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.
