California business and drivers protest new tire rules

California has approved new regulations to phase out non-energy-efficient replacement tires starting in 2029, which could reduce the available tire options by up to 70% and increase costs for consumers. Industry experts warn that the price for a set of four tires may rise by several hundred dollars, potentially impacting drivers already facing high fuel and vehicle expenses. Tire shop owners and consumers express concern that higher prices will lead to more used tire purchases and delays in replacing tires. The regulations aim to improve energy efficiency but have faced opposition from industry representatives questioning their cost-effectiveness.
