4011.10.10 - Radial

This HTS category, 4011.10.10, specifically covers new pneumatic tires of rubber designed for use on motor cars, including station wagons and racing cars. The "Radial" designation indicates that the tire's construction features cords that run radially across the tire from bead to bead, forming a flexible sidewall and a stable tread. This type of construction is standard for most modern passenger vehicles.

Within the broader classification of new pneumatic tires for motor cars, this subcategory is distinguished from its sibling, 4011.10.50.00 ("Other"), by its specific radial construction. While other types of pneumatic tires might exist for motor cars, the "Radial" designation is crucial for correct classification under this heading.

This category is further subdivided based on the diameter of the wheel rim for which the tire is designed. The subcategories, ranging from 4011.10.10.10 (rim diameter of 33.02 cm or less) up to 4011.10.10.70 (rim diameter greater than 45.72 cm), allow for precise identification of tires based on their intended fitment to specific wheel sizes commonly found on passenger vehicles. This detailed breakdown is essential for accurate tariff application.
