FALLS CHURCH, Va. (March 15, 2013) — The Tire Retread & Repair Information Bureau (TRIB) will give away more than $10,000 worth of retreaded tires during its "Spot The Retreads" competition at the Mid-America Trucking Show, taking place March 21-23 in Louisville, Ky.
Visitors to TRIB's booth (No. 13036) can enter the contest and try to correctly identify a range of new and retreaded tires. Those who correctly identify each tire will be entered into daily drawings for sets of eight commercial truck tires to be retreaded on the participants' own casings, TRIB said. Seven sets of retreaded tires will be awarded.
Retreading services for the winners is being provided by TRIB members, including AcuTread Alliance Group, Bridgestone Bandag Tire Solutions, Continental Tire the Americas L.L.C., Goodyear, Marangoni Tread North America, Michelin Retread Technologies and Oliver Rubber Co.
"Investing in retreaded tires always makes sense given the massive economic and environmental benefits they offer," said TRIB Managing Director David Stevens. "But in an environment where raw material prices for tires continue to increase and fuel prices continue to rise, retreaded tires make even more sense, whether you are an owner-operator with one truck or a fleet with hundreds."
