For the last dozen years, Tire Review has shone a bright light on the
companies, people, issues and products that we think will have a
significant impact on the North American tire market in the coming year.
Always entertaining and enlightening, Tire Review’s annual Market
Influencers may not always be right, but it is THE most referenced and
discussed part of our annual Sourcebook.
As you’ll see, the 2011 edition of Market Influencers is another drive
down Bad Economy Lane, with side visits to Distribution Drive, Tire
Pricing Place and Natural Disaster Boulevard. And we take another look
back at last year’s list to see how well our predictions fared.
Plus, we reached out to members of our Advisory Board to get the
dealer’s eye view of what they think will influence the tire market
moving forward. This is one very astute group!

Market Influencers is a purely subjective exercise, with the items
determined by the editors and by those dealers participating on our
Advisory Board.
Agree or disagree, we’d love to hear your take on Market Influencers. E-mails (jsmith@babcox.com)
or phone calls (330-670-1234 ext. 298) are always welcome. And if you
have some candidates for next year’s list, please pass them along.
