Rubber Manufacturer's Association Comes out in Support of Ohio Used Tire Law

       How to Buy a Used Tire

  • RMA estimates that 30-35 million used tires are available for sale every year. A 2015 motorist survey sponsored by RMA found that nearly 1 in 10 motorists said their car is currently riding on tires that were bought used.

    “Safety is the highest priority for the tire industry,” says Anne Forristall Luke, RMA president and CEO. “This common-sense legislation to keep dangerous used tires off the road will help improve highway and motorist safety.”





Ohio Tire & Automotive Association

       OTAA Talks about Used Tire Law

  • Legislation defining what constitutes an unsafe used tire passed out of the Committee on Public Safety and Veterans Affairs in the Ohio Senate. The bill, Senate Bill 68 is a reintroduction of legislation from the last General Assembly and companion legislation to House Bill 42. OTAA worked tirelessly with the bill sponsors and the Rubber Manufacturers’ Association to craft legislation that would protect consumers and penalize bad actors, while also avoiding regulation that would inadvertently harm the tire industry.

    Specifically, Senate Bill 68 bans the sale of tires with the following characteristics: worn-out tires (tread depth measurers 2/32nds inch or less); damage that exposes a tire’s inner components such as body plies or the steel belts; inner liner damage; tires with sidewall repairs, repairs to the belt-edge area of the tire, repairs made to punctures larger than ¼ inch, repairs that do not seal a puncture from the inside of the tire through to the outside; and damaged tires treated with a tire sealant but not subsequently repaired to industry standards.

    In addition, the bill stipulates that the installation of an unsafe used tire is a violation of the Consumer Sales Practices Act. The bill provides that offenders can be fined up to $1000 per violation. OTAA was successful in working with the bill sponsors to substitute the original strict liability standard for a negligence standard, adding protection for our members. OTAA supports the current version of this legislation and has provided proponent testimony.

    HOW TIRE DAMAGE HAPPENS

    As the automotive industry knows all too well, tires that are more than six years old are dangerous, regardless of their appearance, tread depth, or extent of use.

    Think of it like a rubber band. Even if you put one in your drawer and never touch it again, it’s ready to crumble a few years later. Rubber just can’t last.

    Internal tire degradation happens when tires weaken in integrity over time. It’s often impossible to detect degradation with the naked eye, but it’s happening nonetheless. Even experts have a difficult time assessing the roadworthiness of a tire before it falls apart, and that’s why the age of the tire is such an important indicator of safety.

    “This consumer protection bill is long overdue. It will prevent countless injuries and fatalities caused by unsafe tires.” says Ward.
