TRIB to Exhibit at The Great American Trucking Show

The US organisation, the Tire Retread & Repair Information Bureau (TRIB) has announced that it will be an exhibitor at the 2009 Great American Trucking Show (GATS), being held at the Dallas Convention Centre in Dallas, Texas, Thursday, 20 August to Saturday, 22 August 2009.

TRIB will be displaying a variety of retreaded truck tyres in its booth, including wide-base retreads. It will also be distributing printed materials, along with CDs & DVDs, about retreaded tyres, tyre repairing, tyre maintenance and other tyre related subjects of benefit to truckers, fleet maintenance personnel and trucking company management. In addition, TRIB will be handing out its Retread Tire Buyers Guide and materials from TRIB members. TRIB’s booth number is 14059-61.

Harvey Brodsky, managing director of TRIB, and TRIB staff member Rachel Lewis will be staffing the booth. Joining them will be TRIB members who have volunteered to help. “We invite anyone who has questions or interests about retreaded tyres, tyre repairing, tyre maintenance or anything tyre related to stop by the TRIB booth,” said Brodsky. “We would especially like to visit with those who are prejudiced against retreads. This would be a good time for them to learn just how sophisticated, high-tech and precise the retread industry is. It is a far cry from just a few years ago.

“The fact is retreaded tyres provide the same safety, reliability, performance and handling as tyres that have never been retreaded. And, retreaded tyres keep getting better and better with continuous improvements in quality and durability.” Furthermore, added Brodsky, retreaded tires help conserve valuable finite natural resources and reduce solid waste disposal problems, while being very environmentally friendly. “They may look round and black, but retreads are very green,” he quipped.

TRIB is a non-profit, member-supported industry association dedicated to the recycling of tyres through retreading and proper tyre repairing and maintenance.
