A new law requires tire makers to start telling consumers how fuel-efficient a tire is.

Right now, the only fuel efficiency information comes from independent testing organizations, such as Consumer Reports, which test tires' rolling resistance. The NHTSA is supposed to have the new rule in place by the end of 2009, according to news reports. The law also calls for the creation of a nationwide program to educate consumers about tire maintenance, such as proper tire pressure, alignment, rotation and treadwear -- all of which can boost fuel economy, safety and durability.
