Jersey Proposed Used Tire Law Bad For Florida Used Tire Dealers

img_0644
Usedtires.com-Used Tire News-Deerfield Beach,Fl-Deerfield-News.com-Deerfield Beach,Fl-This morning I awoke to an Email from Modern Tire Dealer ,a tire industry trade publication about a New Jersey law being proposed at the behest of The Rubber Manufacturers Association .Their past lobbying and it appears current “lobbying” appears to be a pay for play situation where they write the law with government officials worldwide.
Who is the RMA they are Goodyear,Bridgestone Firestone, Michelin, Pirelli North America etc. The RMA has only one interest to damage and hinder used tire sales.The phenomennon of used tire restrictions and import bans started in the eighties and nineties.The new tire industry saw an increase in the exportation of used tires and they systematically waged a campaign country by country in Central and South America to eliminate the sales of used tires by restrictions.Now the RMA is going state by state to try the same nonsense which will effect Florida used tire sellers who sell online,today being Cyber Monday it is important to bring sunshine to these anti free commerce, anti trust violating laws.
There are dozens of used tire dealers selling from Florida via ecommerce,direct online sales and some of those used tires are being sold in New Jersey. Used tires are not dangerous if properly inspected and installed.A tire simply is not bad ,because it is used or was taken off of a vehicle, Reuse is Recycling .Safe used tires are a viable alternative for a sector of the tire buying public.A consumer should not be penalized because they can not afford a new tire when a perfectly safe used tire is available,the used tire they want to purchase is safer than the bald worn out old tire they need to discard and are driving on,is what is dangerous.
Educate not legislate that is what used tire consumers and sellers need.

The following is reprinted from MODERN TIRE DEALER.

New Jersey Assembly Helps Define Unsafe Used Tires
Facebook Twitter Google+ Mail Posted on November 22, 2016
The New Jersey Assembly has left no doubt as to its view on unsafe used tires. By a vote of 72-0 on Nov. 21, it unanimously passed legislation to prohibit the sale of unsafe used tires that pose a risk to New Jersey motorists and the public.

The bill, A 3896, would impose a $500 fine for a first offense on any business that sells a tire that exhibits any one of several unsafe conditions such as worn-out tread, visible damage, or improper repairs. Subsequent violations may be enforced under the state’s Consumer Fraud Act.

The bill was introduced by Assemblywoman Shavonda E. Sumter (D-Paterson). It must now pass through the Senate to become law.

The bill is supported by the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA), the Tire Industry Association and the New Jersey Gas Station-C-Store-Automotive Association.

The National Highway Safety Administration says that worn-out tires are three times more likely to be involved in a crash than tires with sufficient tread depth. NHTSA crash statistics indicate that about 200 fatalities and 6,000 injuries are attributed to tire-related causes annually.

RMA research shows that more than 30 million used tires are available for sale nationally each year.

According to the RMA, the legislation does not ban all used tire sales. It targets used tires that have specific, well-established, unsafe conditions.

“This is a common-sense, pro-safety, pro-consumer bill,” said Anne Forristall Luke, RMA CEO and president. “Preventing these unsafe used tires from operating on New Jersey roads will reduce the risk of crashes and save lives. It’s that simple.”

Tires worn to 1/16th of an inch are considered worn-out and are dangerous because they no longer provide sufficient grip on the road, particularly under wet conditions. Tires with damage exposing steel belts or other internal components threaten a tire’s structural integrity. Improperly repaired tires can suffer loss of inflation pressure or have hidden damage that may contribute to tire failure. Tires with bulges indicate possible internal damage that can lead to tread separation.

“We are grateful to Assemblywoman Sumter for her commitment and hard work to pass this legislation to improve motorist and highway safety,” says Luke. “We also wish to thank Chairman Paul Moriarity (D-Turnersville) for his leadership in passing the bill in the Assembly Consumer Affairs Committee.

Even the used tire guy needs a nail repaired from his used tires once in a while.Used tires rough enough to withstand minor tire repairs and still have tens of thousands of miles of useful tread life left Even Michelin in their new commercial for “Pilots” say safe when new “safe when worn” negating the false propaganda new tire makers for decades have spewed about used tires and their safety.

Used tires have been tested driven on any defect that occurred in the manufacturing process which as we all know is way more dangerous to drivers. Over the course of tire manufacturing deaths from new tires and injuries caused are far greater than the almost nonexistent damages caused by used tires in service.

So Forty million US used tires sold in the past year were not sold to “fools” but to prudent consumers of Used Tires looking for an alternative to high priced new tires and recycling saving the environment while buying a used tire. Reuse, Reduce and Recycle. Buy American made used tires.

Twenty years of a Permanent Injunction Against Puerto Rico Protecting “Used Tire Dealers”

USEDTIRES.COM LOVES OUR FEDERAL JUDGE JUAN PEREZ GIMENEZ- Twenty years of a Permanent Injunction protecting used tire dealers Constitutional Rights to sell used tires.The ” Dormant Commerce Clause ” guarantees interstate commerce unfettered from unconstitutional state enacted laws.In 1996 The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico enacted law 171.Which was invented by New tire makers and “lobbied”local Legislators to eliminate the sale of used tires in Puerto Rico.This created a David v Goliath situation except our opponent became Puerto Rico not the new tires makers who had the Legislators propose and enact law 171 . Fortunately the system can work. There can be a remedy for the little guy if you perservere.The Constitutional question of interfering with interstate commerce even under the guise of protecting landfill space as laudable as it may be ,can not do so only by putting the burden on out of state sellers based on origin.Used tires coming from the US or elsewhere into Puerto Rico are protected by the US Constitution.

SPAINS SCRAP TIRE FIRE!

5738  TIR FIRE
SESENA SPAIN-One of Europes largest scrap tire piles has been set on fire.This phenomena is not unusual as the US and Europe and other countries have for decades have been challenged by scrap tires and how and what to do with scrap tires.
Lets clear up the difference between a Used Tire which is still a reeusable product that can be reused as a “used tire” on a vehicle,a scrap tire is a discarded unusable as a tire but may have use as Tire Derived Fuel or can be recycled in another way. Used Tires are a commodity and are sold worldwide.
The US still has many scrap tire piles.I personally have visited dozens some just in the last few years in Lancaster Pa and the Poconos.The largest pile I visited was in Boudin Maine had an estimated 25 Million scrap tires.
Scrap tire piles pose hazards such as mosquito infestation and potential fire risks.solution
Solution “Cradle to Grave Recycling” putting the responsiblity on the “Tire Makers” not the tire retailers and scrap tire processors.Goodyear,Firestone Michelin Pirelli Continetal,Toyo and all of the other brands you may not have heard of they made the product they need to be held responsible for its proper recycling this is the solution.
About 8,000 apartment dwellers had already left their homes in Sesena, a central town near Madrid, as the thick smoke poured out from the fire that started before dawn, the regional government of Castilla-La Mancha announced.Officials now have the tire fire under control.
The Spanish government has allowed thousands of residents to return to their homes following a massive tire fire that smothered the town of Sesena in toxic smoke.

2016 online used tire sales are brisk Ebay and Amazon as well leading used tire sites are also selling “Direct To Consumers” like TireRack sells new tires.
The potential for Used Tire Sales to exceed One Million used tires this year appears to be happening.This puts used tires sold online behind Exports and Brick and Mortar but clearly the fastest growing and most profitable sector as told by prices used tires sell for online. Used tire online sellers seem to be focusing on “High Priced New Tires by Size” and seeking those sizes and selling them for under 50 percent of the cost new.
The state selling the most used tires online is Pennsylvania perhaps because Liberty Tire and other huge used tire wholesalers are located there.
