WASHINGTON (June 22)—The Rubber Manufacturers Association is co-hosting three free tire care events with New England tire dealerships this week.
The tour stops include Town Fair Tire, Hartford, Conn., June 24; Tires and Service, Portland, Maine, June 25; and Sullivan Tire, Fall River, Mass., June 26.
John Paul, "Southern New England's Car Doctor" for the American Automobile Association, will appear in radio public service announcements promoting the event, the RMA said in a release. Surveys show that New England drivers are below the national average in their tire care knowledge, the association added, with only 14 percent knowing how to check their tires' air pressure properly.
