Proposal for an alternative to the proposal (document GRRF/2015/9) to restore transitional provisions incorrectly deleted by Supplement 6 to the 02 series of amendments.

This proposal is an alternative to that represented in document GRRF/2015/9 and GRRF-79-19.

The overall aim of the study is to propose policy options concerning the use of tyres for improvement of traffic safety. Centrally to this, is the idea that end users need to make the correct assessment in relation to the tyre condition in order to achieve a level of safety as high as possible. Within this context, the tyre condition is considered in relation to technical elements (tyre inflation pressure, tyre tread depth, tyre damage, tyre age, and meteorological influences) and one information element (driver awareness). The study addresses the topics of tyre usage and the impact on road safety (which are the potential safety improvements related to tyre usage from a technical perspective) and how can road users be supported to use tyres that have a better safety performance by policy options.
