TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This responds to your conversation with Karen Dyson of my staff in which you asked whether you could resell course monitoring tires after having used them to conduct tire tests.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration furnishes these tires to enable you to test for compliance with the Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards. After you purchase course monitoring tires from the agency, they become your property to do with as you wish. There is no prohibition against the resale of the tires after you have completed your testing.
