TIA Announces "Truck Tires at 10" Sessions For 2010 Global Tire Expo - Powered By TIA
Bowie, MD - The Tire Industry Association (TIA), one of the leading global authorities on tires, today announced the Truck Tires at 10 educational sessions for the 2010 Global Tire Expo - powered by TIA, which is a part of the 2010 SEMA Show, taking place November 1-5, 2010 in Las Vegas, NV.

Truck Tires at 10:
Wednesday, November 3: Bead Lubricants and Chamber Fires - Commercial tire service and retreading have basically operated independent of each other for years, but the problem of chamber fires has been linked to certain bead lubricants and release agents. Besides the possible link to chamber fires, the use of these compounds also poses an occupational health risk to employees. This seminar will address the risks of using flammable bead lubricants and introduce extensive research on a new bead lubricant and release agent that is petroleum-free and non-flammable.
Thursday, November 4: TMC Radial Tire & Disc Wheel Service Manual - Last year, the Technology and Maintenance Council (TMC) of the American Trucking Associations (ATA) released the TMC Radial Tire & Disc Wheel Service Manual, a project that took years to complete and is the work of TMC's S.2 Tire and Wheel Study Group. This seminar will outline the information contained in the TMC Radial Tire & Disc Wheel Service Manual and demonstrate how it can be used as a reference in the field.
Interested Expo attendees can find out the latest session and speaker information, as well as hotel reservation and TIA special event information by visiting the "Events" section of www.tireindustry.org.

The Tire Industry Association (TIA) has a history that spans more than 80 years and includes several name changes. Originally known as the National Tire Dealers & Retreaders Association (NTDRA), the organization gave birth over the years to the American Retreaders Association (ARA) and the Tire Association of North America (TANA). ARA changed its name to the International Tire & Rubber Association (ITRA) and merged with TANA in 2002 to form the current Tire Industry Association (TIA), which now represents every interest in the tire industry.
