Application Period for TIA/Michelin Scholarship Opens
The Tire Industry Association and Michelin North America Inc. have announced that the application period for the 2020-2021 Michelin/TIA Scholarship is now open.
All the numbers for the first six months of the year are not in yet. However, import numbers through the first three months of the year and first-quarter company announcements give us a good idea of what mid-year replacement truck tire market share in the U.S. looks like.
Here are Modern Tire Dealer’s estimates for brand share at the halfway point of 2019.
And before you ask, yes, we took tariffs into consideration.
