Thank you for joining in and welcome

I finally clicked the link to the petition, was worse than I thought... no facts only opinion. Looks like something from CRASH or PATT (Trucker hate groups not unrelated to KKK or Black Panthers.)

Each year over 2,000,000 retread tires are found along our nation's highways. Trucks travelling 60 mph and over, lose these retreads causing accidents and deaths. These tires are a cheap way of keeping 18 wheelers rolling. When these retreads come off of a tire they come off fast and hard. If the rubber from the tire were to hit your windshield, it could cause serious injury, or even death. Ask the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to ban these tires for use on 18 wheelers.
Really??? Looks like it was written by a child
