Document Description
Notice of Determination for the Replacement Tire Efficiency Program.
Assembly Bill 844 (Nation, Chapter 645, Statutes of 2003) requires the CEC to develop and maintain a replacement tire efficiency program under Public Resources Code (PRC) sections 25770–25773. Pursuant to PRC sections 25770–25773, CEC staff designed the Replacement Tire Efficiency Program (RTEP) to ensure that replacement tires sold in California are at least as energy-efficient, on average, as original equipment tires on new passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks.
The RTEP seeks to improve the energy efficiency of replacement tires through the establishment of minimum performance standards, as well as a consumer-focused efficiency rating system, for replacement tires for passenger cars and light-duty trucks sold in California. The amended proposed minimum standards would apply to the sale of new replacement tires starting with those manufactured on or after January 1, 2029, with a more stringent level coming into effect on January 1, 2033 (referred to as Phase I and Phase II, respectively).
