California sets restrictions on replacement tires

California regulators approved new rules to restrict the sale of replacement tires that do not meet energy-efficiency standards, focusing on lowering rolling resistance to improve fuel and electricity savings. Beginning in 2029, these regulations aim to phase out less efficient tires, with stricter limits set for 2033, potentially excluding around 70% of tires sold in the state by then. The rules are intended to protect consumers from higher costs and are part of California’s efforts to promote energy efficiency, with estimated savings of up to $153 over seven months per driver.
