Dear mr. Reed: This responds to your December 22, 1977, letter asking whether the tir information label required by Standard No. 120, *Tire Selection and Rims for Motor Vehicles Other Than Passenger Cars*, must contain the rim size of the rim that is mounted in the vehicle.; Paragraph S5.3.2. of the standard states that the label must contai 'the size designation and, if applicable, the type designation of rims (not necessarily those on the vehicle) appropriate for those tires.' This paragraph specifically permits a manufacturer to equip a vehicle with rim sizes that differ from those listed on its tire information label.; Sincerely, Joseph J. Levin, Jr., Chief Counsel
