Thirty-four percent of participants in TRIB’s annual Spot the Retreads contest, hosted at the Mid American Trucking Show, could tell the difference between the retreaded and new tires on display at the show.
There were 258 attendees that participated in TRIB’s contest, competing for a chance to win one of seven sets of eight retreaded tires or four wide-base retreaded tires.
“As in previous years, this provided a great opportunity for us to have broader discussions with the attendees about the quality of retreaded tires and the purchase options through our members for these owner-operators and fleets,” TRIB stated.
Seven winners were drawn randomly after the show. Each winner will receive a set of eight retreaded tires on their casings from TRIB member companies, including AcuTread Alliance Group, Bridgestone Bandag Tire Solutions, Continental Tire the Americas, Goodyear Retreads, Marangoni Tread North America, Michelin Retread Technologies and Oliver Rubber Co.
