I bet you those Square Kanadian tires will be first on the unapproved list.

Wondering where that will put performance tires... Will those folks just go to a neighbouring state to buy their tires?

Most performance tires are grippy so rolling resistance is probably a bit high.  Guessing they'll be banned. 

If they were really worried about consumer finances they could have just lowered taxes on gas.

If I had to drive to another state to buy tires I would have a look at some houses too.
