They're attempting to limit your tire choice to the orignal tire manufacturer spec

Crazy but it's CA so it doesn't surprise me in the least! Sounds like it's more about control than anything. The government there does everything they can to put the screws to the working man I don't know how anyone can live there. Insanely high prices for everything and the gas tax just went up again after closing down 2 refineries.

I got tired of listening to her screechy voice 😖 after about 90 secs and closed the video, so I can’t really comment.

I've never had an ex-wife, but if I did, I'd imagine she'd have sounded something like that 😁

That's a great idea for saving energy 🤔. Plus it will give manufacturers a chance to upcharge for models with larger tires. Insurance companies look at the tire size after an accident now anyway.

Yes, she would have - they all do.

A friend of mine jokes that divorce is so expensive because it’s worth it. 😆

So much for "don't tread on me".
California doesn't know the meaning of that! Just look at their gun laws and all the restrictions. Let's see what happens now with the SCOTUS ruling. I'm sure nothing because they don't care.🤬

I had plenty of ex girlfriends who sounded worse than that. Why do you think I never got married :question:

They start young and only get worse. lol

Didn't watch more than 1 minute of the video, I do know some replacement tire shops won't install tires that are considered unsafe for the vehicles size, weight and performance, I had to sign a waiver yrs back to install H rated tires on my Ford SHO, instead of the higher speed rating tires the car came with. I imagine the low rider community won't be happy if such a law passes. Also many states have laws that prohibit tires sticking out from the wheel wells - it's rarely enforced but it's for safety - controlling splashback on a wet road, I see a lot of dimwits in Colorado that completely ignore that law so if it takes tire shops to prevent that I'm in favor. I think it will be a difficult law to enforce if passed.

So no more dedicated winter tires?

I know Costco wouldn't but a different size tire on my mustang than it came with from the factory.

This is just another reason on our long list why we’re planning on leaving CA as soon as physically possible.

Before I get myself in trouble here, all I’m going to say is that we’re DONE with this state. My wife and I have both lived here our whole lives, we can’t take anymore of this BS. We’re absolutely done with this place. As soon as I get job locked down, we’re gone.

I just heard the Gov of Florida state that Florida now has 4 million more residents than New York, with less than half of the budget! He stated that the NYC budget alone was greater than the entire Florida State budget.

Said Florida had superior infrastructure, roads, medical care, cheaper housing, and less unemployment.... not to mention more freedom. And he had the data to prove it.

No income tax, they did have a sales tax, but food, medical care /drugs, and child care products were exempt.

I halfway want to move back there. Taxes have been creeping up here in NC.
