Dunlop Chief Warns California Tire Rules Could Mirror High-Speed Rail Pitfalls

Dunlop Tires North America CEO Darren Thomas criticizes California’s new replacement-tire efficiency rules as rushed and insufficiently tested, urging real-world validation and noting potential price hikes and broader tire-performance trade-offs; he likens the move to California’s High-Speed Rail project and suggests exploring options like tire-pressure management before the 2029 rollout.

Dunlop Voices Alarm Over California's New Tire Rules

California's new tire replacement rules, enacted under AB 884 and enforced by the California Energy Commission, aim to boost tire efficiency and cut emissions but have drawn backlash from Dunlop Tires, which says costs will rise and safety and durability could be affected. Supporters, including former Assemblyman Joe Nation, defend the policy as environmentally beneficial, arguing the rules could remove the equivalent of 400,000 cars in air-pollution terms; critics like Republican Sen. Tony Strickland warn about affordability and burdens on consumers, with concerns also about phasing out budget tires and impacts on tire shops.

California tire rules spark price warnings from Dunlop

Dunlop Tires warns that California's new replacement tire efficiency rules, which phase in a minimum rolling-resistance standard starting in 2029, will raise manufacturing costs and likely push tire prices higher—estimates range up to $157 per tire, meaning hundreds more per vehicle. The policy, intended to cut emissions and save fuel, has mixed support among manufacturers and could hurt smaller brands, while performance concerns such as grip and durability are also raised.

Teravail Flashes Denim Sidewalls, Prototype Stems at MADE

Teravail used MADE to preview two prototype stems (one traditional, one top-loader) with few details on specs or timing, while also showing denim-printed sidewalls on a tire—no release dates or sizes shared. The brand emphasised simple, understated branding and support for independent frame builders in Minnesota, but the exact availability of the stems or denim tires remains undecided.

CA lawmaker pushes for energy-board resignations over tire efficiency mandate

California state Sen. Tony Strickland is calling for the five members of the California Energy Commission to resign over a tire rule that would phase out replacement tires not meeting new energy-efficiency standards by 2029. Critics say the policy could wipe out 70% of replacement tires and raise costs for drivers, with estimates showing tire prices rising from about $81 to as much as $157 per tire (potentially over $300 per vehicle). Proponents say the rule will save fuel, while Strickland argues unelected bureaucrats have too much power and should face voters, highlighting the governor’s role in appointing the commission as part of the political backlash.

California tire rules may shrink budget options and raise costs

California regulators approved replacement-tire efficiency standards to boost energy savings, setting rolling-resistance limits at 9.1 N/kN in 2029 and 7.2 by 2033. While the Energy Commission projects small per-tire cost increases and fuel savings, industry voices warn many budget tires could be phased out, reducing choice and potentially raising prices for everyday drivers. Critics also worry lighter, more efficient tires could affect safety, especially for households already struggling financially.

California Tightens Tire Rules to Boost Efficiency, Shrinking Choices

California's Energy Commission unanimously approved a rule requiring most replacement tires sold in the state to meet rolling-resistance levels close to the original equipment, significantly narrowing available options (about 70% of current tires would no longer qualify). The regime phases in from 2029 to 2033, with per-tire costs rising from roughly $1.50 to $6.50, offset by projected gasoline savings (about $179 per tire set under certain gas-price assumptions). Exceptions include used, motorsport, snow, motorcycle, and large off-road tires. Critics, including Goodyear, warn costs could be higher than government estimates. A new leaf-rating system will signal tire efficiency. No public vote occurred, and other states are watching as California’s standards could spread.

California Launches First-Ever Rules for Aftermarket Replacement Tires

California's Energy Commission approved the Replacement Tire Efficiency Program, creating the nation's first rules governing aftermarket replacement tires with exemptions for specialty tires; the plan is phased in starting in 2029 with stricter standards in 2033, and is expected to save drivers nearly $1 billion and reduce CO2 by about 2 million metric tons annually, amid mixed industry reactions (support from Michelin/Bridgestone, concerns from SEMA).

California Pushes Replacement-Tire Rules to Boost Energy Efficiency

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.

California to phase out less efficient replacement tires

California’s Energy Commission approved a two-phase rule to curb replacement tires with higher rolling resistance. Beginning in 2029, tires must meet a maximum rolling resistance of 9.1 N/kN, then drop to 7.2 N/kN in 2033, ensuring sold replacements are as energy-efficient as original equipment. Regulators estimate phase 1 could save about $79 in four months and phase 2 about $153 in seven months, while tire makers warn costs could rise and a large share of current tires could be banned. Enforcement will involve a lab testing program and retailer checks, with numerous exclusions (e.g., competition, winter, used/treaded, space-saver, and some off-road tires).

Michelin Performance Line Tires: Fast Rolling, Long-Lasting, With a Wet-Weather Catch

Pinkbike’s review flags Michelin’s Performance Line E-Wild and Wild Enduro tires as fast-rolling and long-wearing on dry, rocky trails, thanks to a harder Gum-X center and Magi-X side knobs plus a dual-ply 33 TPI casing with pinch protection; they’re cheaper than Racing Line ($83.99 vs $99.99) and offer strong damping, but grip suffers in wet conditions (roots/rocks) and tubeless mounting can be finicky, making them best suited for dry-weather riding where longevity matters. For wet climates or peak grip, racers might prefer Racing Line or alternatives like Specialized/Maxxis.

Portland man finds thousands of illegally dumped tires on newly bought land

A Portland man, Khanh Tran, bought a 1.2-acre property and returned with a contractor to find an estimated 50,000–75,000 illegally dumped tires covering the site, potentially costing hundreds of thousands to clean up. Metro says illegal tire dumping has spiked in the region, but cannot remove tires on private property; investigations involve the Multnomah County Sheriff and the Oregon DEQ. Transfer stations allow only a limited number of tires per day, highlighting an accountability gap as Tran presses forward with his home-building plans.

Portland yard buried under hundreds of tires prompts investigation

A southeast Portland property was inundated with hundreds of dumped tires, forming walls six feet high that made the lot difficult to access. Authorities from the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, Metro, and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality are investigating who dumped them and why.
