Text prepared by the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) to clarify the test procedure of the second load/speed performance test used for tires designed for speeds above 240 km/h for tires (as identified by the letter code “V” or “Z” in the size designation).

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.

Proposal to extend the scope of the regulation to include vehicle categories L6 and L7 (quadricycles and all-terrain vehicles). Since the present scope refers only to L1 through L5, the proposal would replace this with “two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles” and add that the regulation does not restrict the use of tires approved under the regulation to vehicles defined as category L.

Presentation concerning all-terrain tires pursuant to the proposal to include provisions under UN R75 to enable the type approval of such tires.

Proposal to amend the tyre dimension requirements. The current rules for calculating the dimensional limits are not consistent among the UN Regulations for tyres and within the Regulations themselves. Hence they lead to uncertainty in the correct calculation. The current proposal aims at unifying the calculation rules to those used in ISO 4000-1 and all major tyre standards, e.g. ETRTO, Tyre & Rim Association (T&RA), Japan Automobile Tyre Manufacturers Association (JATMA).

Proposal to correct a mistake in Supplement 17 to UN R75 (adopted document WP.29/2017/8). Annex 7, Paragraph 1.2., Footnote 1 should refer to UN R54, not UN R106.

ETRTO report on the study on the Dimensional Requirements for tyres with radial or run flat structure after having performed the load speed endurance test. ETRTO proposes to amend the UN Regulations No 30, 54 [and 75] by removing the requirements for tyres with radial and run flat structure.

Proposal to explicitly allow other technical measurement solutions of the tyre overall width by removing the words “by calliper”, add the definition of “special tyre”, clarify the definition of “snow tyre”, to enable the case of a “special tyre” fulfilling the definition of a “snow” tyre, clarify application of the suffix “M/C”, and make editorial corrections and clarifications.

Editorial amendment to align the definition of “special tyre” with the proposal for the snow tyre definition in paragraph 2.33.

Proposal to

1. Add a generic reference to the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3) in footnote 5.
2. align the categories of use to “normal tyre”, “snow tyre” and “specialuse tyre” in line with UN R30 and 54, to introduce a definition of “normal
   tyre” and consequently make use of the terms “snow tyre” and “special-use tyre” that are already defined
3. reformat Annex 5, Table 7 to present the tyre-size designations in a consistent way and to provide explicitly that tyre-size designations from this table may also be used for tyres in bias-beltedvstructure
4. Include the suffix “M/C” that is defined as mandatory for motor-cycle tyres with rim diameter code 13 and above in the figure illustrating the sidewall markings in Annex 3 and to present the markings in a clearer way
5. Add provisions for the dimensional requirements of moped tyres
6. Add a factor for the centrifugal radius of snow tyres and special-use tyres with a speed category above 210 km/h
7. Give the footnotes in the main body of the regulation an unequivocal number to avoid confusion when referencing to a particular footnote
8. Include several editorial corrections to increase the consistency of the text (e.g. consistent use of the terms defined in section 2, such as “tyre-size designation”, “load-capacity index”, “speed-category symbol”).

The proposal to avoid certifying bicycle tyres as moped tyres.

Proposal superseding GRBP/2026/7 to amend paragraph 1. of UN R75 to restructure the scope provision, clarifying that the Regulation applies to new pneumatic tyres designed primarily for vehicles of category L₁, and to exclude approvals for tyre types designed exclusively for “off road” use marked “NHS”, for competitions, and for bicycle rims according to ISO 5775-2:2021.
