California Pushes Replacement-Tire Rules to Boost Energy Efficiency
TL;DR Summary
California’s Energy Commission has revived a long-dormant bill (AB 844) directing it to adopt a Replacement Tire Efficiency Program so passenger cars and light-duty trucks sold in the state use energy-efficient replacement tires, a move supporters say aligns with energy policy and opponents say will raise costs for drivers. The piece also highlights Nancy Skinner’s appointment to the CEC and past policy positions, portraying the tire rule as part of a broader California Democratic regulatory agenda that has drawn GOP criticism.
