Dear Mr. White: #This is in response to your letter of January 27 1976, concerning the rim listing requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards No. 109 and 110. #You wish to designate the 15x5.5JJ rim a permissible for use with tire sizes 225-15 and 230-15. You have requested confirmation of your interpretation that you need merely list the rim in a document that is furnished to your dealers, to any person on request, and in duplicate to the Tire Division of the NHTSA. Your interpretation is correct. Please note, however, that this listing must include dimensional specifications and a diagram of the rim, unless each of the association publications referred to in S4.4.1(b) of Standard No. 109 in which the rim is listed already contains such specifications and diagram. #We hope that you will also ensure that this tire-rim combination is listed in one of those publications as soon as is possible. #Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel;
