Apparently this California initiative on tire rolling resistance for after market tires was one of the last laws signed by Gray Davis (sp?) before he was recalled. It looks like they are trying to hold an open hearing on a final program setup:

Some of the associated web sites suggest we may have the California tire rolling resistance by December 2009. Of course there is the new Governor who has recently tried to 'greenwash' himself.
