Banned tires proposal

[Murix]

They're technically not supposed to ship non-CARB parts to California, COBB just got caught for this and the "intended for off road use only" didn't save them. The same would be true of tires, tire rack wouldn't legally be able to ship them to a CA address. You'd have to have freinds/family out of state that can ship them to you and pay double shipping.


That's interesting about the 15,000 units, I wonder if tire makers could just make A,B,C and D "variants" to circumvent this. Also, this doesn't change much, it's still a slippery slope as they intend to keep lowering to coefficient, boiling the frog style, until anything remotely grippy is banned.

This will also still increase accidents.

Friends and family is what I meant. Yeah. No direct shipping.

California. A beautiful state ruined by power-crazed lunatics.

Hmmm, I might rent a warehouse by the border (Quartzite??), you guys order and have tires shipped there for pick up.........for a fee

I must admit I did not actually expect this to go through. Our state has seriously lost the plot and Newsom is leading the lunatic charge standing there talking about saving money while we pay outragous prices for everything. This is very dissapoiinting.

The only good news is apparently 200tw tires, including the oem tires on the Nismo, seem to be exceptions under the defintion of racing tires. So I hope from what I read anyway.
