2012 in review

Soon another year will have come and gone, a year that delivered highs and lows and everything in between. As is the custom, in December’s Tyres & Accessories looks back on the year that’s been and highlight some of the issues of importance to the tyre industry. At the same time we’ll cast our eyes ahead to 2013 and what may lie around the corner. 

Around the workshop

It may be true that not all black circular objects are created equal, yet regardless of whether budget or premium, the performance of each and every tyre can be improved through correct fitment and preparation for use. In a nod towards the importance of correctly kitting a tyre out before it hits the road, in December Tyres & Accessories presents not one, but two features dedicated to this topic. Look for our tyre changer and wheel balancer plus our garage consumables features.

Reifen China review

Reporting the latest industry news involves considerable legwork and trade fairs are a rich source of information. In September Tyres & Accessories was in Shanghai for the CITExpo show; in November we returned, this time to the Reifen China show. In the December magazine we bring you our review of the event, along with news from those that were there.
