The 2009 NTSW will be held from June 7-13, RMA. The move, according to RMA, was necessary to avoid a conflict with its annual meeting, which was moved to late April.
At the same time, the shift moves NTSW out of National Car Care Month, which is now held in April each year. Sponsored by the Car Care Council, National Car Care Month involves thousands of automotive service facilities nationwide; the group also holds a Fall Car Care Month in October.
RMA said that “more than 19,000” tire dealers, auto dealers, mass merchants, price clubs, tire company owned stores, automotive chain stores, automotive repair shops, and auto and tire associations participated in NTSW this year. (Tire Review/Akron)
