The goal of this legislation would be to increase the demand for retreaded tires and reduce the importation of cheap tires that cannot be retreaded, known as “disposable tires.”

Ryan’s office says the Commercial Vehicle Fleet Retreaded Tire Utilization Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2022 is supported by a range of auto industry leaders and manufacturers, including Bridgestone, Goodyear, the USTMA, Penske Truck Leasing, BD Transportation and Freight Service Inc./Truck One Inc.
