MOVERS, SHAKERS & NEWSMAKERS THE MOST READ & TOP STORIES FROM THE PAST 12 MONTHS The past 12 months may go down as the busiest period in the North American tire industry in some time. Billions in new tire plant construction were committed. Industry associations chased tire repair laws. Tire thefts grew in number and audacity. And an old, familiar tire brand made a reappearance. On the other side of the spectrum, truly tragic events marred the year, with multiple brutal tire store shootings and a catastrophic lost-load accident reminding us of the fragility of life, while the passing of two industry giants challenged us all to make meaningful personal and professional contributions. Our new Sourcebook feature – Movers, Shakers & Newsmakers – recounts the key events of the past 12 months, from the unique perspective of both TIRE REVIEW readers and our editors. Over the last 12 consecutive months (September 2011 to August 2012), TIRE REVIEW has reported on more than 2,300 individual stories impacting the tire industry, posting them to our industry-leading web-

site, forwarding many of these with our daily (and totally free) e-newsletter, and running some in the pages of the monthly magazine. Tens of thousands of votes – in the form of unique page views on TireReview.com – were cast by loyal readers, and those stories with the most views made The Reader’s Poll: Top 12 Stories From the Last 12 Months. The Editor’s Poll: Top 20 Tire News Stories Over the Last 12 Months is our take on the top stories, from both the pages of TIRE REVIEW and the thousands of news stories posted on TireReview.com. Clearly, TIRE REVIEW readers had their eyes on certain subjects, often quite different than those of our editors. Out of all these stories, which caught your eye?

2 Killed, 2 Wounded in N.C. Tire Store Shooting –

A customer and an employee were killed and two others wounded when a gunman opened fire at a tire dealership in East Durham, N.C. A fifth person – the store’s owner, John Turner – injured his head when he sought cover as the man fired shots inside and outside JT Tire, according to local reports. Killed were store employee Naomi Turner Wright, 65, and Abdelgadir Mergany Abdelganir, 32, a taxi driver at the store for work on his car. “We never thought something like this would happen out here,” Michael Turner, whose wife is the daughter of store owner John Turner, told the Durham Herald Sun. John Turner, who is in his late 60s, was not shot, but injured his head during the shootings. He was transported to the hospital for treatment.

Man Dies When Tire/Wheel Assembly Hits Windshield –

A 27-year-old Massachusetts man was killed when a truck tire/wheel assembly flew off the back of a flatbed semi-truck and slammed into his car. The accident occurred on I-93 near Somerville, Mass. The tire/wheel assembly was one of three being hauled by a truck that had been rented by Sullivan Tire, and was reportedly transporting the assemblies to a customer. The tire/wheel assembly, according to reports, bounced on the freeway and crossed the median into oncoming northbound traffic before smashing through the windshield of the 2003 Mitsubishi Gallant being driven by the Lynn, Mass., man. Sullivan Tire issued a statement after the accident: “This is a horrific accident and words cannot express our sorrow. In the 56 years of this company, this is the worst day in our history.”

World’s Largest Tiremaker Celebrates Anniversary – The world’s largest tire producer churned out 381 million tires and wheels in 2011, but it wasn’t Bridgestone, Michelin, Goodyear or any familiar name. It was Lego. Yes, the toy company.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary in the tire biz, the folks at Lego remind that they do hold a few records. For example, the company churned out a stunning 381 million tires and wheels in 2011, considerably more than any traditional tiremaker and more than were shipped to dealers in the U.S. and Canada combined. Lego got its tire start in 1962 with Lego set No. 400, the first to feature proper tires and wheels. Lego has made many different kinds of tires and wheels over the years, both on- and off-road models. The largest it ever produced was a 10.7centimeter monster in 2000, and its smallest was a microscopic 14.4 millimeter tire/wheel that nodded in 1969.

Michelin Recalls 841,000 L/T Tires –

Michelin North America recalled some 841,000 light truck and commercial light truck tires due to tread separation concerns. Specifically, the tiremaker recalled BFGoodrich Commercial T/A A/S and Uniroyal Laredo HD/H tires sold in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. While company officials said they could not “pinpoint” an exact cause, the tiremaker discovered the tread separation concerns from regular field checks. MNA said, “The customer return rate for tread and/or air loss was 0.017%, which equates to about 143 tires. However, any tire produced in the range of the recall could exhibit these conditions.” The tires in question, typically fitted to commercial light trucks and fullsized heavy-duty vans, are no longer being produced.

Jury Sides with Assistant Managers in Schwab OT Suit –

An Oregon jury ruled that Les Schwab Tire Centers “routinely and systematically” failed to pay its assistant managers overtime even as it required them to work 60 hours or more per week. The Multnomah County Circuit Court jury found in favor of a group of some 200 former and current Les Schwab store assistant managers who sued the company in September 2008 over the overtime issue. The Bend, Ore.-based retailer said it would appeal the verdict. According to The Oregonian, “The jury ruled that Les Schwab worked its assistant managers 66 hours a week on average, including every other Saturday,” and that the company incorrectly “deemed the assistant managers exempt from Oregon’s wage-and-hour laws requiring that they be paid timeand-a-half for hours worked beyond a regular 40-hour workweek.” September/2012 -

Cooper Update: Sides Disagree on Future Talks, Workers Angry at USW –

Despite numerous reports that both sides were headed to a meeting with a federal mediator, at this juncture it appears there will be no further negotiations between Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. and locked out USW workers at the tiremaker’s Findlay, Ohio, plant. After both sides clearly stated that they would return to the bargaining table following the holidays and that a session with the mediator had been scheduled for Jan. 12, the meeting was suddenly called off – and the tiremaker claimed that no such meeting was even scheduled. The two sides had not met since Dec. 13. Cooper locked out the 1,050 USW workers at the plant on Nov. 28, and shortly thereafter began ferrying in an estimated 500 replacement workers, many of whom were formerly employed at its now closed Albany, Ga., tire plant.

TBC Steps in to Buy Midas in $310 Million Deal –

Sumitomo Corp. of America-owned TBC Corp. bought automotive service and tire retailer Midas Inc. in a deal estimated at $310 million. TBC called the $11.50 per share tender offer a “merger.” The tender offer will be made by March 28, TBC said, and represents a 28% premium over Midas’ March 12 closing price. The sale of Midas was no surprise; last August the company announced it would “explore and evaluate a range of strategic and financial alternatives,” and hired J.P. Morgan Securities. Midas’ board claimed it involved some 100 “parties” in the process, 36 of which went through a due diligence process. The Midas Inc. footprint includes nearly 2,300 franchised, licensed and company-owned shops in 15 countries.

N.Y. Senate Committee OKs Tire Repair Legislation –

New York’s Senate Transportation Committee approved legislation that would require automotive repair shops to properly repair tires. The Proper Tire Repair Act would impose a $500 penalty on a repair shop that attempted to repair tires without removing the tire from the wheel, inspecting for damage and ensuring that a repair conforms to repair procedures supported by tiremakers. The Senate Transportation Committee passed the bill on June 5, during National Tire Safety Week. “This legislation will help protect motorists from the risks of improperly repaired tires,” Dan Zielinski, senior vice president of the RMA, said at the time. “Despite years of effort by tire manufacturers, tire dealer organizations and tire repair materials manufacturers to educate repair shops about proper repair, too many improper repairs are performed. RMA supports these bills and urges New York legislators to enact this legislation.”

Cooper Pulling Equipment from Findlay, Ark. Contract Vote Thursday – While locked out workers were hopeful the new contract reached in Arkansas will bring labor peace to their plant, Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. has begun moving tire production equipment out of its Findlay, Ohio, tire plant. TIRE REVIEW contacted Cooper for a comment on reports that the tiremaker was removing the equipment, but received no response. In a comment released to both the Toledo Blade and Findlay Courier, Cooper stated: “In addition to using highly skilled temporary workers to ramp up productivity in the Findlay plant, we have also taken other steps that include rebalancing our global capacity and moving some equipment from the Findlay plant to our other plants in North America, Europe and Asia.” Meanwhile, the 1,500 members of USW Local 752 at Cooper’s Texarkana, Ark., plant were set to vote on a tentative agreement reached on Jan . 19.

Congress OKs Punitive Tariffs on China-Made Tires –

Congress passed legislation that would allow the government to impose higher tariffs on goods from state-controlled economies that subsidize exports to the U.S. The legislation was drafted and presented in reaction to the December 2011 federal appeals court ruling that the Commerce Department did not have the power to levy so-called punitive countervailing duties, effectively tossing out a series of duties – some as high as 210% – it placed on China-produced OTR and ag tires imported into the U.S. Those added duties, placed on the products in 2008, severely damaged the U.S.’s small OTR and ag tire markets and led to the bankruptcy and eventual dismantling of importer and marketer GPX International. The House passed the new tariff measure 370-39 yesterday, and the Senate passed its version the day prior with a voice vote and no debate. The bill has been sent to President Obama for his signature.

Dealer Employee Killed in Robbery Shooting –

Baton Rouge, La., police were looking for a man who shot and killed a tire store employee during an armed robbery of the store. Shortly before 7 p.m. on June 20, police said, an unidentified man entered the Tire Discount location on Plank Road in the city, and shot Zaharn Abuawwad, 20, who worked at the store. Police did not release information on what was taken from the Tire Discount location, or how many witnesses there were.

Auto Centers Closing as Part of Sears Reduction – At least 30 Sears Auto Centers will be among those locations closed as part of Sears Holding Corp.’s plan to close as many as 120 of its retail stores. The reeling retailer announced before the holidays that it would close from 120 to 140 Sears and Kmart stores in an effort to reduce costs. Sears Holding already announced 79 specific stores that will be closed, and among that group are 27 locations with Sears Auto Centers. More of those centers will surely be among the 40-60 additional stores Sears Holding will close. Prior to the closings, Sears operated 768 auto centers at 842 of its full-line Sears stores.

Gores Group Says No to Pep Boys, Stock Tumbles –

Gores Group, a Los Angeles-based private-equity firm, canceled its plans to buy Pep Boys in a $1 billion deal after the retailer posted lower than expected first quarter results. Pep Boys also declined a Gores Group request to delay a May 30 shareholder vote on the acquisition in order to review Pep Boys’ financials for potential “material adverse effect” that could void the deal. Shares of Pep Boys on the New York Stock Exchange fell more than 24% after news of the deal’s cancellation was first revealed earlier this month. Gores Group paid Pep Boys some $50 million and reimbursed the retailer for some merger-related expenses as settlement “for any and all potential claims that Pep Boys could assert under the terms of the merger agreement,” Pep Boys said in a statement.

CONSUMER PROFILE

Drivers. Customers. Consumers. Patrons. Guests. Whatever you call them, they’re the ones you count on to make your cash register sing. But do you really know about them and how they approach the entire tire and vehicle service business? What they like about your shop or your competition? What about the brands you carry? What pushes their purchase decision? How loyal are they to you – or the tire brands you represent? Thanks to the work of Marketplace Insights, we take you inside the mind of real-world tire and service buyers. Marketplace Insights conducts national and local customer attitude studies for numerous tire dealers and tire companies. For the national study this Consumer Profile was

drawn from, Marketplace Insights conducted 13,000 online interviews with recent tire and service buyers in 26 metro markets across the U.S. Those 26 markets represent an estimated 55% of the total retail replacement consumer tire demand in the U.S. This report came from January-February 2012 interviews with recent tire and service buyers, with the results distilled into detailed national and metro market reports measuring buyer actions, thought processes and loyalty. For more information about this study or Marketplace Insights’ other research offerings, contact John Montgomery at john@mpinsights.com or at 920-4878020.

TIRE BRAND STUDY

It’s amazing what a year will do. Last year we saw the direct impact of tightened tire supplies and – at least on the consumer side – sharply reduced retail tire sales. This year, dealers responding to our 20th annual Tire Brand Study showed greater appreciation for second and third tier tire brands, which stepped up to fill product screen holes left by higher-priced, lower fill rate majors. Every year since 1992, TIRE REVIEW has asked North American tire dealers to rate the performance of the tire brands – consumer and medium truck – they regularly carry and sell. Whether the customer is across the retail counter or a busy truck fleet, dealers depend on the “value” of the brands they represent and what they deliver – in real terms – to the end-user. Tiremakers, conversely, depend on dealers to carry their marketing and technology messages to those end-users. And it

appears this year that some manufacturers are falling flat. TIRE REVIEW’s annual Tire Brand Study is not a scientific research project; it only measures dealer opinions and perceptions about the brands they offer. Dealers were not permitted to comment on brands they did not carry, and consumers and end-users were not polled. No tires were physically tested. TIRE REVIEW collected and analyzed dealer responses from some 2,000 completed telephone surveys of retail and commercial tire dealers, and measures were taken to ensure a fair sampling of dealers geographically and to limit the impact of large regional or national dealerships. The results published here obviously do not include all brands mentioned; to make this list, a consumer brand had to have at least 40 mentions, and a medium truck tire brand needed at least 20 mentions.

SB Bold entries indicate the 2011 category leader. Dealers were asked to rate each brand of tires they regularly carried on a 1 to 10 scale – 10 being highest – on a series of categories. An aggregate overall score for each brand was calculated, averag-

ing the results from each category. TIRE REVIEW’s Brand Study results are available by contacting Bob Roberts, research manager, at 330670-1234 ext. 252, or by e-mailing broberts@babcox.com.

(Continued from page 136) want us to stay in business. If we go under, who will you sell parts to?” Guy had a point: a blunt one, but a point. We tossed around some ideas, and then returned to our own shops. Quigley looked up from his computer terminal as I walked in. “Well, any pearls of wisdom to report this morning?” “Just come with me,” I said, heading for the stairs. “We’ve got work to do.” It took most of the day, but by afternoon coffee I was able to gather the crew upstairs on the mezzanine above the tire and parts room. “Hey, cool gear, boss!” exclaimed Beanie, gazing at the comfortable chairs gathered around a new flat screen TV. A DVD player and an Internet-ready computer stood to the side. The throw rug on the plywood floor was accented by a small coffee table with bowls of chips,

pretzels, and most importantly, remote controls. “Gentlemen,” I announced. “Welcome to Training Central. I’ve decided that since keeping current with the latest tire information and repair procedures is so important, that we’ll try and do most of it from right here. Quigley and I will schedule the work so that each month all of you will have time to keep yourself up to date.” Tooner removed his ball cap and scratched his head. “Whoa, ya mean on company time an’ all? I guess I’ll have to quit falling asleep during the training sessions from now on.” “That would be helpful,” I said dryly. “Well done, Slim,” remarked Basil. “Does that TV get my favorite cooking show, by any chance?” Beanie opened the mini-fridge and peeked inside. “Hey, check out the refreshments. I’m up first!” He dug

into the stack of training DVDs we already owned (but nobody had watched) while Basil threw a bag of popcorn into the microwave. Before long, we had a real party going on. “Hey, can I invite the guys from Spoke Lee’s over tonight for a session? They’d love this!” Okay, call it bribery. But between training videos, online courses and even the technical forums available on the net, I’m going to do all I can to keep up with this crazy industry. Grabbing a bag of chocolate chip cookies out of the small pantry, I sat down. Who knows; maybe even the boss can learn a thing or two.

TRAINING ON TRIAL Know What You Don’t Know to Get the Most Out of Training

ornin’ Slim. Need a refill on that coffee?” Rolph held the cast-iron coffee pot steady with both hands. It was much heavier than stainless steel models, but necessary – Rolph’s coffee is not for the faint of heart. Or metal. “Sure, why not.” I pulled on my protective goggles as the boiling liquid hit the ceramic mug with an acidic hiss. It was our monthly gathering of shop owners at Rolph’s Diner, an event sponsored by Herkle’s Auto Parts, our local supplier. Sitting around the table were Dieter, the local import service guy; Harry from Block Busters, the engine rebuild shop; Spoke Lee from The Alignment Shop; Guy from The Tire Guy and Dutchy, the local tow truck operator. I suspect he only came for the free cinnamon buns. Herk wiped some crumbs from his mustache and banged the side of his mug with a spoon. “Gentlemen,” he began. “For today’s discussion, I’ve chosen the topic of training courses.” Spoke groaned. “Herk, I’m fed up with training courses. I can’t get my guys to go anymore and I’m tired of harassing ‘em. Just last week my head tech told me straight out that he’s been doing brakes and front ends for so long that he knows everything there is to learn.” He swallowed some coffee and grimaced. “He says he wouldn’t go to another course, even if I paid him.” “Ja, and dat’s your problem,” interjected Dutchy. “You only send ‘em on deir own time. I mean, what do you expect, dat de’ll be all excited about TIRE REVIEW

sitting through a night class after working hard all day? And on deir own dime, ta boot?” Harry joined in the fray. “Why shouldn’t they? It’s for their own benefit.” He snorted. “Truth is, they figure they got better things to do at night, like fix cars on the side for their buddies!” He scowled at

Dutchy. “And look who’s talking; you’ve never taken a refresher course in your life.” Dutchy shrugged. “Why should I? I just tow the junkers; I don’t have to fix ‘em.” A heated debate broke out, requiring Herk’s intervention. “Now calm down, men. Believe me, I’ve heard all the excuses too, but that don’t change things. Especially now with the new hybrid vehicles coming out, training and upgrading is a necessary evil, whether we like it or not.” Dieter spoke up. “I know training’s important, Herk. I pay my guys’ expenses and even send them during the day if I have to. But they’re get-

ting tired of it and don’t want to go anymore.” “How come?” asked Herk. “They’ll fall behind if they don’t stay current.” Dieter added more sugar to his coffee. “Well, to be honest, some of the stuff we’ve seen lately has been pathetic. There’s gotta be some quality control if I’m going to keep investing in my guys like this.” “I hear ya,” Herk admitted. “Even some of the courses put on by my own association ain’t been the greatest.” “It’s not your fault, Herk,” I said. “I’ll bet even the instructors get frustrated trying to teach a class of tired technicians, most of whom don’t want to be there.” “Tell me about it.” Herk lowered his voice. “Just the other day, Dave at Ford told me they’re doing a course on power stroke diesels, and even inviting the independents. D’ya know what one service manager told him? ‘My tech knows everything there is to know about Fords, so he don’t need to come.’” He shook his head. “Can you imagine the arrogance?” “It’s not arrogance, Herk,” said Dieter. “It’s just plain ignorance. Most guys don’t know what they don’t know. It’s the old head in the sand scenario.” Herk leaned back and sighed. “That’s why I brought the subject up today. You all know I’ve been promoting upgrade courses for years now, but I’ll tell ya, I’m getting tired of all the excuses. I wonder why I bother.” Guy snorted. “Why you bother? Yeah, I mean that’s obvious. You (Continued on page 135)
