Last updated: April 2026 dataAircraft tires are a highly specialized segment governed by stringent airworthiness standards set by the FAA and, for foreign-manufactured tires, by the producing country's civil aviation authority under bilateral aviation safety agreements. Unlike automotive tires, aircraft tires must meet Technical Standard Order (TSO) requirements, and traceability documentation — including batch numbers and cure dates — is mandatory for maintenance records. The market is served by a small number of qualified manufacturers, making supply concentration and lead times a persistent procurement concern for MRO operators.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Aircraft tires must conform to FAA Technical Standard Order (TSO-C62) requirements. Imported tires from foreign manufacturers typically require an EASA Form 1 or equivalent authorized release certificate from the country of manufacture, along with traceability records showing batch number, cure date, and conformity to the applicable TSO. Importers should verify current FAA and CBP requirements before shipment.
The aircraft tire market is served by only a handful of manufacturers globally that hold the necessary airworthiness approvals, unlike the automotive tire market with dozens of qualified producers. This concentration means that production disruptions, allocation constraints, or geopolitical events affecting a single supplier can create significant lead-time risk for airline and MRO operators with no easy substitute source.
