USED TIRES FOR SALE

Used Tires A Booming Business
The sale of Used Tires is a booming business.
The Rubber Manufacturers Association The trade Industry Group for Tire Makers estimates an estimates 30 Million Used Tires are sold to motorists every year.
Safety Research and Strategies Inc,of Massachusetts,a so called "consumer watchdog" is on the attack against the Used Tire Industry.
This Used Tire Dealer owner of Used Tires Inc,and the websites/URL's

www.usedtire.com

www.usedtires.com

www.usedtrucktire.com

www.usedtrucktires.net

Has the following to say about the product we sell!!!!!
SRS is headed by Sean Kane.This Used Tire Dealer had a conversation with Mr Kane two days ago. After Tire Business an Industry Trade Journal had a report on its website,
www.tirebusiness.com

After reading the posting on Mr. Kanes website alluding to the Used Tire industry selling product that may have hidden dangers and is questioning the industries inspection techniques.
First lets get the record clear. No one want to sell anyone Potentially unsafe or potentially dangerous product.The truth about tires is they are a great and durable product sometimes so durable that they may have a second life.Just because a tire was changed does not make it unsafe and a scrap tire.The tire is either good or not to be reused as a "USED TIRE" that will be determined after it is inspected.To discard a "Used Tire before its time is to reverse twenty years of progress the Tire Industry has made in dealing with Scrap tires and their Recycling.The federal government thru the EPA recognizes the sale of Used Tires as the highest form of recycling "REUSE".
In our conversation Mr Kane admitted his group is funded by Trial Attorneys. Mr Kane claims there is a need for better and more rigorous inspections and seems bent on the use of a shearographic machine and insinuates all large used tire resellers should have one.He also is bent on a tire aging law.
During our conversation Mr Kane admitted not all tires are created equal and climate,driving conditions, the driver ,and the actual tire itself the speed rating and rubber composition are all factors in determining the life of a tire.Mr.kane agreed with this tire dealer that a Z rated tire with 4/32" of tread remaining
would last longer than a tire of a lower speed rating with 4/32" remaining.So just raising the minimum tread depth standard would accomplish basically nothing.This used tire dealer has been to Federal Court in Puerto Rico and to the First Circuit Court Of appeals in Boston to defend our constitutional right to sell a legitimate article
of
commerce "UsedTires" 30million consumers can not be wrong!!!!!

Mr Kane alluded to the fact that when this Used Tire Dealer of over twenty years said I,and any company I was ever associated with Have Never Been sued for selling a defective product he allude it was because they could not track the tire from its making thru its ultimate sale as a Used Tire. Well Mr Kane I to have Plaintiff lawyers some
of the Best here in Broward County Florida www.koppellaw.net
and you and I know the tire can be tracked.How else can you allude you have documented 85 cases here and they sold used.
Mr. Kane all tires in use today on the roads of Ameica are USED TIRES including those you drove to work on today!!!!


Mr Kane as I suggested to you in our conversation ANYONE who Drives on the road today with out question the single most dangerous thing on the road is motorists
TALKING ON CELL PHONES WHILE DRIVING" Please Mr Kane start research on the Makers of cell Phones and the cell Phone companies and see how many people their product has indirectly mamed and injured and go bother them!!!!You will be doing all of us a favor saving hundreds of thousand of potential accidents from occurring

BIG TIRE BIGGER LIAR STOP THE USED TIRE BANS FREE TRADE FOR ALL!

FREE TRADE FOR ALL!

STOP THE BANS IMPOSED ON USED TIRES

AT WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE BEHEST OF THE BELOW COMPANIES.


Big Tire Bigger Liars

Goodyear,Bridgestone,Michelin via RMA BS Public
The big three or The THREE SISTERS it APPEARS are once again at their conspiratorial work probably violating all kinds of federal laws in the name of trying to eliminate their competition "sellers of used tires"' which in many cases are the same tire dealers they sell!!
Some of us in the tire industry have not forgotten the shennanigans of the nineties when oddly countries such as Argentina,Brazil,Chile and Venezuela (preChavez), all of a sudden had placed BANS on the IMPORT of USED TIRES coincidence that the Three Sisters have factories in each of these countries we think not. Funny thing is the Ban in Brazil was reversed by the World Trade Organization maybe we should proceed with a Sec.301 for Argentina and Chile???? We in fact believe it appears from the facts there is a concerted effort to Ban used Tires being perpetrated by the tire manufacturers by any and all means .
The BIG LIE comes in the form of a RMA service bulletin which is ridiculous!!!
Hey Goodyear, Hey Bridgestone, Hey Michelin
How do you retread tires???"
THE TIRE INDUSTRIES DIRTY LITTLE SECRET IS NOT THE SALE OF USED TIRES..
THE TIRE INDUSTRIES DIRTY LITTLE SECRET IS THE BIG THREE SELL RETREADS AND RETREADS NEED A USED TIRE IN ORDER TO BE MANUFACTURED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A casing is a USED TIRE...That is right a casing which is the raw material the basic carcass that is A USED TIRE. Please Federal Trade Commission
Please Dept of Justice Antitrust divisions investigate this concerted effort via The Rubber Manufacturers Association by its members the Three sisters who do not wish to compete fairly!!!!!!!!
Goodyear already has plead guilty of violating the Foreign Corrupt practices act when they illegally sold tires to IRAQ during a time period when it was prohibited!!It is time the federal Government investigate the concerted efforts being made by Tire manufacturers who at best speak out of both sides of their mouths..Modern tire dealer reports these three companies control Bridgestone 44% Goodyear 27.5% and Michelin 21% of the domestic retread ruck tire market>>>>>>>
HOW CAN THEY RETREAD A TIRE WITH THE SAME RESTRICTIONS APPLIED TO A CASING WHICH IS A USED TIRE
TRUTH BE TOLD THEIR PRODUCT MADE NEW IS SO GOOD IT CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE LIFE BE IT AS A USED TIRE OR A RETREADED USED TIRE........
MAYBE THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD INVESTIGATE THROUGH THE FTC THE MILEAGE WARRANTY CLAIMS REPRESENTED BY MANUFACTURERS AND THEIR AUTHORIZED DEALERS??????
What is with free trade with NAFTA used tires are not freely traded into Mexico??
WHY because of the above.....Why are USED Tires not allowed in Columbia???? Why does free trade not apply to used tires because the above companies appear to do whatever it takes in foreign countries most of which is probably not Kosher to BAN the import of Used Tires...

WEAK DOLLAR HURTS USED TIRES SALES

Saturday, July 05, 2008
WEAK DOLLAR HURTS USED TIRES SALES
THE WEAK US DOLLAR HAS HAD A DEVASTATING EFFECT ON THE EXPORT FROM EUROPE MOSTLY GERMANY ON USED TIRES.THE GERMAN TIRE RECYCLERS HAVE MANY CLIENT IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE WHO MAINTAIN THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS IN US DOLLARS INCLUDING THIS USED TIRE EXPORTER/IMPORTER.WHEN I STARTED IMPORTING FOR REEXPORT IN 1992 THE DOLLAR WAS STRONG TODAY IT IS WEAK AND GETTING WEAKER.THIS GOVERNMENT THIS ADMINISTRATION MUST DO EVERY THING IT CAN TO HAVE THE DOLLAR RALLY.
OVER THIRTY MILLION DOMESTIC USED TIRES ARE GENERATED AND SOLD IN THE US OR EXPORTED ANOTHER TEN MILLION USEDTIRES ARE IMPORTED FOR USE OR REEXPORT.USED TIRE DEALERS USED TIRE EXPORTERS URGE THIS ADMINISTRATION TO HELP STABILIZE THE DOLLAR AND OUR ECONOMY.

SIX MIILLION DEFECTIVE CHINESE TIRE VALVESTEMS RECALLED

Friday, June 14, 2008
6 Million Chinese Tire Valve Stems Recalled
Here we go again another defective Chinese tire related product. The only thing that comes to this tire dealers mind is we in the industry all must insist and demand the Chinese factories start taking responsability for their defective product and NOW!
Six million tire valve stems recalled; some safety advocates says problem is much wider and deeper.
Tech International Inc., a Johnstown, Ohio-based importer of tire valve stems,and distributor of tires patches and other tire repair materials is voluntarily recalling 6 million TR413 valve stems made by Chinese company Shanghai Baolong Industries Co. Ltd. between July and November 2006.

How old is too old for your tire ?

Tire Ageing How old is too old???

Last week 20-20 Abc did a story about the age of tires.
How old it too old.What exactly are consumers being sold as NEW how old are they actually. Not realizing all the data is not in on Tire Ageing.many ,many factors such as where it was made how it was made ,how it was stored where it was stored.
Probably would have been a good idea to consult with some tire industry experts as well like ,engineers,technical experts at the manufacturing level and tire dealers and recycler who see the tires in use and when they come out of service...........
Not creating a panic in the motoring publics mind that somehow now after a hundred something years this Amazing product that is sold New,Used and Retreaded which are made with casings that are used tires somehow have an expiration date like milk..
Then the question of tires in USE on the roadways what to do about them as well without excaerbating the tire recycling progress the industry has made in the last twenty years.
This is a question that has been raised by Sen De Wine from Ohio and is being pursued by Ralph Nader wanna be Sean for the safety research institute.Institute my ass.
Just another so called do gooder Would do a lot better not attacking an industry and trying to improve it with the help of the insiders.
No One wants to sell a dangerous product.The tire industry should come up with a standard.
Tires are an excellent tribute to engineering they not only have one life ,but many times have two or more.As a Used Tire or as A casing for retreading
REUSE IS RECYLING!


TIRE FACTS WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THOSE LABELS ON YOUR NEW TIRES.

EXACTLY WHAT DO THOSE CODES,TEMPERATURE RATINGS,TRACTION,TREAD DEPTH WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT. MADE SIMPLE FOR THE EDUCATED TIRE CONSUMER .

REMEMBER TIRE SAFETY STARTS WITH YOU PUMP" EM DO NOT THUMP" EM USE AN AIR GUAGE AND CHECK YOUR AIR PRESSURE REGULARLY.ALSO VISUALLY INSPECT THE TREAD AND SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE FOR ANY ABNORMALITIES. KEEPING YOUR TIRES PROPERLY INFLATED AND MAINTAINED
WILL SAVE YOU GAS AND MORE..CHECK YOUR DOOR JAMB FOR MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS AS WELL AS YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL AND The Drivers side door Panel FOR INFLATION INSTRUCTIONS .




Tire Size Markings
The tire size shown below is P185/60R14 82H. The P represents the car type, Passenger. The 185 represents its section width (tire width in mm). The 60 is the tires Aspect Ratio (the ratio of the sidewall height to the tread width). The R represents radial tire construction. The 14 represents the rim/wheel size and 82H represents the load index and speed symbol.

Speed Ratings
Speed ratings are determined by indoor laboratory testing methods which measure high speed tire durability under controlled test conditions. These test procedures do not take into account underinflation, tire damage, vehicle characteristics, or road conditions which can lead to sudden tire failure or loss of vehicle control at much lower speeds than indicated by the tire's speed rating. The validity of using speed rated tires in the U.S. is based on the idea that the tire's top speed capability must at least equal the vehicle's top speed capability, since it cannot be assumed that the driver will always observe the speed limit.

Recently the speed rating is being referred to as the "performance rating" of the tire, since the higher speed rated tires generally offer improved handling and maneuverability compared to lower speed rated tires.

Load Index
Load index indicates the maximum load capacity each tire is designed to support. Like speed ratings, assume near perfect operating conditions to obtain the ratings listed in the table below.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG)
Under UTQG, tires are graded by the manufacturers in three areas; treadwear, traction and temperature resistance.

* Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear 1.5 times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, vehicle condition, road characteristics, and climate.

* Traction
The traction grades from highest to lowest are AA, A, B and C. They represent a tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked "C" may have poor traction performance.

* Temperature
The temperature grades are also A, B and C, representing the tire's resistance to heat generation and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life; excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger tires must meet under Federal safety laws.

Wheel Basics

* Wheel Width
Distance between inside of flanges rounded to nearest 1/2-inch. Ensure that wheel width is proper for tire size you intend to mount on it. All tire sizes have minimum and maximum wheel width limits. Correct wheel width is about 75% of tire cross section width.

* Wheel Diameter
Distance from bead seat to bead seat across diameter of wheel. Must be exactly the same as tire rim diameter. Mounting a tire of one diameter on a wheel of another diameter can result in violent explosion causing serious injury or even death. Always verify diameter stamped on the wheel and match the tire exactly.

* Wheel Offset
Distance between wheel mounting surface where bolted to hub of drum and centerline of rim. Determines vehicle "track" or distance between tires on each axle. Wheels with more negative offset than original wheels move outboard on car. Keep the wheel offsets as close to original as possible to avoid steering difficulties or wheel bearing fatigues. Negative offset on rear increases "track" and may improve stability and handling.

Ply Rating/Load Range
While there is no industry-wide definition of ply rating, truck tires are frequently marked with ply rating and equivalent Load Range. These markings are used to identify the load and inflation limits of that particular tire, when used in a specific type of service.

Tread Lightly Worn Tire most fuel efficient

Tread Lightly Worn Tire most fuel efficient

In a recent LA times article about tire laws and fuel efficiency The LA times discovered tires in use and or Used Tires perform better when it comes to fuel economy and rolling resistance.In the article the La times reports consumers are sometimes not well advised by sellers of tires.It appears there is some disagreement in the tire industry.With manufactures of tires representing one thing and auto manufacturers and retailers representing another to the motoring public., The report states that as tires roll,their shapeconstantly changes and energy that could be used to power th ecar is lost as heat.Many factors,heat,tread pattern,composition of the tire,width and height contribute to that energy loss known as "Rolling Resistance". The times reccomedned the following TIPS
Keep your tires properly inflated(great Advice )
Do not buy rain tires if yoiu live in a dry climat
Do not pimp your ride Bigger rims on average weigh more an dlow profile tires create more friction
Skip th eNitrogen
Do not replace Tires too Early Yep waiting until they reach 3.16 mm A worn tire is the most fuel efficient ...................................

The traction grades from highest to lowest are AA, A, B and C. They represent a tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked "C" may have poor traction performance.

* Temperature
The temperature grades are also A, B and C, representing the tire's resistance to heat generation and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life; excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger tires must meet under Federal safety laws.

Wheel Basics

* Wheel Width
Distance between inside of flanges rounded to nearest 1/2-inch. Ensure that wheel width is proper for tire size you intend to mount on it. All tire sizes have minimum and maximum wheel width limits. Correct wheel width is about 75% of tire cross section width.

* Wheel Diameter
Distance from bead seat to bead seat across diameter of wheel. Must be exactly the same as tire rim diameter. Mounting a tire of one diameter on a wheel of another diameter can result in violent explosion causing serious injury or even death. Always verify diameter stamped on the wheel and match the tire exactly.

* Wheel Offset
Distance between wheel mounting surface where bolted to hub of drum and centerline of rim. Determines vehicle "track" or distance between tires on each axle. Wheels with more negative offset than original wheels move outboard on car. Keep the wheel offsets as close to original as possible to avoid steering difficulties or wheel bearing fatigues. Negative offset on rear increases "track" and may improve stability and handling.

Ply Rating/Load Range
While there is no industry-wide definition of ply rating, truck tires are frequently marked with ply rating and equivalent Load Range. These markings are used to identify the load and inflation limits of that particular tire, when used in a specific type of service.

FBI Dept Of Justice Probe Puerto Rican Shippers


Dept Of Justice Probe Puerto Rican Shippers


Civil antitrust lawsuits have been filed in US Distict Federal Court in San Juan.
The lawsuits filed by La Esperanza Bus Lines and Rona Distribtors
Alleging "Price Fixing" and "Collusion" in violation of Antitrust Laws.
Crowley ,Horizon Lines, Trailerbridge and Sea Star are all apparently the targets of an FBI/Justice Department probe into Price fixing amongst Puerto Rican shipping lines.
This Used Tire exporter has a twenty year relation with Crowley.
My calls to Crowley and my contacts their have gone unanswered.
I have asked our attorneys to seek whatever remedy we are entitled to ,as it appears we are victims of PRICE FIXING in what was already a close knit tightly held cirle of shippers whose actions are long overdue for a federal investigation.
The charges and surcharges normally in the shipping business are ridiculous only car dealers and cellular telephone companies have as many phony charges on an invoice.
In this tough economy the last thing any business needs is their own suppliers /shippers working against them and being GREEDY and doing STUPID Allegedely Illegal things.





Below in an excerpt from Crowley's Website
pressroom NO mention of the Federal Investigation.
No mention of how they apparently have been conspiring to fix prices and cheat their own customers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Record Fuel Prices Place Stress on Ocean Shipping

The following was released by the World Shipping Council on May 2, 2008.


Shipping lines worldwide are struggling as crude oil prices topped an unprecedented US$119 per barrel this week, in turn pushing marine bunker fuel prices up past $552 per ton � a $26 per ton increase since the end of March alone. Bunker

prices have risen 87% since the beginning of 2007.


Fuel costs represent as much as 50-60% of total ship

operating costs, depending on the type of ship and service.


Ocean carriers are required to recover these costs to maintain levels of service, meaning the price of shipping goods will continue to face upward pressures.


To illustrate the effect of the rising fuel costs, consider the following example of a large modern container vessel used in the Trans-Pacific trade with an actual, maximum container capacity of 7,750 TEUs (twenty foot equivalents) or 3,875 FEUs (forty foot equivalents).[This size vessel is used only as an example. Fuel efficiency varies by vessel size and other factors] With the cost of bunker fuel at $552 per ton, with fuel consumption at 217 tons per day, and a 14 day voyage, a single round trip voyage for this one vessel would produce a fuel bill of $3,353,952. This number could be greater for a number of reasons, such as if the voyage were more than 14 days, or if the vessel were smaller and less fuel efficient per container, or if schedule delays required the vessel to speed up to stay on schedule.


Recovery of fuel cost from cargo customers is a challenge when one considers that vessel capacity utilization is not 100%, that trades are not evenly balanced (e.g., U.S. Trans-Pacific exports may utilize only half of a vessel�s capacity), that different trades and commodities can handle different levels of rates, and that fuel prices continue to rise. If a cargo shipper pays less than its share of the fuel cost, it can only mean that other shippers must pay more, and/or the carrier fails to recover its operating cost, which is not a sustainable business scenario.


Fuel cost recovery cannot be done on a per-vessel/per-sailing basis. A carrier has strings of vessels operating in scheduled service and must recover its

total costs. Thus, the above example scenario, if extended to a single weekly Trans-Pacific service using five vessels, would create an annual fuel bill to the carrier of $220 million.[(5 ships) x (217 tons/day) x ($552/ton) x (365 days per year) = $218,605,800]


Approximately 1,500 ocean-going liner vessels, mostly containerships, make more than 26,000 U.S. port calls each year, providing American importers and exporters with efficient transportation services to and from roughly 175 countries.


Today, U.S. commerce is served by more than 125 weekly container services.


The annual fuel cost for the services is tens of billions of dollars and continues to rise substantially.


How carriers seek to obtain recovery of these rapidly rising fuel costs in the current market is a matter for commercial negotiations, but the significance and the magnitude and the consequences of the challenge continue to grow.


Operational Changes
Carriers have been responding to the high cost of fuel by utilizing a range of operational adjustments. Beginning in early 2007, most container lines began restructuring their operations to address fuel price trends. They have:

� redeployed ships among global trade lanes to optimize utilization

� consolidated services through multi-carrier alliances

� consolidated routes to serve more locations with fewer ships

� slowed sailing speeds to conserve fuel where possible within schedule

� improved monitoring of hull and propeller conditions to reduce resistance and improve efficiency

� adopted container transloading, street turns and other strategies to cut inland fuel costs


Considering that these steps have generally already been taken by shipping lines, there are limited additional operational measures that vessels can take to further reduce fuel consumption.


Environmental Measures to Add to Cost Increases

Environmental initiatives to address vessel air emissions will add to these growing costs. The World Shipping Council has fully supported the efforts of the U.S. and other governments to establish new environmental standards for vessel air emissions, and supports the new standards that the International Maritime Organization has recently agreed to for new engine standards and new fuel standards. However, the cost of low sulfur fuels to be used in Emission Control Areas will be roughly double the cost of bunker fuel, thus creating even more upward operating cost pressures going forward.


While the liner shipping industry fully understand its responsibility to implement and adhere to these new environmental standards, it is essential that the environmental community and regulators also understand that fuel prices are already causing ships to minimize fuel consumption and minimize emissions. Ships cannot afford to waste fuel and do not emit more CO2 than is necessary for the conduct of commerce. Further taxes or charges on fuel consumption will not cause fewer green house gas emissions; it would only raise costs, and further add to inflation.


It is also important to recognize that ocean shipping is the most energy efficient form on freight transportation. For example, recent estimates show that moving goods by ocean container can be 17 times more fuel efficient than transporting the same goods by air and 10 times more efficient than transporting the goods by road. Environmentally, greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by shipping goods by sea.


Conclusion

Every sector of the economy is being affected by rising fuel costs.

The transportation industry is being particularly hard hit.


While ocean carriers may provide the most fuel efficient form of transportation, they face an unavoidable imperative of recovering these rising costs if current service levels are to be maintained.

Conclusion must have been drawn by the executives at Crowley that Price fixing is a better solution just rob from your own customers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
