Howdy!

I am a 73 year old veteran of the tire business, having begun at age 11 in the summer of 1942. Learning all about the tire industry, from design to testing, manufacture, and distribution has always been a passion of mine. It has been my good fortune to become acquainted with some of the greats in the industry along the way. The industry turmoil of the last ten or fifteen years has been very intriguing, to say the least.

In the coming days, I want to publish a polemic against low-profiles, a diatribe against large diameters, a lament about low section height, along with wailing about wide tread contact patterns.
