Who are these importers and import brokers who want these American Scrap Tires so bad they are exporting them back to Asia for tire Derived fuel? Supposedly the excess of empty shipping containers and cheap ocean freight from US ports back to Asia specifically China who appears to be the ultimate buyer and user of the scrap tires being exported,even though they appear to be arriving through Viet Nam. so why is Viet Nam the back Door for the Chinese if they are using the scrap for TDF????

USEDTIRES.COM BLOGGED THIS ON 5-05-10 STRONG DOLLAR WEAK EURO GOOD FOR USA

2011-10-01T09:21:00.000-07:00

OCTOBER 1 2011
EURO OVERVALUED EU NOT SO UNIFIED.
USED TIRES .COM HAS PURCHASED AND TRAVELED EXTENSIVELY SINCE 1992 TO WESTERN EUROPE IN SEARCH OF USED TIRES NOT AVAILABLE HERE IN THE USA.USED TIRES DISTRIBUTORS IN GERMANY FRANCE NETHERLANDS ALL STILL HAVE THE SAME BUSINESS MENTALITY OF CALCULATING EVERYTHING MENTALLY IN THEIR OLD CURRENCIES
FOR YEARS THE EURO HAS BEEN OVERVALUED THE CONCEPT OF A UNITED EUROPE FALLS SHORT WHEN IT COMES TO MONEY. THE GERMANS AND FRENCH WILL HAVE TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE TO PROTECT THE OVERVALUED CURRENCY AND STOP WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS AN AMERICAN PROBLEM.
THE EU KNEW WHAT IS WAS IN FOR WHEN THEY CONVERTED THE OLD CURRENCIES AT A FIXED PRICE. THE EURO WHICH NEVER HAD ANY REASON TO BE SUPER STRONG AGAINST THE DOLLAR WAS JUST ANOTHER MARKET BUBBLE GONE WILD.EUROPE IS AS DIVIDED AS EVER VERY NATIONALISTIC AT IT'S CORE NO UNIFIED PROPPED UP MONEY WILL CHANGE THAT.PORTUGAL IRELAND ITALY SPAIN ARE NEXT AFTER GREECE.
AT USEDTIRES.COM IT MEANS THE PRICE OF GERMAN USED TIRES IS ON SALE AND LIKELY TO GET EVEN LOWER AS THE EURO FINDS ITS REAL VALUE NOT THIS OVERINFLATED SPECULATED IT WAS GOOD FOR THEM AND US (FOREIGN SUBSIDIARIES OF US MEGACORPS) WITH INTERESTS ABROAD.
ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN TO EUROPE AND HAS EUROPEAN FRIENDS KNOWS THE REAL PROBLEM IS GERMANS ARE GERMAN, FRENCH ARE FRENCH, GREEKS ARE GREEKS AND THIS NONSENSE OF THE THE EURO BEING THE EU UNIFIER OF DIFFERENT NATIONALISTIC GROUP OF PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AND CULTURES THAT WERE NEVER LIKE THE US IS NONSENSE.
A SAFE HAVEN, THE EURO, IT IS OVERVALUED BRING BACK THE DEUTSCHE MARK THE GERMAN BUSINESS MAN STILL MAKES ALL CALCULATIONS BASED ON THIS MENTALLY.....THATS A FACT.
A STRONG DOLLAR IS GOOD FOR US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roumania Roumania by the Late Great Aaron Lebedeff a Yiddish Classic

2011-09-28T19:50:00.000-07:00

As my Great grandparents immigrated in the 1800's from europe like may european jews they loved the Arts and particular Yiddish theater and singing about the Old country
This song is one of a few of my favorites Like Shtetl Belz ,listeneing to Rabbi Malavsky on radio in the early 1980's and to my grandfathers old albums remind me of many things Jewish But Roumania Roumania is an all time classic.
This has nothing to to with Used tires or the Used tire industry, but if not for my Great Grandparents immigrating I would not be here or American.
Happy New Year!
Lshana Tovah!

King of Yiddish Music Leo Fuld Never Again, this is why we need ISRAEL

2011-09-27T04:22:00.000-07:00

In these times of the twenty first century it may be easy to ask WHY do we need Israel Never Forget, Never Again...
Aside from being a major tech country with pioneering ideas israel is also a player in Tire recycling and Used tire sales.
Israel is a major player in the used tire industry selling used car tires and used truck tires worldwide,well to those countries that have the courage to trade with them.
All one has to do is a Google search for used tire,used tires or used car tires in Israel and you will see the hundreds of search results.
Used tires.com suppports Israel!!!!!!

JAMAICANS THINK ABOUT REVERSING BAN ON USED TIRES.

2011-04-10T14:15:00.000-07:00

STORY FROM DAILY GLEANER
Should government lift the ban on wholesale used tyre importation?

In Jamaica, motor vehicle accidents are relatively common. When these accidents occur, many persons blame road conditions, illiterate drivers, road hogs, and sometimes even the problem of bad tyres are explored.

Well, according to the opponents of used tyre importation, the latter problem is about to get even worse. Why? Because there have been reports that the Jamaican government may be planning to lift the ban on wholesale importation of used tyres soon.

Although it was the Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce, Karl Samuda, who advocated for the ban on used tyre importation last year, he seems quite ready to put the restriction to an end this year.

“You have some people who are having real difficulty finding money to buy new tyres, so there is a heavy demand for used tyres,” Samuda told The Gleaner.

He feels that lifting the ban on used tyres (which usually cost approximately 40-50 per cent less than new ones) would really help poor Jamaicans. He has however indicated that the importation will be done using new regulations set up by the Bureau of Standards.

Well, despite the arguments put forward, The Road Safety Unit is obviously not completely sold on the idea:

“Used tyres should be treated with a healthy degree of scepticism. The Road Safety Unit cannot wholeheartedly support the move towards allowing used tyres on the island, as the institutional framework to adequately ensure that they are safe for road users are not in place,” the unit stated.

What do you think? Should government lift the ban on wholesale used tyre importation? Do you believe bad tyres have anything to do with motor vehicle accidents? Have your say…
USEDTIRES.COM INTERNETS LEADER IN WHOLESALE USED TIRES HAS ITS SAY......

The ban in question has never been about Tire safety.
The ban is one of many that were implemented at the Behest of New tire makers.
Goodyear, Bridgestone Firestone and Pirelli and their Rubber Manufacturers Association here in the Us and worldwide have for years mounted a smear campaign against used tires.Our company Used Tires Inc and our website http://www.usedtires.com have been battling these companies and lobbying foreign governments to reverse these bans for decades now!We HAVE WON A PERMANENT INJUNCTION AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT OF PUERTO RICO.
WHY BECAUSE THEY TRIED THIS NOSNENSE THERE AND WE COULD TAKE THEM TO A US FEDERAL COURT!!!!
We sell used tires here in the USA,Japan sells them Germany sells them France sells them Great Britain sell them all Domestically as well as for export. The sales of Good quality used tires is something that never should have been banned it always was and is nothing more than a Protectionest measure from your politicians for their cronies at Goodyear.....

Why Would Anyone Buy Used Tires?
Posted on September 19, 2010 by admin
http://www.thedixons.net

Cheap Fun I have often wondered why in the world anyone would go to all the trouble of purchasing and installing a tire when they know it has already been used. Sure, maybe you saved a few bucks but you’ll probably be replacing those tires in the very near future, right? And then you’ll pay for balancing and installing all over again…

And then I had to replace the tires on my little Kia Rio hatchback and walked away with four nice Yokohama tires with a 60,000 mile warranty and paid over $600. Ouch! OK, so maybe I should check out this whole used tires thing again…

As it turns out, there are actually quite a few places you can find on the internet where you can order used tires. At first this seemed to me like it would kill all of your cost savings, mainly from the shipping charges. But if you find someone in your area, or if you are ordering the tires for a fleet or for something besides using them on a vehicle it probably starts to make more financial sense. And then I started thinking about the used tires business itself. How could anyone make money at a business like that? I just assumed that used tires were something you bought at some small mom and pop type of business. Maybe you are in college and are broke, maybe you run a landscaping business and drive all over town mowing lawns and don’t really care about shiny new tires. Those customers are going to look for a local business. But several businesses are selling used tires online, so I decided to dig into this issue a little closer, just out of curiosity.

Of course some of the top results when you search in Google are obviously creating their web site just to get clicks on their Google Ads. There’s nothing wrong with that per se, but many sites like this are referred to as ‘MFA’ (Made For Adsense). The problem with them is that they contain articles which are outsourced to some ‘third world’ country and they end up providing a lot of words without really providing much information. UsedTiresDealers.com is one of those kinds of sites. I even found a site which purports to sell used tires, but I’ll be damned if you can actually get to their product page or order form. And they don’t even have ads! But then there are the sites actually selling tires, and I really like Howard Levy’s site.

UsedTires.com – pretty much the best website name for the product. Looks like he’s been in the business for almost thirty years, and online since 1997. Now this guy is an early adopter! And it also appears that he sells most of his used tires wholesale. This makes sense to me. And it seems that a lot of these tires are purchased for something called ‘Tire Derived Fuel’ which I don’t understand but it seems to have something to do with recycling and gives me something else to look up and maybe write about!

EPA rule's about Tire Derived Fuel and the future of Tire Recycling Industry

2011-02-11T06:38:00.000-08:00

According to a recent issue of Tire Business http://www.tirebusiness.com

The EPA has until February 21 2011 to issue its final rule covering emissions from industrial boilers and solid waste incinerators.

The Rubber Manufacturers Association as well as The Tire industry Association are concerned about the new MACT requirements.Under the new rule scrap tires would be defined as solid waste,meaning only Tire derived Fuel that was processed before use could be considered as fuel.This alone is enough to set back the Tire Industry and all the efforts it has made in the last twenty years towards resolving the nations scrap Tire disposal problems.This proposed rule would be a reversal of Twenty years of progress that all in the tire industry have worked hard to solve.The use of whole tires in industrial kilns is a Success!!!
Using scrap tires as an alternative fuel works.
The science and data are on Industries side .
Usedtires.com is proud to be a supplier and processor of Tire Derived Fuel for the Cement Industry.
Our company like many in the Tire Recycling industry believe in Reuse,Reduce,Recycle! !
Recycling over 130 million Scrap tires a year by using as an Alternative Fuel in industrial Kilns is an effective, safe way to eliminate discarded scrap tires and prevent them from being dumped illegally and forming clandestine landfills ravaged with potential disease.

Reversing twenty years of progress with no other viable alternative is JUST STUPID!!!

Used Tires for Sale Poor Economy increases demand for "Used Tires"

2011-01-03T16:22:00.000-08:00

With nearly 10% of Americans currently unemployed, households are trying to cut spending in every aspect of life. One main area in which costs are being lowered is transportation. Hybrid and electric vehicles have seen record sales in the past few years with gas prices fluctuating wildly and Americans trying to squeeze every mile possible out of a gallon of gas. For those that simply can’t afford a new vehicle, however, an interesting solution has emerged: used tires.

While some time ago the concept was largely unheard of, nowadays there are many companies whose sole business model is selling used tires to the general public. With the explosion of "used tire disposal "laws and "Tire recycling" laws the increase in demand for "used tires" and or a "used tire" have skyrocketed in these bleak economic times
A simple internet search will return a number of different websites offering "Used tires" "used tires wholesale" “used performance tires” and “used tractor tires,” to name a few. Virtually any kind of tire now has a used version available, and there is even “wholesale discount pricing” for those wanting to order used tires in mass quantities. Worldwide export of "quality used tires" is also a booming business
Since they are drastically cheaper than new tires, many are now opting for these pre-owned versions for their automobiles.

Over 300 Million Used Tires are disposed of in the US every year
Not only are they being sold, but over 150 million used tires are also now being repurposed and burned each year for “tire derived fuels,” or TDF for short.
A great purpose using all the energy inside the tire to manufacture another product in most cases klinker for cement. Many people are arguing for other proposed options for the disposal of these tires, as burning them harms the environment.But the science appears to show the tires burn cleaner and hotter than coal which many industries use in their kilns.
Other recycled uses include doormats, roofing materials, playground equipment, and “crumbs” as an additive for asphalt, which extends the life of the pavement 4-5 years.

The purchase of a quality used tire is always a better alternative for the tire consumer than continuing to drive on their bald tires.
The used tires Usedtires.com offers for sale are available direct to consumer, Used Tire Wholesalers,and used Tires for export

SCRAP TIRE DISPOSAL AND USED TIRES INDUSTRY SEES MEGA FIRMS AQUIRING THE LITTLE GUYS IN TRUE WAYNE HUIZENGA STYLE

2010-11-27T10:02:00.000-08:00

Not overnight but it seems like it.The scrap tire disposal and Used Tire industry seem to have a "Buy Out" Hungry group of Heavy Hitters.
The industry which was always fragmented and consisted of hundreds if not thousands of independent tire collectors and processors had it's big players Lakin Tire, Lakin General, Emmanuel Tire, Casings Inc amongst others.
With the rapid expansion by Liberty Tire and the entry of LKQ corp a publicly traded company recently the industry has seen one player Liberty Tire gobble up many, many tire recyclers and tire collectors including some of the aforementioned Big Players forming a network of outlets recycling about one third of Americas scrap tires over 100 Million per year.What will become of the former Big Players are they set to be bought out as well???
What will these takeovers mean in the future to the tire industry as a whole??
Will there be one giant amongst all of the old independents ?
Is this the best thing to keep moving forward with recycling of Americas discarded tires a lot of progress has been made in the last twenty years to rid America of illegal tire dump sites and assure for proper tire disposal.
What will become of tipping fees if anyone company has too much influence?
What will happen to the price of crumb rubber,shredded material and used tires if any one company controls the market??????

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE RUBBER HAS MET THE ROAD???
WHAT happens to your old tires?
Where do they go????
The progress of American Used Tire Dealers recycling your Scrap Tires.

At the end of 2009, the U.S. generated approximately 290 million scrap tires. Historically, these scrap tires took up space in landfills or provided breeding grounds for mosquitoes and rodents when stockpiled or illegally dumped. Fortunately, markets now exist for 80.4% of these scrap tires up from 17% in 1990. These markets, both recycling and beneficial use, continue to grow. The remaining scrap tires are still stockpiled or put in a landfill. However, in 2007 markets for scrap tires were consuming 233 million, or 80.4 %, of the 290 million annually generated scrap tires. Aside from selling Quality Used Tires worldwide, the highest form of Tire Recycling, Usedtires.com processes millions of scrap tires for Tire Derived Fuel.

IN THE USA
* 130 million (44.7%) are used as Tire Derived Fuel.
* 56 million (19.4%) are recycled or used in civil engineering projects.
* About 27 million scrap tires (9.3%) are estimated to be disposed of in landfills or mono-fills.
* 18 million (7.8%) are converted into ground rubber and recycled into products.
* Another 16.5 million scrap (7.7%) tires are retreaded. After any retreading has been performed, 290 million scrap tires are generated.
* 12 million (4.3%) are converted into ground rubber and used in rubber-modified asphalt.
* 9 million (3.1%) are exported as used tires.
* 6.5 million (2.0 %) are recycled into cut/stamped/punched products.
* 3 million (1.7%) are used in agricultural and miscellaneous uses

Many used tires are exported to foreign countries to be reused, or as retreads, especially in countries with growing populations of automobile drivers such as Brazil, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Panama and Mexico. Mexico According to Mexico's National Association of Tire Distributors, as many as 20% of tires sold in Mexico are imported as used tires from the US and then retreaded for reuse. Some foreign countries also import tires to be shredded and used as crumb rubber, or to be used as fuel.

Task force nabs tire dumpers
Prolific North Side offender convicted, three others indicted in illegal hauling

Illegal scrap-tire dump sites, such as this one on Martha Avenue in Franklinton, are a public-health issue, an official said.
Terry Scott Hess, 48, was sentenced to seven years for dumping of tires and for burglaries at tire stores.

Terry Scott Hess, 48, was sentenced to seven years for dumping of tires and for burglaries at tire stores.

Terry Scott Hess boasted to a Franklin County judge last week that he has been in the tire business for 22 years.

There was just one problem with that career: Hess wasn't licensed to haul or dispose of the scrap tires that he dumped throughout the county.

"He's one of the most experienced illegal haulers that we know of," said Assistant County Prosecutor Heather Robinson of the Environmental Crimes Task Force of Central Ohio.

The career will cost Hess, 48, seven years in prison. Common Pleas Judge David W. Fais sentenced him to six years for open dumping and illegal transportation of tires, and one year for burglaries at two tire stores.

He was caught hauling or dumping tires fives times, beginning shortly after he was released from prison in September 2008 on a conviction for receiving stolen property. Surveillance cameras twice captured him dumping tires behind an abandoned car dealership on Morse Road.

Hess, of 2149 Aberdeen Ave.on the North Side, isn't alone in the illegal scrap-tire business. Three other central Ohioans were indicted last week on charges of illegal transportation of tires.

They are Terry Hess' brother, Rickey L. Hess, 52, of Utica; Stephen A. Green, 59, of 742 Hines Rd., Gahanna; and Rodney Hall, 54, of 173 E. Hinman Ave. on Columbus' South Side, who told investigators that Terry Hess trained him.

The charges are part of an increased focus by the task force on scrap-tire dumping, Robinson said. Five defendants were convicted of illegal dumping or hauling tires in Franklin County in 2009.

"It's a public-health issue," she said. "Discarded tires are a perfect incubator for mosquitoes."

In Columbus alone, crews cleaned up 621 tons of illegally dumped tires in 2009, said John Remy, spokesman for the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio. That equals roughly 62,000 passenger tires, he said.

The cost to taxpayers for the disposal of those tires: about $90,000.

But that was down from disposal fees of $114,700 in 2007 and $105,300 in 2008.

"We believe that by getting these people off the streets, we're cutting into the number of tires being dumped illegally," Remy said.

The authority funds the task force, which was created 16 years ago. In addition to Robinson, it includes two Franklin County deputies and representatives from the Columbus Refuse Division and the Franklin County Health Department.

Disreputable used-tire dealers cut costs by relying on unlicensed haulers to pick up their junk tires, Robinson said. Some of the tires are sold to other used-tire dealers and the rest are dumped illegally.

Rickey Hess has a used-tire shop in Utica, investigators said. He was arrested for making several trips to Columbus to dump his junk tires behind a tire dealership on N. Hamilton Road under the cover of darkness. The task force thinks Rickey Hess dumped 150 to 200 used tires behind the store, hoping its licensed hauler would take them away.

Green was stopped by task-force investigators as he illegally hauled tires on Granville Street in Gahanna.

And deputies said Hall was captured by surveillance cameras as he dumped tires behind an apartment complex on Ferris Road, and was caught by Franklin Township police while illegally hauling tires.

"If we catch them hauling, we prevent the dumping," Robinson said.

She thinks the task force's crackdown is getting the attention of lawbreakers.

"Most of these individuals know each other," she said. "I know they share information about our unit's tactics. When we arrest someone, they'll say, 'I know you caught so-and-so.' They're following our enforcement efforts."

Residents can report illegal dumping 24 hours a day at www.nailadumper.com or by calling 614-871-5322.

Modern Tire Dealer Magazine Blogs about Used Tire sales

Used tires are not abused tires

By: Bob Ulrich Modern Tire Dealer

When I hear the phrase "used tires," I always think of affordable alternatives to new tires. I never think "scrap tires," which, by their very description, are unusable.

I bring up the topic because since the beginning of the year, Tire King, a used-tire dealership based in Akron, Ohio, has been advertising "Good used tires" for $25 each (mounted and balanced) in the Akron Beacon Journal. Sometimes the ads are full-page ads, with type almost as large as a tire.

In business about a year, Tire King also offers new tires, but doesn't stock them. If a customer wants new tires, Kauffman Tire, a local distributor, delivers them.

But make no mistake, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, the dealership sells a lot more used than new tires. And they are doing well enough to buy full-page newspaper ads.

From time to time, we hear talk of legislation that attempts to ban the sale of used tires. I think that is rubbish. (Rubbish? Who am I, my grandmother?) Tire dealers are tire experts. They know how to inspect tires and when they are safe enough to sell.

Are properly inspected tires safe? Sure. They certainly are safer than bald tires, and they give low-income families an option.

Remember a few years ago when Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations LLC announced it would stop selling used tires at its 2,200 company owned stores? I'll bet the store managers weren't too happy with that decision.

The Rubber Manufacturers Association, which is made up of nearly all of the tire manufacturers in the United States, isn't against the sale of used tires, although it warns that there is potential risk in purchasing used consumer tires "that have an uncertain or unknown history."

I agree with that. In other words, it's up to the tire dealer to determine the history and condition of the used tire. It puts the responsibility on the tire dealer, where it belongs. Want to sell a used tire? Make sure it is safe.

Even Sean Kane, president of Safety Research and Strategies Inc., is not against selling used tires as long as strict standards are adopted.

Three years ago, I received a letter from a tire dealer who sold used tires and was complaining about some bad press. He had been selling used and new tires for more than 30 years.

"Out of the 600-700 used tires we sell each year, rarely do I get one back because of a failure due to it being used," he wrote. "All the used tires we sell have at least 50% or more tread on them, and are thoroughly inspected for cuts, punctures, improper repairs (plugs), blisters, etc., before they are installed.

"All of our customers trust us and the tires we sell them, new and used."

Check the Internet and you'll see plenty of listings for used tires. Howard Tire Co. sells them in Central Pennsylvania, while Atlanta Used Tires.com sells them in metropolitan Atlanta. Border Tire Inc. in the Rochester, N.Y., area reclaims them from car dealerships and sells them.

Bestusedtires.com asks "Why buy new?" and claims it is the largest online used tire store in the U.S. All-Used-Tires.com sells used auto parts as well as used tires. Used Tires Inc. and its usedtires.com Web site wholesale used tires.

I think you see my point. There are a lot of dealers out there who seem to know what they are doing when it comes to successfully and safety selling used tires. So when the government once again feels the need to legislate, and maybe ban, their sale, I just hope the powers that be ask tire dealers what they think first.

September 11, 1998

____________________

SCHWARZER, Senior District Judge. In an effort to attack the mounting problem of solid waste disposal, the Puerto Rico legislature in 1996 enacted the Tire Handling Act, also known as Law 171. This act establishes a comprehensive scheme for the handling and disposal of used tires. Among other things, it requires tire vendors to accept customers' used tires at no extra charge for processing or disposal, prohibits the burning of tires and depositing of tires in landfills except under certain conditions, regulates the storage and recycling of tires, establishes import fees, sets up a fund for handling scrap tires, creates incentives for recycling and developing alternative uses for scrap tires, and imposes penalties for noncompliance with its provisions. The legislature identified the disposal of tires as a particular problem because of the fire hazard they present, the public health hazard they create from disease-carrying mosquitoes breeding in water that accumulates inside discarded tires and the large amount of space they occupy, diminishing the useful life of landfills.

Used Tire International, Inc. ("UTI") is an importer of used tires into Puerto Rico. It brought this action for declaratory and injunctive relief against appellant Manuel Díaz- Saldaña as Secretary of the Treasury to bar enforcement of certain provisions of Law 171. Those provisions are: Article 5(B) which prohibits the import of tires that do not have a minimum tread depth of 3/32"; Article 5(D) which requires tire importers to file a bond in an amount equivalent to the cost of handling and disposing of the imported product and provides for execution of the bond in the event that 10% of a representative sample of a shipment does not qualify; Article 6 which imposes a charge on all imported tires; Article 17(A)(1) which provides for distributions from a tire handling fund, created from the charge imposed on importers of tires, to recyclers, processors and exporters of tires; and Article 19(A) which imposes a $10.00 fine on persons selling or importing tires that do not have a minimum tread depth of 3/32." Following a hearing on UTI's request for a preliminary injunction at which both sides presented testimony, the district court issued an opinion and order, granting the injunction against enforcement of Articles 5(B), 5(D) and 19(A) and denying it with respect to Articles 6 and 17(A)(1). Puerto Rico appealed the order and UTI cross-appealed. The parties have stipulated that we may treat Puerto Rico's appeal as being from a final adjudication of the invalidity of Articles 5(B), 5(D) and 19(A). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1292(a)(1).

PUERTO RICO'S APPEAL

The district court concluded that Articles 5(B) and 19(A) facially discriminate against interstate commerce by banning the importation of a class of tires that may be legally sold and used in Puerto Rico. In reaching that conclusion it rejected the Secretary's argument that Law 171 is non-discriminatory because the 3/32" requirement applies equally to importers and sellers of used tires. The argument was premised on the first sentence of Article 19(A) which states:

Every person who sells or imports tires . . . that do not have a minimum depth of 3/32" . . . shall pay a fine of $10.00 per tire.

The court rejected this interpretation of the statute as implausible on the strength of the second sentence of Article 19(A) which states:

This provision shall apply to those who fail to comply but have not had their bond executed, according to what is pointed out in Article 5(D) [which requires all tire importers to post a bond].

It read that provision as making the penalty applicable only to those who have filed bonds, i.e., importers of used tires.

We agree with the district court's interpretation. The reference to "those . . . who have not had their bond executed" and the cross-reference to Article 5(D) dealing with importers of used tires makes it clear that only those sellers of used tires who are also importers are the subject of Article 19(A). Moreover, as UTI points out, it would make little sense for the legislature to penalize sellers of noncomplying used tires taken in trade-in (i.e., locally-generated used tires) for to do so would simply accelerate the time when used tires are discarded as scrap and dumped in a landfill. On appeal, the Secretary merely reiterates that the penalty applies equally to sellers and to importers but has offered "only rhetoric, and not explanation." See Chemical Waste Management, Inc. v. Hunt, 504 U.S. 334, 343 (1992). We conclude, therefore, that Article 19(A) discriminates against sellers of imported used tires because only they and not sellers of locally-generated used tires are subjected to the penalty and, consequently, that Article 5(B) discriminates against importers of used tires because Law 171 singles them out in barring the import of tires with less than 3/32" tread depth.(1)

The district court, having concluded that Articles 5(B) and 19(A) are invalid, did not reach the bonding requirement under Article 5(D). That article provides that "[e]very tire importer shall file . . . a bond . . . equivalent to the total cost of the handling and disposal of the imported product. Should more than 10% of a representative sample of a shipment of imported tires fail[] to meet [the 3/32" standard] . . . the totality of the bond shall be executed." Plainly the bonding requirement imposes burdens, costs and risks on importers of used tires not borne by sellers of locally-generated used tires and thus provides added support for the conclusion that Articles 5(B), 5(D) and 19(A) together facially discriminate against interstate commerce.

The inexorable increase in the volume of solid wastes and the health and environmental consequences attendant on their disposal present legislatures and courts with vexing problems. See Philadelphia v. New Jersey, 437 U.S. 617, 630 (1978) (Rehnquist, J., dissenting). We may assume that Puerto Rico's purpose in enacting Law 171 was to serve the best interests of all its citizens. But no matter how laudatory its purpose, "it may not be accomplished by discriminating against articles of commerce coming from outside the [Commonwealth] unless there is some reason, apart from their origin, to treat them differently." Id. at 626-27.(2) In Philadelphia, the Supreme Court struck down a New Jersey statute that prohibited the importation of waste originating out of state. The crucial question, the Court said, was whether the statute was "basically a protectionist measure, or whether it can fairly be viewed as a law directed to legitimate local concerns, with effects upon interstate commerce that are only incidental." Id. at 624. To answer that question, the Court saw no need to resolve the dispute between the parties whether the purpose was to serve parochial economic interests or to save the environment for "the evil of protectionism can reside in legislative means as well as legislative ends." Id. at 626. New Jersey's law, it held, fell within the area that the Commerce Clause puts off limits to state regulation because it "imposes on out-of-state commercial interests the full burden of conserving the State's remaining landfill space." Id. at 628.

Puerto Rico's legislation barring the importation of certain used tires is essentially indistinguishable from New Jersey's.(3) It, too, places the burden of conserving its landfill space on those engaged in interstate commerce, the importers of used tires. And it is essentially indistinguishable from the Alabama statute imposing an additional disposal fee on wastes generated outside the state, struck down in Chemical Waste. See also Fort Gratiot Sanitary Landfill, Inc. v. Michigan Dept. of Natural Resources, 504 U.S. 353 (1992) (striking down statute barring disposal of solid waste generated in another county); Trailer Marine Transp. Corp. v. Rivera Vázquez, 977 F.2d 1, 10 (1st Cir. 1992). The costs associated with the required bond and the penalty upon the sale of noncomplying imported tires, moreover, resemble a tariff on goods that may be lawfully sold in the state because they are imported from another state, "[t]he paradigmatic example of a law discriminating against interstate commerce." West Lynn Creamery, Inc. v. Healy, 512 U.S. 186, 193 (1994). Because the Secretary has failed to come forward with a showing that Articles 5(B), 5(D) and 19(A) advance a legitimate local purpose that cannot be adequately served by reasonable nondiscriminatory alternatives, see New Energy Co. v. Limbach, 486 U.S. 269, 278 (1988), they cannot withstand scrutiny under the Commerce Clause.(4)

UTI'S CROSS-APPEAL

UTI cross-appeals from the district court's denial of injunctive relief against enforcement of Articles 6 and 17. We review the denial of a preliminary injunction for abuse of discretion. See Ross-Simons of Warwick, Inc. v. Baccarat, Inc., 102 F.3d 12, 16 (1st Cir. 1996). The appealing party "bears the considerable burden of demonstrating that the District Court flouted" the four-part test for preliminary injunctive relief. E.E.O.C. v. Astra USA, Inc., 94 F.3d 738, 743 (1st Cir. 1996). That test requires plaintiff to show probability of success on the merits as well as irreparable injury, the balance of harm tipping in plaintiff's favor, and absence of adverse effect on the public interest. See, e.g., Starlight Sugar, Inc. v. Soto, 114 F.3d 330, 331 (1st Cir. 1997).

Article 6 imposes a charge on each imported tire, whether new or used, varying with the dimension of the wheel rim. The revenue received from this charge is placed in an Adequate Disposal Tire Handling Fund, created under Article 17, to subsidize the cost of processing and recycling used tires. The district court held that Article 6 does not discriminate against interstate commerce because the charge is imposed on all tires entering Puerto Rico, no tires being manufactured in Puerto Rico. See Exxon Corp. v. Governor of Maryland, 437 U.S. 117, 125 (1978). UTI argues that the charge discriminates because it is not imposed on locally-generated tires. Those tires, of course, pay the charge when they enter Puerto Rico as new tires. The district court found that those tires nevertheless enjoy an economic advantage because the charge is not passed on in the price of locally-generated used tires. Whatever the basis for that finding, we find nothing discriminatory in a one-time charge imposed on the importation of every tire, new or used. The only used tires that may enjoy an advantage are those that were imported new or used before Law 171 became effective (some of which were presumably imported by UTI). But their advantage is temporary and is the result, not of discrimination, but, rather, of the inevitable phasing in of the new law. Because we find that Article 6 "regulates evenhandedly to effectuate a legitimate local public interest, and its effects on interstate commerce are only incidental," Pike v. Bruce Church, 397 U.S. 137, 142 (1970), we affirm the district court's ruling denying injunctive relief.

Article 17(A)(1) provides for the distribution out of the Adequate Disposal Tire Handling Fund of the revenue derived from the import charge. Out of the revenue collected, handlers of tires to be processed or recycled in Puerto Rico are to receive a maximum of 91% of the handling and disposal fee and exporters up to 46%. UTI contends that this provision facially discriminates against tire exporters. The district court found, and it is not disputed, that UTI is not a scrap tire exporter and thus not hurt by the law. Accordingly, it lacks standing to attack this article. See Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560-61 (1994).

UTI seeks to avoid its disability by arguing that Article 17 together with Article 6 create a tax-subsidy program similar to that found to be invalid in West Lynn Creamery, Inc. v. Healy, 512 U.S. 186 (1994). West Lynn struck down a Massachusetts milk pricing order which imposed an assessment on all milk sold by dealers in Massachusetts, two-thirds of which came from out of state, and then distributed all of it to Massachusetts dairy farmers. Even though the assessment and the subsidy, separately, could be lawfully enacted, together they constituted a scheme under which out-of-state producers were required to subsidize competition by local high cost dairy farmers, neutralizing advantages possessed by lower cost out-of-state producers. Id. at 194. The Puerto Rico import charge is distinguishable because it does not subsidize local dealers at the expense of those engaged in interstate commerce.(5)

CONCLUSION

We therefore AFFIRM the district court's order respecting injunctive relief.

FOOTNOTES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*. Of the Northern District of California, sitting by designation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Because no new tires are manufactured in Puerto Rico, all new tires are imported along with used tires. New tires in due course enter the local trade as locally-generated used tires when they are taken in trade-in or bought for resale by local tire dealers. At that point, they compete with imported used tires.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. "Puerto Rico is subject to the constraints of the dormant Commerce Clause doctrine in the same fashion as the states." Trailer Marine Transport Corp. v. Rivera Vázquez, 977 F.2d 1, 7 (1st Cir. 1992).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. The Secretary urges us to apply the balancing analysis explicated in Pike v. Bruce Church, 397 U.S. 137, 142 (1970). That analysis--weighing burdens against benefits -- is inapposite, however, because this is not a law that "regulates evenhandedly to effectuate a legitimate local public interest" whose "effects on interstate commerce are only incidental." Id. at 142. While we do not doubt the benefits to Puerto Rico's citizens from extending the useful life of their landfills, the Philadelphia line of cases teaches that the Commerce Clause does not permit those benefits to be achieved at the expense of interstate commerce through discriminatory legislative means.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Severability is not an issue. Article 22 states: "The provisions of this Act are independent from one another, and should any of its provisions be declared unconstitutional . . . the decision . . . shall not affect or invalidate any of the remaining provisions, unless the Court"s decision so state[s] expressly."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. The foregoing discussion sufficiently disposes of UTI's claim that Articles 6 and 17 violate the due process and equal protection clauses.

FLORIDAS PROPOSED TIRE AGEING BILL 501.94 fs

2010-04-09T21:00:00.000-07:00

FLORIDAS PROPOSED TIRE AGEING BILL 501.94 fs
Usedtires.com the internets Leader in Used Tires for sale Opposes Bill 501.94FS
As a twenty nine year resident of Florida and a veteran of the tire indusrty for over twenty five years.
I have to express my opinion on the proposed bill Maybe Florida Lawmakers would better serve the motoring public by reinstating auto inspections! I hope all from the Tire Industry as well as Used Tire resellers and Tire Recyclers will be invited to speak at Public hearings
Tires are not wine they do not get better with age, but they are not Milk either and will not spoil on date certain!
To cause a panic in the consumer who will insist on the most recently made Tire which is not always the Safest.
This bill also will potentially set back recent efforts made in the Tire recycling industry as well as it may run afoul of the US Constitutions Dormant Commerce Clause
Tire safety is important! No one wants to sell Dangerous Product but the evidence of tire aging is not concrete there are many factors
Where was the Tire made?
By who was the Tire made?
How was the Tire stored?
Where was the tire stored?
If used where was it in use By who?
Senator Garcia Please consult with all sides on this proposed Bill before Florida enacts a law that it may not need.
Sincerely
Howard Levy

ATTACKING USED TIRES AGAIN!

2008-07-11T12:29:00.000-07:00

Used Tires Under Attack Again OUR THOUGHTS

saving hundreds of thousand of potential accidents from occurring.

Reprinted from
NY TIMES Damon Darlon
MARCH 17 2007
Used Tires and Safety

About 30 million used tires were sold in the United States last year, almost 10 percent of all replacement tires sold.

Used tires are a money-saving choice for people who need to replace tires on a leased vehicle or on a car they are planning to sell soon. A new Goodyear Eagle RS-A that goes for about $100 at a Big O tire store sells for about $18 at BorderTire.com, a used-tire dealer.

Jobbers collect used tires from tire stores and the auto departments of Wal-Mart or Sears after they are replaced with new tires. The used-tire companies can get about $1 each by scrapping them or up to $10 apiece selling them to tire dealers. The profit margins for used tires are far better than for new tires, which explains why almost every tire store sells them.

Reputable dealers examine the tires and grade them. But the problem is that most consumers, unless they have a degree in polymer science, will not be able to see flaws in a tire. Some tires are detailed — that is, meticulously cleaned — and even painted so they look younger.

Sean Kane, an auto safety consultant at Safety Research and Strategies (safetyresearch.net) in Rehoboth, Mass., said that although consumers look at the depth of tire tread, the real concern should be the age of the tire. He wrote in a recent issue of The Safety Record, his firm’s newsletter, that “tires age in a way that often cannot be detected visually.”

A tire that looks new can be deteriorating internally, he said, in the same way that an old rubber band in your desk drawer might gradually develop cracks. It all depends on how the tire has been driven — underinflation ruins a tire — or where it has been stored.

Mr. Kane said that the scope of problem tires was unknown. But he said that he had found 108 incidents in which tires older than six years were involved in loss-of-control crashes. These incidents caused 85 deaths and 115 injuries. Slightly less than a third of the vehicles had tires that were bought used.

State governments regulate how much tread must be left on a tire — the depth varies state to state — but not the age or integrity of the tire’s structure. Mr. Kane wants tires taken off the road after six years.

Howard Levy, president of UsedTires.com in Boca Raton, Fla., said Mr. Kane’s proposal might not do consumers any favors. He said that rules regulating the age of tires on the road would mean consumers would spend more to swap out tires long before their useful life was over. The tire makers would love this, of course. “I don’t see where the real benefit comes for the consumer,” he said.

If you want to know how old your tires are, look at the wall of the tire for the word “DOT” followed by six numbers. The first two designate the factory where it was made and the next four denote the week and year of its manufacture. For example, 3105 would mean the 31st week of 2005.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration site has information on that code and all the rest of the text on a tire at www.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/TireSafety/ridesonit/brochure.html#dotc

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Used Tires A Booming Business
The sale of Used Tires is a booming business.
The Rubber Manufacturers Association The trade Industry Group for Tire Makers estimates an estimates 30 Million Used Tires are sold to motorists every year.
Safety Research and Strategies Inc,of Massachusetts,a so called "consumer watchdog" is on the attack against the Used Tire Industry.
This Used Tire Dealer owner of Used Tires Inc,and the websites/URL's

www.usedtire.com

www.usedtires.com

www.usedtrucktire.com

www.usedtrucktires.net

Has the following to say about the product we sell!!!!!
SRS is headed by Sean Kane.This Used Tire Dealer had a conversation with Mr Kane two days ago. After Tire Business an Industry Trade Journal had a report on its website,
www.tirebusiness.com

After reading the posting on Mr. Kanes website alluding to the Used Tire industry selling product that may have hidden dangers and is questioning the industries inspection techniques.
First lets get the record clear. No one want to sell anyone Potentially unsafe or potentially dangerous product.The truth about tires is they are a great and durable product sometimes so durable that they may have a second life.Just because a tire was changed does not make it unsafe and a scrap tire.The tire is either good or not to be reused as a "USED TIRE" that will be determined after it is inspected.To discard a "Used Tire before its time is to reverse twenty years of progress the Tire Industry has made in dealing with Scrap tires and their Recycling.The federal government thru the EPA recognizes the sale of Used Tires as the highest form of recycling "REUSE".
In our conversation Mr Kane admitted his group is funded by Trial Attorneys. Mr Kane claims there is a need for better and more rigorous inspections and seems bent on the use of a shearographic machine and insinuates all large used tire resellers should have one.He also is bent on a tire aging law.
During our conversation Mr Kane admitted not all tires are created equal and climate,driving conditions, the driver ,and the actual tire itself the speed rating and rubber composition are all factors in determining the life of a tire.Mr.kane agreed with this tire dealer that a Z rated tire with 4/32" of tread remaining
would last longer than a tire of a lower speed rating with 4/32" remaining.So just raising the minimum tread depth standard would accomplish basically nothing.This used tire dealer has been to Federal Court in Puerto Rico and to the First Circuit Court Of appeals in Boston to defend our constitutional right to sell a legitimate article
of
commerce "UsedTires" 30million consumers can not be wrong!!!!!

Mr Kane alluded to the fact that when this Used Tire Dealer of over twenty years said I,and any company I was ever associated with Have Never Been sued for selling a defective product he allude it was because they could not track the tire from its making thru its ultimate sale as a Used Tire. Well Mr Kane I to have Plaintiff lawyers some
of the Best here in Broward County Florida www.koppelandbates.com
and you and I know the tire can be tracked.How else can you allude you have documented 85 cases here and they sold used.
Mr. Kane all tires in use today on the roads of Ameica are USED TIRES including those you drove to work on today!!!!

Mr Kane as I suggested to you in our conversation ANYONE who Drives on the road today with out question the single most dangerous thing on the road is motorists
TALKING ON CELL PHONES WHILE DRIVING" Please Mr Kane start research on the Makers of cell Phones and the cell Phone companies and see how many people their product has indirectly mamed and injured and go bother them!!!!You will be doing all of us a favor saving hundreds of thousand of potential accidents from occurring.

Used Tires and Safety

About 30 million used tires were sold in the United States last year, almost 10 percent of all replacement tires sold.

Used tires are a money-saving choice for people who need to replace tires on a leased vehicle or on a car they are planning to sell soon. A new Goodyear Eagle RS-A that goes for about $100 at a Big O tire store sells for about $18 at BorderTire.com, a used-tire dealer.

Jobbers collect used tires from tire stores and the auto departments of Wal-Mart or Sears after they are replaced with new tires. The used-tire companies can get about $1 each by scrapping them or up to $10 apiece selling them to tire dealers. The profit margins for used tires are far better than for new tires, which explains why almost every tire store sells them.

Reputable dealers examine the tires and grade them. But the problem is that most consumers, unless they have a degree in polymer science, will not be able to see flaws in a tire. Some tires are detailed — that is, meticulously cleaned — and even painted so they look younger.

Sean Kane, an auto safety consultant at Safety Research and Strategies (safetyresearch.net) in Rehoboth, Mass., said that although consumers look at the depth of tire tread, the real concern should be the age of the tire. He wrote in a recent issue of The Safety Record, his firm’s newsletter, that “tires age in a way that often cannot be detected visually.”

A tire that looks new can be deteriorating internally, he said, in the same way that an old rubber band in your desk drawer might gradually develop cracks. It all depends on how the tire has been driven — underinflation ruins a tire — or where it has been stored.

Mr. Kane said that the scope of problem tires was unknown. But he said that he had found 108 incidents in which tires older than six years were involved in loss-of-control crashes. These incidents caused 85 deaths and 115 injuries. Slightly less than a third of the vehicles had tires that were bought used.

State governments regulate how much tread must be left on a tire — the depth varies state to state — but not the age or integrity of the tire’s structure. Mr. Kane wants tires taken off the road after six years.

Howard Levy, president of UsedTires.com in Boca Raton, Fla., said Mr. Kane’s proposal might not do consumers any favors. He said that rules regulating the age of tires on the road would mean consumers would spend more to swap out tires long before their useful life was over. The tire makers would love this, of course. “I don’t see where the real benefit comes for the consumer,” he said.

If you want to know how old your tires are, look at the wall of the tire for the word “DOT” followed by six numbers. The first two designate the factory where it was made and the next four denote the week and year of its manufacture. For example, 3105 would mean the 31st week of 2005.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration site has information on that code and all the rest of the text on a tire at www.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/TireSafety/ridesonit/brochure.html#dotcode.

15 years and Nothing has Changed the New Tire Makers still out to destroy the sellers of Used Tires.

Brazil Opens Its Borders to Goods From Abroad

By JAMES BROOKE, NY TIMES
Published: August 16, 1993

As a result of all these sales, the nation's trade surplus with the United States has dwindled, falling to $1.8 billion in 1992 from $5 billion in 1988. During that period, American exports to Brazil grew by 35 percent, hitting $5.7 billion last year. Over all, Latin America constitutes the world's fastest growing market for American exports.

Brazil's imports from all nations hit $11.1 billion during the first half of 1993. This was the highest level on record and an 18 percent increase from the comparable period last year.

Japanese and Korean consumer goods are also entering Brazil's market, but American exporters seem to enjoy an edge based, in part, on Brazilians' long-term cultural affinity with the United States.

Every year, about a million Brazilians study English at private language academies. This year, about 400,000 Brazilians are expected to visit the United States, the most popular tourist destination for Brazilians.

Brazil's economy -- which accounts for about 40 percent of the Latin American economy -- is expected to grow by 3 percent this year; as a rule, every 1 percent of new economic growth in Latin America increases United States exports by about $5 billion, according to Peter Hakim, president of the Inter-American Dialogue, a private study group in Washington. By comparison, every 1 percent of economic growth in Japan yields only a $1 billion increase in imports of American goods.

Hidden behind the flashy new consumer goods filling shelves here, the fastest growing sector of Brazil's imports is capital goods. Brazilian companies have responded to the competition by either seeking Government protection or by investing to make their factories internationally competitive.

Textile manufacturers, auto makers, tire manufacturers and growers of rice and wheat have all demanded import quotas in recent months.

"It seems to be a lot tougher for Brazilians to get licenses to import used tires this year," said Howard J. Levy, president of Tire Source Inc. of Pompano Beach, Fla., a major used tire exporter. He attributed the change to pressure by Brazilian tire manufacturers.

So far, however, the Government has resisted calls for import quotas, and in their absence many companies are cutting prices and improving products to compete with the imports.

Brazil's car industry, dominated by local operations of Ford, Fiat, General Motors and Volkwagen, plans to invest $2 billion to modernize production lines in the 1990's. This year, the industry plans to introduce 10 new models; it normally introduces two models a year. Productivity Gains

With tariffs on imported cars now at 35 percent, down from 85 percent in 1990, car manufacturers have increased worker productivity by 46 percent since 1990, according to a study by Exame, Brazil's leading business magazine.

"Our imports are only to fill niches in our product line," said Cassio Pagliarini, marketing plan manager here for Ford. In addition to the Explorer, Ford plans to start importing Taurus cars from the United States in March. By the end of this year, General Motors do Brasil plans to start importing Calibra cars from its German factories and Lumina APV mini-vans from a factory in Tarrytown, N.Y.

Over all, car imports are expected to hit 30,000 units this year, only 3 percent of Brazil's expected domestic production of one million cars.

In the processed food sector, Brazilian companies reacted to the import threat by improving packaging and by introducing 600 products during the first half of this year -- twice as many as during all of last year.

Prices in the electronics sector have dropped by an average of 40 percent since 1989, according to a survey by Veja, a weekly news magazine, which reported that the price of a locally made Gradiente videocassette player fell to $464 from $1,125. The price of a Sharp fax machine dropped to $630 from $1,600.

But the developments -- a boon for consumers and importers -- have often meant a loss for Brazilian workers. Many of the cost savings have been achieved by importing parts and laying off workers. Over the last four years, Gradiente increased the foreign-made portion of its television from 5 percent to 80 percent, while slashing its work force to 2,700 employees from 9,000.

The big three or The THREE SISTERS it appears are once again at their conspiratorial work probably violating all kinds of federal laws in the name of trying to eliminate their competition "sellers of used tires"' which in many cases are the same tire dealers they sell!!

The BIG LIE comes in the form of a service bulletin which is ridiculous!!!
Hey Goodyear, Hey Bridgestone, Hey Michelin
How do you retread tires???"
THE TIRE INDUSTRIES DIRTY LITTLE SECRET IS NOT THE SALE OF USED TIRES..
THE TIRE INDUSTRIES DIRTY LITTLE SECRET IS THE BIG THREE SELL RETREADS AND RETREADS NEED A USED TIRE IN ORDER TO BE MANUFACTURED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A casing is a USED TIRE...That is right a casing which is the raw material the basic carcass that is A USED TIRE. Please Federal Trade Commision Please Dept of Justice Antitrust divisions investigate this concerted effort via The Rubber Manufacturers Association by its members the Three sisters who do not wish to compete fairly!!!!!!!!
Goodyear already has plead guilty of violating the Foreign Corrupt practices act when they illegally sold tires to IRAQ during a time period when it was prohibite!! It is time the federal Government investigate the concerted efforts being made by Tire manufactureres who at best speak out of both sides of their mouths..Modern tire dealer reports these three companies control Bridgestone 44% Goodyear 27.5% and Michelin 21% of the domestic retread ruck tire market>>>>>>>
HOW CAN THEY RETREAD A TIRE WITH THE SAME RESTRICTIONS APPLIED TO A CASING WHICH IS A USED TIRE
TRUTH BE TOLD THEIR PRODUCT MADE NEW IS SO GOOD IT CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE LIFE BE IT AS A USED TIRE OR A RETREADED USED TIRE........
MAYBE THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD INVESTIGATE THROUGH THE FTC THE MILEAGE WARRANTY CLAIMS REPRESENTED BY MANUFACTURERS AND THEIR AUTHORIZED DEALERS??????
