Dan Nothdurft, co-owner of Tires, Tires, Tires, is the president of the Tire Industry Association trade group.
Last year brought uncertainty. This year brings the same. And hope.
There are many questions and opinions surrounding the market for off-the-road (OTR) tires, as there are in life, as 2021 begins to unfold amid the continuing pandemic.
Times are anything but normal as vaccines begin to roll out around the country, but uncertainty about supply and distribution as well as skepticism by some means this year remains clouded regarding a return to normal life.
At the Tire Industry Association (TIA), the trade group had to cancel its annual OTR Tire Conference, scheduled for February at a resort near Tucson, Ariz., due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19.

ATLANTA TireHub L.L.C recently donated 70 sets of tires to community members near its 70 distribution centers across the U.S. through its Project Joyride program.
Each of TireHub s 70 distribution centers partnered with a retail customer, who then chose a customer in their community to surprise with a new set of free tires during the holiday season.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. It s one thing to know the earthmoving products your company produces do exactly just that: Move earth.
But it adds more perspective when you can confidently quantify what your products in this case, off-the-road (OTR) tires manufactured by Bridgestone Corp. actually do.
According to Rob Seibert, president, OTR, U.S. and Canada, Bridgestone Americas, the company s OTR tires move 1,000 tons of material per second across the globe.
That s a lot of material movement. We take great pride in knowing that, and that s a testament to the strength of our product portfolio, Mr. Seibert said.
And although Mr. Seibert is new to his position he succeeded Bridget Neal as the head of OTR last November he knows the portfolio well. He not only worked in the mining industry prior to the tire industry, he also has served in roles of increasing responsibility in the OTR business unit since joining the tire maker in 2015.
