"The award is open to all individuals in the tire industry, including manufacturers, inventors, publishers, equipment suppliers, tire association executives, tire dealers, tire and rubber recyclers and retreaders. Hall of Fame membership may be awarded posthumously."

Candidates’ civic, cultural, educational or charitable endeavors will be considered, but are not a primary consideration as attributes for selection.
“The Tire Industry Hall of Fame is a celebration of amazing and influential men and women in the tire industry,” says TIA CEO Dick Gust.
“This prestigious award honors their achievements, whether that be through hard work, leadership, innovation, service or business acumen. I encourage anyone who knows of worthy candidates to nominate them for the 2023 Tire Industry Hall of Fame.”
The Hall of Fame inductions will take place on Monday Oct. 30, 2023, during TIA’s Tire Industry Honors program prior to the opening of the 2023 Global Tire Expo/SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
