National Tire Safety Week June 2-8, 2013
May 22, 2013
Carlisle is pleased to support National Tire Safety Week, June 2-8, 2013. National Tire Safety Week is a nationwide event sponsored to raise awareness about tire safety. It’s an initiative of the RMA’s "Be Tire Smart – Play Your PART" program, a year-round effort designed to help drivers learn the simple steps they can take to ensure that their tires are in good working condition.
Tire manufacturers and retailers nationwide will work to educate motorists about proper tire care and maintenance. The Rubber Manufacturers Association provides tire retailers, auto dealers and automotive repair shops with “Be Tire Smart” brochures and other materials to promote and educate for this important safety initiative. Many participating retail outlets use the opportunity to promote tire care through advertising, promotions, free tire pressure checks and community and media outreach.
More than 20,000 tire dealers, auto dealers and automotive repair shops participated during the 2012 National Tire Safety Week. The annual event is an industry-wide opportunity to talk about basic tire maintenance practices that promote safety, tire longevity and fuel economy.
Tire and auto retailers interested in obtaining materials for National Tire Safety Week can order them online at www.betiresmart.org. Those who have participated in the event before can expect to receive materials again this year.
