Dear Mr. Robinson: #Thank you for your letter of November 24, 1969, t the National Highway Safety Bureau, concerning our proposed retreaded tire standard. #I appreciate you sending your thoughts on tire safety to our attention since we make a point of being as familiar as possible with the present state-of-the-art of all aspects to tire safety. #The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards do not apply to tires manufactured exclusively for off-road competitive use or to tires retreaded exclusively for off-road competitive use. You are cautioned however, that if the tires are sold for 'street use', then these racing tires will be covered by the proposed standards and would be subject to the requirements. #Sincerely, Charles A. Baker, Office of Standards on Accident Avoidance, Motor Vehicle Safety Performance Service;
