Dear Mr. Morton: Please forgive the delay in responding to your letter of April 28 1975, concerning tires used on pull brooms.; Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 119, *New pneumatic tires fo vehicles other than passenger cars*, (copy enclosed), specifies labeling and performance requirements for all tires designated for use on pull brooms. This standard applies to all such tires manufactured on or after March 1, 1975. There is presently no requirement, however, that vehicles be equipped with tires conforming to the standard. the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has proposed and is considering the issuance of a new Standard No. 120, *Tire Selection and Rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars*, which would require all new pull brooms manufactured after its effective date to be equipped with tires conforming to Standard No. 119.; Yours truly, Frank Berndt, Acting Chief Counsel
