Proposal to amend UN R64 in line with the introduction of the “extended mobility tyre” into UN R30 (see document WP.29/2019/50).

Proposal to clarify the identification, marking and test provisions applicable to tyres designed for speeds above 240 km/h.

Proposal to

1. correct a type in Annex 7- Appendix 2, Part 2, Paragraph 5 where the snow group index should read “1.00”, not “100” as appeared erroneously in the adopted text
2. correct the text where the word “tyres” was inadvertently omitted from Paragraph 2.1.
3. align the provisions of UN R117 regarding approval numbers and markings with the provisions of Schedule 4 to the revised 1958 Agreement.
