Beach open

New TIA president promises action on counterfeit tires, tire aging and other issues

By: Mike Manges

Dan Beach, the incoming president of the Tire Industry Association (TIA), knows retail. During his 40-year career in the tire industry, Beach ran retail operations for one of the world’s largest tire manufacturers, operated his own chain of stores and until the end of 2008 will continue to serve as CEO and president of the Tire Alliance Groupe (TAG), a buying group comprised of large regional tire dealerships that encompass more than 1,400 retail outlets throughout the United States.

“My whole background has been focused on the retail side of the business,” says Beach, who takes the gavel from outgoing TIA President Peggy Fisher this month during the 2008 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show.
