Amerityre Begins testing of prototype polyurethane car tyres

Amerityre Corporation has been submitting prototype polyurethane car tyres to an independent lab for testing to determine if the tyres comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109, applicable to new pneumatic tyres. FMVSS No.

109 specifies tyre dimensions and laboratory test requirements for bead unseating resistance, strength, endurance, and high speed performance; defines tyre load ratings; and specifies labelling requirements for passenger car tyres. “We have devoted a lot of time and effort these past few weeks trying to get to the point where we felt we could submit tyres to the lab. However, we’re finally there and we are submitting tyres as lab time becomes available,” said Richard Steinke, President and CEO of Amerityre.
