Question 91
Posted by joe on March 17, 2005
I never hear any more talk or read about the “info-chip” that was to be molded into new radial tires.What is the latest discussions or status on this , I think very important product?
At one point in time, B/s, Mich. and G/Year were looking into this new technology. Thanks.
The technology for a smart chip built into tire exists today, however, trucking fleets are not willing to pay the price for this technology.
Question 89

Could you please explain in lay man terms how the new FET tax is charged on new tires for both 14 & 16 ply ratings.
Thanks
FET is 9.450 cents for each 10 pounds of maximum tire load carrying capacity...(max load capacity is written on tire sidewall)
