California has officially become the first state in the nation to approve energy-efficiency standards for replacement tires. The California Energy Commission (CEC) unanimously voted to pass the new rules, which aim to lower "rolling resistance" on passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks to help drivers save on gas and electricity.
However, tire manufacturers warn the strict new standards could phase out up to 70% of replacement tires currently sold in the state by 2033 and potentially raise prices, while state regulators argue manufacturers have time to adapt and that the rules will save drivers billions overall.
