PACIFIC GROVE, Calif. (May 24) — The Tire Retread Information Bureau is adding "repair" to its name to reflect the importance of tire repair in the industry, the organization said.
The new name will be the Tire Retread & Repair Information Bureau, but the acronym "TRIB" will continue to be used, the group said in a newsletter to its members. The name will be phased in until materials carrying the old name are used.
Besides the new name, the association will have an updated logo, the newsletter said.
