Column from tire industry experts

As Canada’s only national tire industry publication, Tire News brings together tire industry experts, inviting them to share their expertise and insights with our professional audience. We rely upon our experts to answer the questions consumers are asking their tire retailers about: Do winter tires make a difference? Do I need light truck tires? Do electric cars need special tires? And much more. Our national audience is interested in a broad range of topics. In Quebec, for example, there are a lot of questions about studded tires and Quebec winter tire dates. Our readers also want to know about tire recycling and how recycled tires are processed. For this audience, reliable tire recycling is a concern, as is the topic of tire stewardship, and many wonder where to recycle tires. Commercial tire recycling can be especially challenging, but here again, our experts can shed light on the matter. Of course, keeping tires out of landfills altogether, while limiting the number of scrap tires, is ideal. That’s why sustainable tires and flat tire repair are topics that are often asked about. It’s better to repair your tires, rather than have to turn them over to a tire recycling program.
