4011.10 - Of a kind used on motor cars (including station wagons and racing cars):

This HTS category, 4011.10, encompasses new pneumatic tires specifically designed for use on motor cars. This includes a broad range of passenger vehicles such as standard sedans, station wagons, and even racing cars. The key defining characteristic for classification within this heading is the intended application on these types of automobiles, differentiating them from tires intended for other vehicle types.

In contrast to sibling categories, 4011.10 focuses exclusively on tires for passenger cars. For instance, tires classified under 4011.20 are reserved for buses and trucks, while 4011.30.00 is for aircraft, and 4011.40.00.00 is for motorcycles. Similarly, 4011.50.00.00 covers tires for bicycles, and 4011.70.00 pertains to agricultural or forestry vehicles. The critical distinction for 4011.10 lies in its specific application to the motor car segment of the automotive industry.

Within 4011.10, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on tire construction. The subcategories, 4011.10.10 for "Radial" tires and 4011.10.50.00 for "Other" types, reflect important distinctions in tire design and manufacturing. This allows for more granular tracking and statistical reporting of different tire types commonly used on passenger vehicles.
