Well certainly we don't want the tire companies regulated by jack boot government thugs...let's just have the taxpayers clean up the mess, wouldn't want to inconvenience a company, or hold them responsible for their actions. That would make too much sense. Instead let's entertain some possibilities that put the burden or remediation on the citizens, where it belongs.
Lol
How about we have the tire companies pay for the street cleaning and 'filters' instead ?
Novel concept I know, but one worth exploring. I mean, filters and such are free...right?
Better yet, why don't we let the 'free market' fix it...after all...it fixes all the other problems.

Wasn’t it mentioned that 75% of the tires are manufactured in China?Well certainly we don't want the tire companies regulated by jack boot government thugs...let's just have the taxpayers clean up the mess, wouldn't want to inconvenience a company, or hold them responsible for their actions.

We kiss too much booty to see a clean up from them
Globalization means companies all over the world manufacture things in a number of different places. Goodrich manufactures in a lot of places, so does Cooper...everybody does.
The US is a big tire market, big enough that changing rubber preservatives would be done by many if not all those who wanted to be in the market.
Tire companies are owned by lots of different groups.

Not saying it's the right move, but Washington State, et al, could set a deadline and require that by 20XX all tires sold in the state had to meet certain composition requirements. States have done similar things with other products, and it's been fairly successful.
Exactly
The entire EU outlawed a bunch of crap fast food companies put in their food, and what did those companies do ?
Took it out, found substitutes, and operated by the new rules and continued to make money in that market.
This shit ain't rocket surgery here...
In the US there's an entire industry devoted to reflexive rejection of regulations on anything, and a media echosphere that amplifies it, and so this is what we get.
"Merchants of Doubt"
The same law firms, 'scientists', pr firms etc. that argued smoking isn't harmful, are now arguing climate change isn't happening, or a big deal, or their doing, and pretty sure they're soon to be arguing tire chemicals are not the problem either. It's their business to sow doubt, delay, shift blame, put the government at fault, defer, appeal and then, in the end negotiate for pennies on dollar the societal costs of their actions, a settlement. This takes decades.
If you don't notice this, perhaps it is because you haven't been paying attention.

Inspiring stuff, it will take more than one method to mitigate the impact of years of toxic chemicals usage on coho and other species, great to see younger generations working on innovative and creative alternatives.
Western Washington Student Wins Award For Hydrosponge That Captures Coho-killing Pollutant -
Kudos to a Bellevue high school student who figured out an effective and cheaper way to remove a coho-killing chemical from stormwater runoff and was recently awarded $75,000 for her idea.
