The Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA), originally named the Rubber Club of America, was established in 1915 to serve rubber products manufacturers. Since its inception, RMA has evolved and now solely represents tire manufacturers that produce tires in the U.S.
RMA represents its members before federal, state and local government entities; develops safety standards for passenger, light truck and commercial truck tires; advocates for environmentally and economically sound scrap tire management polices aggregates data pertaining to U.S. tire shipments; and, educates consumers about proper tire care, among other activities.
