Sean Kane. TIA reps. Same room. 'Nuff said

Nov. 20, 2009

Sean Kane and the Tire Industry Association (TIA) find themselves on opposite sides of the fence when it comes to tire aging.

Kane sponsored a bill in California requiring full disclosure surrounding a tire’s age before it is purchased or installed. As you might expect, TIA was against.

What would happen if Kane and TIA representatives found themselves in the same room? No need to wonder -- it happened recently during the first International Roundtable at the Specialty Equipment Market Association Show in Las Vegas.

And if you have any thoughts about the (historic? chance? inevitable? anticlimactic?) meeting, please leave a comment!
