The fifth annual National Tire Safety Week will be held April 23-29, 2006, reports the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA).
The event is an initiative of RMA's "Be Tire Smart -- Play Your PART" program, which helps drivers learn simple steps they can take to ensure that their tires are in good working condition.
More than 12,000 tire and auto retail locations distributed RMA's Be Tire Smart brochure for this year's event. Additionally, many retailers incorporated National Tire Safety Week in advertising and promotions, held events to check motorists' tire pressure for free, and promoted tire care and maintenance in local media.
Free National Tire Safety Week materials are available online at www.betiresmart.org.
