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

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.
