TRIB launches YouTube channel, video on TRIB website

The Tire Retread & Repair Information Bureau has launched two new video sites on the web, with a dedicated channel on YouTube and its own video section on TRIB's website. Each site contains three videos designed to educate the public, fleet managers, and truckers about the economic and environmental benefits of retreaded tyres as well as correct the misconception that retreaded tyres cause rubber on the road.

The videos include: a tour that takes viewers inside a modern retread plant to better understand the process for retreading tyres, a video of testimonials from fleet managers in the state of California who have been using retreaded tyres with great success (including fire and school bus fleets), and a video that explains the true causes of rubber on the roads.

“We normally display these videos at tradeshow events or send them out as DVDs but these new webpages give us a great opportunity to educate a larger portion of the public about the benefits of retreaded tyres,” said TRIB managing director David Stevens. “Not only do they let people hear directly from the manufacturers and users of retreaded tires, but they also directly address the misconceptions people have about the causes of rubber on the road.”
