Stakeholders meeting on the safety-related aspects of tyre use

In this context, the Directorate General for Mobility and Transport has commissioned a study with the aim to assist the Commission in its assessment of various aspects of the tyre use and quality related to road safety, including where appropriate, recommendations for EU measures. The aspects targeted in the study are the following:

• The role of tyres as an accident factor
• The drivers' awareness and behaviour in relation to the safety role of tyres and their adequate choice and use
• The benefits, particularly for safety, derived from the use of the most appropriate tyres according to the weather conditions
• The minimum tread depth requirements
• The measures that could be effective to ensure adequate choice and use of tyres
• The measures that could be effective to ensure that tyres are used with the correct inflating pressure

Attendance is by invitation only. Organizations intending to participate shall send their request to TNO (www.tno.nl), which is the consultant in charge of the study, to the following address: tyre.study@tno.nl
