Independent tire registration group CIMS announced the first recipients of the Tire Registration Seal of Certification that acknowledges U.S. companies that are in compliance with tire registration regulations.
"We are extremely pleased to officially recognize the first of those safety-focused companies that have tire buyers’ interests in mind as they lead the tire registration process," said Susan Kruder, CIMS president. "We intend to recognize more companies who meet the criteria on an annual basis."
Criteria for the certification include companies that are in compliance with existing tire registration regulations, and maintain accurate and up-to-date data on those tires. The recognition is named in memory of the late Paul J. Kruder, CIMS founder, who spent more than 50 years in the tire industry and was instrumental in establishing the tire registration standards that are in place today.
