Nominations for inductees into the
Tire Industry Hall of Fame are
now being accepted through July 5 by the
Tire Industry Association
(TIA).
The Hall of Fame is open to individuals in the
tire industry, including manufacturers,
inventors, publishers, equipment suppliers,
tire association executives, tire dealers, tire
and rubber recyclers and retreaders.
Inductees are chosen based on the following
criteria: Their contributions of new ideas,
practices and/or innovations that promote the
health and well being of the tire industry;
their exemplary and distinguished service in
the tire industry; and the respect of their
peers. Contributions in civic, cultural,
educational or charitable endeavors will be
considered, but are not a primary consideration
as attributes for selection, according to
Executive Vice President Roy
Littlefield.
“The Tire Industry Hall of Fame has recognized
the tire industry’s brightest and best, and we
look forward to choosing another select group
of individuals for this year’s honor,” he
points out.
The existing HOF roster includes Harvey
Firestone, Charles Goodyear, Andre Michelin,
John Dunlop, Les Schwab and Mario
Marangoni.
New inductees will be enshrined on Oct. 31 as
part of the
TIA’s Tire Industry Honors gala at the
Global Tire Expo in Las Vegas.
