STL said the seminars are designed for anyone directly or indirectly involved in the industry who is seeking a general understanding of tire design, construction and performance.

The two- and-a-half-day seminars provide an overview of tire industry terminology and technology, the raw materials that go into the making of a tire, along with the design, applications, compounding, construction and manufacturing processes.

Registration is $900 and includes admission to the seminars, all materials, three luncheons, an evening banquet and refreshments throughout the course. Deadline to register for the June 5-7 class is May 18, and for the Oct. 2-4 class is Sept. 14. Interested parties can request a registration form by calling STL at 800-833-8547.
