Bill > HRes565

This resolution supports the designation of the week of June 30 through July 4, 2025, as "National Tire Safety Week" in the United States, with a focus on educating American motorists about proper tire care and maintenance. The resolution highlights the historical significance of tire safety awareness, noting that the first such week was recognized in 1938 by the Rubber Manufacturers Association (now the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association). It emphasizes the critical role of tires as highly engineered safety devices that are the only part of a vehicle in contact with the road, and provides detailed information about tire maintenance, including the importance of proper tire pressure, tread depth, and regular inspection. The resolution outlines key recommendations from tire manufacturers, such as checking tire pressure monthly, rotating tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, and visually inspecting tires for damage. By supporting this initiative, the House of Representatives aims to encourage Americans to participate in tire safety events, learn about tire maintenance, and ultimately reduce tire-related accidents, fatalities, and injuries on the road.
