Dear Mr. Lima: This responds to your June 27, 1977, letter asking whether tires tha you export for use on agricultural vehicles are required by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to be labeled with the letters DOT.; The answer to your question is no, unless the tires can also be used o vehicles other than agricultural vehicles. If the tires can be so used, they must be marked with the DOT symbol and meet any Federal requirements applicable to them.; Sincerely, Joseph J. Levin, Jr., Chief Counsel
