Your tires can affect your fuel bill. CA’s new replacement tire efficiency standards could save drivers about $180 per set in gasoline costs and Californians roughly $1B/year in refueling costs. Less wasted energy. More money staying in people’s pockets. More: bit.ly/4xTS7j3

Efficiency standards are a common sense, money-saving solution. The CEC voted to approve first-in-the-nation tire efficiency standards that will save Californians $1B a year. How? Tire chemistry allows tires to roll more efficiently, which uses less gas, saves money & improves air quality. CONT'D
