California just approved new replacement-tire efficiency standards — and we’ve got some serious questions.Are these regulators still high from last night’s party? Because these new rules could eventually limit tire choices, reduce availability, and hit consumers right in the wallet.We’re all for safety. We’re all for quality. But when regulations start restricting what tires Californians can buy, that’s overreach — the kind of control we’re trying to avoid.Government rarely seems to help with daily life… it just keeps adding more rules. And these new standards may end up doing the opposite of what they claim — making tires less affordable, not more.Either way, we’ll keep doing what we’ve always done: helping our customers find the right tire for their vehicle, their needs, and their budget.
