STRO
STRO The Scandinavian Tire Rim Organization
founded 1960 and has since its formation worked
towards establishing technical standards for
application within the tyre, rim and wheel
industry. The standards that have been drawn up
by the STRO are based on applicable international
standards, matched to special Nordic
requirements. The STRO works to ensure that
fixed standards are maintained among members of
the Organization The STRO also works towards
spreading common technical information relating
to tyres and rims to users and the mass media.
The STRO cooperates with the relevant
authorities, the automotive industry, and
retailers in the tyre industry. The STRO
includes among its members the combined Nordic
technical expertise in the field of tyre
technology.

STRO Standards
STRO Standards are specifications of
international interest, including future
developments. These standards are based on known
international standards like ETRTO, TRA and
JATMA. Although not exclusive, they are based on
sound knowledge and experience and will enable
users to obtain good service from their
tyres/rims/valves, but as they give only general
advice, they cannot take into account special
conditions of use in every different type of
vehicle.
