2006 SHOW UPDATE
The PTW/SEMA show was a great success! The Performance Tires
and Wheels section of the show was sold out once again. Thank you to those members who stopped by to visit us at the TIA booth. There was a great amount of traffic in the TIA booth this year resulting in some new members and more training products sold. The “Tires at Two” seminars were well attended as they were last year. The TPMS Manufacturers Forum seminars proved that TPMS training continues to be a hot topic for attendees with standing room only crowds. The Successful Tire Dealers Share their Secrets seminar was also a well attended event with great reviews from the audience.

TIA’s special events were also very well attended, with the first International Reception being so popular that Toyo has already agreed to sponsor next year’s reception.
