Tires: Barry, about the tire business..., tire business, tire industry

Question
Barry:  I do not know if my questions are appropriate for this site, but it is information I need from an "insider".  Could you tell me what (or which) trade magazine(s) people in the tire business subscribe to.  Also, what is the main national trade show that tire dealers attend?  One more thing, what is the name of the main trade association to which members of your industry belong?

Answer
Roger,

A lot of this depends on what part of the business you are in.  If you're in the manufacturing and design end, you'll have a different set of anse=wers than if you are in the retail end.  But based on the way you asked the question, I suspect you are asking from the dealer end.

And the answers are:

Modern Tire Dealer, SEMA, Tire Industry Association
