Proposal to include ATV tires in the motorcycle and moped tire regulation in order to enable the type approval of tires designed to equip quadricycles covered by the new Regulation (EU) No. 168/2013 of 15 January 2013 on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles (L category vehicles). These tires may also equip some agricultural tractors (SbS vehicles) covered by the new EU Regulation.
34. The expert from ETRTO presented GRRF-78-42 supporting ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2013/20 as amended by GRRF-76-06 as well as ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2013/22 aimed at inserting All Terrain (AT) tyres in UN Regulation No. 75.
35. The expert from IMMA recalled GRRF‑76‑38 analysing the possible alternatives to type approve AT tyres, taking into account the technical requirements in UN Regulations Nos. 54, 75 and 106. He introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/24 proposing the insertion of AT tyres in UN Regulation No. 106 as an alternative to the ETRTO proposal above.

The secretariat was requested to submit them to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2015 sessions as draft Supplement 12 to UN Regulation No. 106 and Supplement 15 to UN Regulation No. 75, respectively.
25. The expert from ETRTO presented GRRF-76-25, supporting ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2013/20 amended by GRRF-76-06 as well as ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2013/22 [concerning UN R106] and proposing the insertion of All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) tyres in UN Regulation No. 75.
26. In response to the proposal above, the expert from IMMA presented GRRF-76-41 supporting the insertion of provisions for ATV tyres in UN Regulation No. 106. GRRF agreed to revisit this subject at it September 2014 session on the basis of a revised proposal that the experts from IMMA and ETRTO agreed to prepare.
32. The expert from ETRTO introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2013/20 and sought guidance. The expert from IMMA proposed to collaborate with ETRTO on this subject. GRRF noted, the amendments proposed in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2013/22 were linked to this item.
