Speakers address implications of TREAD Act

The Clemson University Tire Industry Conference this year could have been retitled the Clemson TREAD Act Conference. There were presentations that analyzed the Transportation Recall Efficiency, Accountability and Documentation Act in its entirety. There were those that considered separate provisions of the act, such as the pending final rule on tire pressure monitoring devices. There were those that addressed subjects completely other than the TREAD Act, such as the pending merger of the Tire Association of North America with the International Tire and Rubber Association.
