The Miss Retread Truck Tire Contest will once again honor the “most beautiful” retreaded medium truck tires during the North American Tire & Retread Expo on April 20.
Participants who enter a tire have the chance to win $2,500 in separate contests for pre-cured and mold-cured tires.
Last year, Techno Pneu Inc. from Canada won the pre-cured category with a Dunlop 11R 22.5 casing with Vipal VT200 tread. Recauchutagem Nortenha S.A. from Portugal took home the mold-cured category prize with a Bridgestone 385/65R 22.5 casing with Nortenha Ecotrailer tread.
This year’s judges will be David Stevens, managing director, Tire Retread & Repair Information Bureau; Jeff Young, vice president of OTR and retread products division for Rema Tip Top North America Inc.; and Tim BeVier, manager, national account business development for Tech International.
The North American Tire & Retread Expo will be held on April 19-21, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. Registration is free to all those in the tire, retread and auto service industry. For more show information and to enter a tire into the Miss Retread Truck Tire Contest, visit usatireexpo.com.
