DOT/NHTSA RIN: 2127-AL49 Publication ID: Fall 2015 
Title: Part 575.104 Revise to a Specified Treadwear Test Course Route 
Abstract:

This rulemaking would make changes to the treadwear test course in the 49 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) part 575.104, Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) Standards, because of damage due to flooding affecting portions of the current route. This test course is used by tire manufacturers and NHTSA to determine treadwear grades for passenger car tires. Because portions of the route will be inaccessible for an indeterminate amount of time, and there is an immediate need for testing, the agency is adding an alternate route that substitutes different sections of the course for the flooded portion. This change will not compromise the reliability of the treadwear grades, and will not impose or relax any burdens on manufacturers.
