There are no Federal regulations, however, containing requirements for proper matching of tubes with tires.

Yours truly,

Enclosure

TIPE SAFETY REGULATIONS

Madam or Sir, would you please inform this office how we might obtain any regulations of the Department of Transportation relating to proper tube sizes for particular tire sizes.

We are interested specifically in motorcycle tire regulations with regard to the size of the innertube for a given tire size.

Thank you in advance for your assistance with regard to this matter.
