Let ask what “Climate Change” is really about?
It is about diversion of human consumption to serve the interests of technology?
Are the machines taking over?
Climate Change is their excuse for more tyranny.
Low rolling resistence tire are great if you can find them in the size you need.
We’re living in an Ayn Rand novel.
anything else they do creates a significant resistence
keep looking out for “legislative opportunity”...it means violating a minority with impunity to score brownie points with a wealthy cash source
I haven’t made up my list of banned items in my lifetime yet, but I guess I’ll be adding decent tires to it.
The intent here, of course, is to drive up the cost of tires for gasoline vehicles to match that of EVs (which cost about 3 times gasoline vehicle prices as EV owners are now learning the hard way. The reason for the tires on EVs is that they need the very slightly lower rolling resistance to notch up their range, while small fractions of MPGs are not so critical for gasoline cars.
A good investment now might be opening up some tire stores in Idaho as I doubt Washington will be able to prevent people from driving to a place to replace their tires that still has ‘tire freedom’.
The fascist Left will not stop until they control everything. Eventually:
“You cannot buy those socks! They are not approved!”
“You cannot use an electric shaver! It is forbidden!”
Lucky for them that phony Climate Change came along. It makes things so much easier. All they’ve got to do now is be patient, and not overplay their hand. Just take small steps.
You can have my Perellis when you peel them from my hot, burning Ducati!
Did the mention the $300 million in lost gas tax revenues to the state at their.49 a gal state tax?
It climate-mongers had their way,
the world would revert back to the stone ages.
It has another advantage that will further the agenda of increasing the mortality rate.
Less traction needed for braking and handling safety will increase fatalities substantially.
It is physically impossible to decrease rolling resistance without giving up traction.
The Federal government has been doing this to car manufacturers for decades.
It’s the reason you drive a overpriced piece of shit.
Trump needs to create an “anti-idiot” committee to keep watch over things like this and throw whoever is trying to make people’s lives more miserable in prison for a year or 2 until they get it through their thick skull that being an idiot, an angry jealous idiot who wants to make everyone but themselves miserable, is no way to go through life
I will drive wherever I need to to get the best tires I want. Idaho, for example.
I learned many years ago to NEVER buy a tire (e.g., Goodyear) whose name ended with an “A” (like Arriva). Shallow tread, slick as snot in the rain and tires spin way to easily on take off.
