New blog hints at good times for dealers

June 5, 2009

MTD Editor Bob Ulrich recently returned from a 2,665 mile trip to see how tire dealers were faring. He touches on his observations in his latest blog, "MTD editor encounters good news on the road."

In addition to independent tire dealerships, Ulrich visited warehouse clubs and talked with a used car dealer. The adventure will be chronicled in Modern Tire Dealer later this year.

All his blogs can be found by visiting www.moderntiredealer.com, and clicking on first "Blogs" and then B.O.B. One blog, "Will domestic tiremakers back a Chinese tire quota?" (April 23) was even quoted in a recent United States International Trade Commission hearing.
