Re: American Tire Corporation (the "Company")
Registration Statement on Form S-1
SEC File No. 333-24665
Amendment No. 2 to Application for Withdrawal dated October 23, 1997
Dear Mr. Duval:
In connection with the above referenced registration statement on Form S-1,
the Company hereby amends its request for withdrawal of the registration
statement, without prejudice.
The reason for the filing of the application for withdrawal is that the
Company's obligation to file and keep effective a registration statement
relating to the shares included in the registration statement will expire on
February 14, 1998, and thereafter selling shareholders requesting registration
of their shares for resale may be eligible to resell their shares pursuant to
an exemption from registration.
No shares of common stock being registered pursuant to the registration
statement on Form S-1 were either offered or sold by selling shareholders (the
Company was not registering any shares for sale to the public) while the
registration statement was pending. No sales have been or will be made under
the Registration Statement.
If you have any questions regarding this amended application for withdrawal
please telephone Mr. Elliott Taylor, the Company's counsel at (801) 463-6080.
Sincerely,
AMERICAN TIRE CORPORATION
/S/ Richard A. Steinke
Chief Executive Officer
