LANSING, Mich. (May 12, 2016) — Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has signed a bill requiring used tire sellers to comply with the same anti-theft standards already in place for used vehicle parts merchants.
Michigan Senate Bill 331 adds motor vehicle tires, wheels, rims and continuous tire treads to the list of used vehicle components covered under a law requiring dealers in used parts to maintain records for at least one year concerning the buying or receiving of any used vehicle part.
The record must include a general description of the tire or part, the identification number of the vehicle from which the part came, the part's state of origin, the date of the transaction and the name of the individual conducting the transaction on the dealer's behalf.
