What's Going on in the World of OTR Tires, Spring 2015:
Conference panel at 60th Annual OTR Tire Conference
- "60th Annual OTR Tire Conference: Celebrating the Past, Looking Forward." At this recent event in Tuscon, AZ, industry leaders were able both to hear and to give presentations, take part in panel discussions, network, and engage in leisure activities. The conference centered not only on recent developments but also on hopes for the future of OTR tires. The next conference will be held held Feb. 17-20, 2016, at the Omni La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, Calif.
- "Double Coin, CMA Find Anti-Dumping Determination 'Grossly Wrong.'" According to Tire Review, both Double Coin and CMA are protesting the government's newly-imposed anti-dumping rate of 105.31%, claiming that the rate is unjust. Further sources reveal that CMA has vowed to appeal the ruling.
- "Michelin Q1 Sales Up 5.6%," although a closer reading of the report uncovers that "Sales volume in the specialty businesses unit — earthmover, agricultural, two-wheeler and aviation tires — was off 4 percent despite some gains in the OE and infrastructure OTR segments and sales improvements in the two-wheel sector." The arguments become even more nuanced after that, but we're happy to see Michelin showing a net gain at the end of the day.
In fact, we're happy to share all of these reports from the world of OTR tires, since their existence is evidence of a thriving, developing industry intent on moving forward. If you have any exciting OTR news to share, please do so in the comments section.
