Tallahassee,Fl,USA -Today's Trucking -31 Jan 2007 -The Tire Retread Information Bureau (TRIB) has responded toa bill introduced by Florida State Senator Victor D. Cristthat would prohibit the use of retreaded tires on most commercial vehicles on Florida highways...The statebill, S912,"prohibits the use of recapped or retreaded tires on truck tractors, pole trailers or semi-trailers operated on public roads, streets, or highways of this state." If approved, the ban would take effect July 1, 2007, according toHarvey Brodsky, managing director of TRIB..."We believe this bill would greatly impede the retread and trucking industry in Florida and would create havoc with out of state trucks coming into Florida,"Brodsky wrote in an email toCrist...
