The problem is that shite like this fricks up the market for everyone. Like it or not California is a gargantuan consumer market and they drive product decisions.

That is on tire companies, they can simply ignore it. If they band together, California cannot do a thing. Same as oil companies leaving the state.

These companies are more powerful than the state of California and they need to flex.

California is non-negligible market share for basically every company in the US. No publicly traded company is going to lop off a chunk of their market on principle.

Tire companies love people forced to buy more tires.

What the collateral laws that happen with it.

“You must increase braking distance”
——result: it will take an hour longer to get home in LA


“Speed limit decreased”
——business deliverables and profitability decrease

They have to control everything, why? To tax your arse this isn’t about the environment this is to create more endless bureaucracy and regulations to tax you and tire manufacturers.

The date of that tweet is 4 June. They already passed it. Dumb frickers in Cali get what they (stolen elections) voted for.

The fact O&G are leaving California proves this false.

Like our Brit friend pointed out, they will also have to manufacture twice as many tires because they will only last half as long. Typical dumbass liberal emotional decision making!

Could they be doing this to manufacture more accidents, cause increases in insurance rates, to reduce private automobile ownership, and enforce a mass transit system?

I posted this weeks back.

Avg set of tires going to go up like 300 bucks and need to be replaced more often.

All in the name of the environment bc less drag/tread gets a couple of miles more per tank of gas.

Forget the fact that there is going to be tons more waste from this along with more shipments, thus more 18 wheelers transferring tires, etc...

Libs are dumb

California Democrats are preparing to ban essentially ALL after market tire


If that was enacted in Louisiana the 50 tire repair shops on Florida Blvd.between Eugene Street and Oneal Lane would be out of business.

If they made everyone in the state ride a unicycle they could cut the concern by 75% and finally outlaw gasoline.

Sliding around on hard compound and shallow-tread tires is for real, especially in the rain. How are the car insurance rates in CA by the way?
