A "Spot The Retreads" competition is once again coming to the Feb. 20-23 Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) Annual Meeting & Exhibition in Tampa, Fla.

Presented by the Tire Retread & Repair Information Bureau (TRIB), visitors to the organization’s booth No. 1039 will be able to get hands-on with a selection of new and retreaded tires to see if they can tell the difference.

Contestants who correctly identify all the tires will be entered into a drawing to win a Tire Industry Association (TIA) Fleet Tire Service OSHA Compliance Training Program worth $300.

“We had a great time with this competition at TMC Supertech in the fall, and only 17 percent of exhibition participants were able to correctly identify all the tires,” recounts TRIB managing director David Stevens.

“We’ll see if the group attending the annual meeting fare any better,” he adds, “as these tires are a real testament to the continually improving engineering and manufacturing process for retreaded tires.”

Stevens notes that the ongoing performance and value-added aspects of retreads “reinforces how they should be a part of any fleet’s overall tire program.”
