sounds like you are farther along than we are. i wish there were more programs like that here. lots of tire go in here. lots of places sell used tires i like to buy them for some of my vehicles sometimes. so sounds like the epa fee you speak of just applies to buying new tires as long as it's included in the price great. does the tire shops have to pay for all this recycling out of the disposal fees? if so, sounds fair too.
