they also have tread designs that are better at tracking through snow and slush, but its the supple rubber that doesn't get rigid like the summer tires rubber compound when cold

have an older vehicle that doesn't have the computer telling you the tire pressures, and want to know fast and easy if the tires are still correctly aired up?



TPMS sensors are pricey. A couple hundred each last time I saw one sold. And without a cars computer to interact with the sensor, the next best thing are these! Cool idea!

The Mickey Thompson tire booth had a big variety to display, and Kenny Youngblood doing art too!


 You get to choose which car you like from the above, and Kenny colors it up the way you prefer, and then adds your name to it. A donation is a nice thing though... just saying. Artists starve for their art too often

good use of old tires, cut them up and use them to hold your pens!


clever use of your company waste by products as SEMA schwag

beverage coasters made of recycled tires. That is brilliant
