Tire registration update: still voluntary

Sept. 9, 2012

There seems to be a lot of potential for change in the Early Warning Reporting regulations. The most recent proposals by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) do not apply to tire manufacturers.

Did tire dealers dodge a bullet? Maybe. This is the second time NHTSA has proposed addendums to the regulations this year. In February, it asked for comments on the collection of information involving tire registration.

Tire registration is voluntary, but that doesn't mean it isn't a bit confusing. To find out what you should -- and could -- do, plus the latest updates on proposed rule-making, read the latest blog from Modern Tire Dealer Editor Bob Ulrich, "For now, tire registration remains voluntary."
