Let me see, the fuel consumption of a a XXXX mile tire vs a XXXX mile tire. Are the impacts significant? Are they measureable? What if you have the highest rated tires, but they're 10- 20# low on air pressure? I think this proposal needs a proper inflation amendment to be credible. And some elected officials wonder why they aren't taken seriously.
Let me take a wild guess, this legislator isn't from Burns or Lakeview or Pendleton is he/she. I wonder if the rollin' resistance police will meet any resistance? Maybe the Governor felt screwed by Les Schwab.
Soren, you have our deepest sympathy's for living in such a state. Oregon makes Utah look downright progressive
