Car shows are fun to attend, particularly if you are looking to buy a new car in the near future. They can be instructive to tire people, too.

In his latest blog, Modern Tire Dealer Editor Bob Ulrich cites some interesting reconnaissance  performed by Kumho Tire U.S.A. Inc. at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show. Even with the spectre of the recession hanging over us, larger diameter tire sizes at the original equipment level are still trending upward.

How important is that to you, really? And what else did Kumho discover at the show?
