The U.S. Tire Industry Association (TIA), one of the leading global authorities on tires, said Wednesday that it opposed petition to limit imports of Chinese-made tires.

The TIA announced their opposition to the proposal before the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), saying that would limit the import of Chinese-made passenger and light truck tires, according to a TIA statement released Wednesday.

"The association feels strongly that this measure, despite being well-intentioned, would not help in the preservation of manufacturing jobs, and would be harmful to consumers, as these tires are often an affordable solution to those drivers with limited budgets," the statement said.

The association also reiterates its long-standing position that all tires, regardless of country of origin, must be held to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
