The U.S. will implement new standards to improve product access, and I will face new barriers to exporting tires.

According to the China Rubber Industry Association, the United States is set to introduce new tire testing standards starting June 1, 2007. These regulations will require all tires entering the U.S. market to meet updated safety and performance criteria. Tires that fail to comply with these new standards may be banned from entry or recalled if already in circulation. This development signals a significant challenge for Chinese tire exporters, as they now face stricter requirements when supplying products to one of their most important markets. The U.S. has long been the largest export destination for Chinese tires. In 2004 alone, exports to the U.S. surged by 38%, surpassing Japan's long-standing dominance. That year, China exported 22.885 million automobile tires, making up 33% of total tire exports. Among these, 116.629 million passenger car tires were sent to the U.S., accounting for 51% of the country’s tire imports. With such a large share of the market, any changes in U.S. regulations could have far-reaching consequences for the Chinese tire industry. The newly implemented FMVSS139 standards apply to all vehicle tires with a total rated mass of 4.5 tons or less. The key difference lies in the increased rigor of safety tests. For example, the speed test under low-pressure conditions will now go up to 140 km/h, 150 km/h, and 160 km/h—higher than the previous 121 km/h, 129 km/h, and 137 km/h. The durability test will also increase to 4,080 kilometers, a 1.5 times improvement over the previous standard. Additional tests include tire detachment, aging resistance, air permeability, and road hazard assessments. Industry experts suggest that the new standards will have a more pronounced impact on passenger car tires and certain light truck tires, particularly regarding high-speed performance. If Chinese manufacturers do not adapt quickly, there is a real risk of product recalls, which could damage their reputation and market position. Gu Hongzhen, president of the China Rubber Industry Association, emphasized that the U.S. standards and recall system represent a serious challenge for Chinese tire companies. He urged the industry to remain vigilant and take proactive measures to ensure compliance. The association has already organized discussions with key companies to evaluate the potential impact of the new regulations and develop strategies to address them. A consensus was reached among industry stakeholders: to remain competitive, Chinese tire manufacturers must invest in core technologies and improve the high-speed performance, durability, and overall quality stability of their products. This shift will not only help them meet U.S. requirements but also strengthen their global standing in the long term.
