‘Winner’ Gets Within 20 PSI in TRIB Contest

Published: February 14, 2011

TRIB and TIA announced the winner of their "Guess the Pressure" contest, held at the recent ATA Technology & Maintenance Council exhibition.

Using only a tire thumper, Lawrence Adams, president of Sterling Transportation Services in Blair, Neb., managed to get within 20 PSI in “measuring” the inflation pressure of the three retreaded tires on display.

For his efforts, Adams won a TIA Fleet Tire Service OSHA Compliance Training Program worth $300. Every contestant received a free air gauge.

“Contestants’ guesses were all over the place, with many being as far off as 30 PSI per tire. But, Lawrence clearly has a gift when it comes to checking tire pressure, and we congratulate him on being the closest to the mark,” said TRIB Managing Director David Stevens.

Turbo Wholesale Tires recently held its annual open house event, where it introduced the new Lexani Volt-EC EV tire. However, as any of the hundreds of people in attendance will tell you, the event included much more than a tire launch. After registration, guests entered Turbo's new tire-filled warehouse, with half the space set aside for the tire companies and dealers, food and drinks, games and stage with a nearby pile of 89 prizes worth over $25,000.
