Did you know you are supposed to register new tires with each and every purchase?
49 CFR Part 574 puts the burden of tire registration on the retailer from whom you buy your tires ... and it is MANDATORY!!! WHY?!?! Think Firestone and FORD SUV rollover ... RECALL!!! Tire manufacturers need a precise way of letting us know that our tires might be defective requiring replacement. TRR is the only solution.
Tire Recall Registry simplifies the process by making electronic what has been done to date manually! Take a look at our website and bring it to the attention of the tire shop!!

Crash Test Results -- |
URL Overall GOOD
OVERALL EVALUATION: GOOD The driver space was maintained well in the frontal offset crash test, and measures indicate that significant injury was unlikely. Side airbags with head protection, advanced frontal airbag and safety belt systems, an optional stability control system, and daytime running lights are all pluses.
STRUCTURE/SAFETY CAGE: GOOD There was minimal intrusion into the driver footwell area and minimal rearward movement of the instrument panel.
RESTRAINTS/DUMMY KINEMATICS: ACCEPTABLE Dummy movement was reasonably well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head leaned partway out the open side window.
INJURY MEASURES: GOOD Measures taken from the head, neck, chest, and both legs indicate low risk of injury to these body regions.
SPECIAL SAFETY FEATURES:
- Frontal airbags: designed to deploy at one of two force levels depending on the severity of crash and seat belt use; designed to deploy at higher crash speeds when occupants are belted than when they are unbelted
- Side airbags: for drivers' and front passengers' chests; separate side airbags for front and rear occupants' heads
- Safety belts: crash tensioners designed to prevent slack in front belts from allowing excessive forward movement in a crash; devices on front belts designed to limit belt forces on occupants
- Electronic stability control system designed to minimize the possibility of sideways skidding (optional)
- Antilock brakes
- Daytime running lights (programmable by dealer)
