From the tire buyer’s perspective

What you can do to sell more tires to broke, busy or beleaguered customers

By: Kymberli Hagelberg

People may be driving around on them longer and longer these days, but at some point, it’s certain that every driver in your city will buy a set of new tires — from someone. The market has become so competitive, however, that need alone does not guarantee customers will show up at your door with their wallets open.

You’ve got competition in strange places. Tires of virtually every brand and technical specification are available beyond your shelves at the local superstore, right along with the tube socks and the rutabagas. Buyers also shop the Web, and often come away with price breaks steeper than you can offer.

The economy isn’t cooperating either. Since the 2007 recession, the United States Department of Commerce says your customers are spending 16% less on auto parts, tires included.

It’s a fairly dismal reality check, but Modern Tire Dealer estimates that this year, Americans will spend somewhere around $20 billion replacing their tires. So market share is there for the taking.

I’ve spent the last week checking out what you’ve got to offer, and I’ve come away with a few observations that may help you make or save the next sale.

Because here’s the thing: Buying tires is nothing like buying tube socks or rutabagas. It’s a considerable expense for a highly technical product. Customers who trust their rush hour battle and children’s welfare to tires will happily pay a little extra for what only you can offer them: the benefit of your expertise and the value of your reputation for trust.

In my opinion, there are plenty of things most of you are doing well — and some things that could use a little tweaking. Good examples will be identified and credited. Horrible examples will remain nameless.

Maybe your customer spends every weekend tracking his or her Toyota Sequoia through the muck and yuck at the nearest trail or camp site. On the other hand, maybe she’s a mild-mannered motorist who chose her Lincoln Navigator because it made her feel safe to drive something taller than the average NBA guard — but it’s the same SUV her son uses to break land speed records and impress his high school friends with hairpin turns.

It’s possible the guy driving the Subaru Outback has a lead foot and a short attention span. What he needs for his daily commute is a set of tires that will stop somewhere short of a four-car pileup.

The point of all this is simple: You really can’t judge an off-roader by her manicure, or the needs of a commuter by his tie.

Karen Miles is co-owner of Barberton Tire and Auto Service Inc., a small independent dealer that caters to local businesses and blue-collar customers hit hard by layoffs and plant closings. Miles and her husband, Butch, took over the business in 2006.

He’s a technician; she is the tire expert and minds the front of the store. When it comes to customers, Karen Miles diagnoses them like the Navy medical corpsman she was for four years.

“Anymore, what rolls in here has been driven right down to the wear indicator,” Miles says. “The first thing I always ask is what brand and what type of mileage they’re looking to get out of the tire. Even if an economy tire is what they are looking for, I try to steer them away from low mileage tires. Most of the time, I can get them a higher rated tire for just a few dollars more.

“If a tire is rated for a specific mileage, I usually explain that those ratings are under perfect driving conditions, tire pressure, alignment, etc., and not to expect that exact amount. In the long run, there are more affordable deals, and it’s my job to find them for you.”

Miles says tire sales represent almost 30% of her business. Her biggest selling brands are Cooper, Uniroyal and BFGoodrich. Turnaround time for installation is typically next day.

The tires she stocks are the result of her own matter-of-fact, marketing research. “I keep track of what brands have resulted in the fewest complaints with the highest of praises,” she says. “That’s what I sell.”

Technical bells and whistles

Asymmetric or directional tread? Winter or all-season? A hard or soft rubber compound?

There’s another catch here. The time when you could just tell a customer what to buy is long gone. They want your recommendations, but they’ll expect you to tell them why they need what you’re selling.

That can be a tall order. Over the last few years, most independent tire dealers see fewer factory reps who visit them less often, and, according to the dealers with whom I talked, they receive fewer point-of-purchase materials from manufacturers. At exactly the same time that your brands are cutting back on marketing support, your customers have become more educated.

None of this matters. You still have to explain the science of tires to prospective buyers who have just enough knowledge to be dangerous.

Some of you are falling down on the job.

Here’s the answer I got three times (from three different dealers) when I asked which asymmetrical tread design would be best for my driver in the Lincoln Navigator and why. (Remember, she’s the woman tenuously driving a sky scraper on wheels, the same vehicle her son likes to hot rod with his friends):

“Most people only know tires are black and round. They buy what we tell them they need.”

It’s hard to know why some of you aren’t bothering to explain why the technology works, even when you’re asked. As a reporter, that’s a missed opportunity — and it gives me a fairly sensational detail to report for my story. As a customer potentially ready to fork over $500 to$1,200 for a new set of tires, it would just annoy me, and I’d move on to the next store.

As you would expect, company-owned tire stores have the most resources. The Goodyear company-owned store inside Summit Mall in Fairlawn, Ohio — a suburb of Akron a short drive from Goodyear’s corporate headquarters — is a good example. Floor-to-ceiling wall displays touted the benefits of the Fortera brand’s triple-tread design and the durability and quiet of Goodyear’s all-season workhorse brand, the Wrangler ST. A kiosk in the middle of the tire center lobby was filled with cards explaining the strengths and benefits of each brand.

Randy Shapiro, 23, has been at the Goodyear store for five years. He was part of the largest staff I encountered: five salespeople and 15 techs. Shapiro and his coworkers attended Goodyear’s four-day boot camp, and their tire knowledge is regularly tested online.

Tire test begins at Daytona's repaved surface

2010-12-15T12:24:00.000-08:00

Daytona International Speedway has a fresh, clean surface, and at least 18 drivers have been taking advantage of a two-day Goodyear tire test at the track held Wednesday and Thursday. This marks the first time race cars will run laps on the repaved surface. (They're farther along than pictured above.)

Drivers scheduled to participate include Chasers Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, Mark Martin and Matt Kenseth, as well as Dale Earnhardt Jr., Mark Martin, Jamie McMurray, Juan Pablo Montoya and many others. In addition to the tires, Busch and Brad Keselowski will be testing Dodge's new front bumper.

The track hadn't been repaved since 1978, and you'll recall the debacle that ensued in 2010 when a pothole cropped up and completely torpedoed the entire race. Nearly three hours' worth of delays set an ugly tone for the 2010 season, and while the racing was just fine the rest of the year, the viewers didn't tune in. Can we blame the pothole for that? Sure we can.

The repaving effort began shortly after the July Daytona race, and came in ahead of schedule. As a result, drivers have a slick new surface that could open up the race and make the 2011 Daytona 500 a landmark event.

"Everybody used to dread Daytona testing," 2009 Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth said recently. "I’m really looking forward to getting on the track and seeing how they did on the paving job and how smooth it is ... That surface was so incredibly worn out before, and now it’s going to be more like a Talladega race. It’s going to be wide open. Handling is going to matter more than [at] Talladega but probably not very much. Everybody is going to be wide open. It is going to be a big draft the whole time."

Goodyear to Sell 2 Farm-Tire Businesses

2010-12-14T08:20:00.000-08:00

Goodyear agrees to sell to Titan its farm-tire businesses in Europe, Latin America

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. has agreed to sell its European and Latin American farm-tire businesses to Titan Tire Corp., a unit of Titan International Inc. of Quincy, Ill.

Goodyear, which had said last year it was looking into such a move, said Monday that the deal and a licensing agreement will be worth about $130 million.

Goodyear sold its North American farm-tire business, including a plant in Freeport, Ill., to Titan in 2005.

Goodyear Chairman and CEO Richard J. Kramer said the sale is in line with the Akron-based company's focus on its core consumer and commercial tire businesses.

China says regrets WTO ruling on US tire tariff

2010-12-14T08:13:00.000-08:00

BEIJING (AP) — China regrets a World Trade Organization ruling that the United States acted within its rights when it raised import taxes on Chinese tires by as much as 35 percent and will file a complaint, an official was quoted as saying Tuesday.

The unidentified Ministry of Commerce official was quoted by the official Xinhua News Agency as saying that China "is deeply concerned" about the impact on China's tire industry, and said China will study the WTO report and file a complaint.

Xinhua said the official was from the ministry's Treaty and Law Department but did not identify him.

The three-year tariff was approved in September 2009 by President Barack Obama. It amounts to a 35 percent additional charge in the first year, 30 percent in the second year and 25 percent in the third year, on top of a regular 4 percent import duty.

Beijing said the tariff was protectionist. It has 60 days to appeal the ruling.

U.S. imports of low-grade Chinese tires rose threefold to about 46 million tires between 2004 and 2008, but fell by about 15 percent in the first half of 2009 — before the new tariff was imposed.

The dispute is the latest in a string of trade battles between the United States and China, the world's biggest importer and exporter, respectively.

The countries have sought WTO panel rulings on issues ranging from steel pipes to music piracy, poultry and auto parts in recent years.

Tips and advice for Alloy Wheel Care

2010-12-14T08:03:00.000-08:00

There are many products on the market that are specifically formulated to the painted alloy, stainless steel wheels are protected. Some of the most widely used products includefollowing.

Chrome Wheel Care Tips

Chrome Wheel Care Tips

While there are specific commercial cleaners available to keep your chrome wheels looking the best they can be — we recommend our L.A. Wheel and Tire Chrome Care Kit (contact us to get one!)– there’s still the challenge of ensuring brake dust is cleaned off before these are applied, because the dust can cause pitting or scratching. Here’s a simple, cheap way to keep your chrome in good shape to ensure the brightest shine and best protection for your chrome before you use your chrome care kit.
What you need:

a. Microfiber towel – which comes in our Chrome Care Kit, by the way.
b. A soft sponge.
c. Dawn dish detergent liquid.
d. Hot water, preferably in a bucket, because holding it in your hands won’t help.
e. Water hose (preferably one that doesn’t shoot at 1200 PSI).

How often:

At least once every two weeks. The longer you wait, the harder it is, and the more likely brake dust could pit or scratch the chrome finish. Always do this before applying the Metal Polish and Metal Protector that comes in the L.A. Wheel and Tire Chrome Care Kit.
Instructions:

1. Use the water hose to spray off the loose dirt and debris from the wheel. Don’t go full blast or use a firehose if you truly value the chrome finish!
2. Take your hot water and put in the bucket. Add 1/2 a cup of the Dawn dish detergent liquid to it for some bubbly cleaning power!
3. Dip your sponge into the water/Dawn mix, and gently clean your wheels. If the brake dust proves to be stubborn like my Mom, just let the cleaning solution sit on it for a few minutes and sponge it off again.
4. Rinse the wheels with the water hose. Remember: don’t use a firehose. You’ll blow your car away. Seriously, though, make sure you rinse from the top down, so dirt and suds wash off of the wheel rather than getting sprayed all up inside and around it.
5. Dry the wheels with a microfiber towel… [shameless plug alert!] just like the one that comes with our Chrome Care Kit! [end shameless plug alert!].
6. Smile and nod as you look at that sexy chrome wheel.

Wheel Care Tips

2010-12-14T07:52:00.000-08:00

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that regular, preventive maintenance is the key to getting the best long-term performance out of your car. Wheel care is no exception. It’s an integral, but often neglected, part of overall vehicle maintenance. Here are some tips you can use to keep your wheels in top condition.

First, it’s important to keep your wheels clean. Use a mild detergent, non-abrasive brush and mild degreaser to keep them free of mud and dust.

In parts of the world where winters are harsh, the salt spread on roads for safety will corrode metal hub caps. Regular cleaning is paramount in these conditions. Wheel care products should be carefully selected and you should never clean wheels when they are hot.

As a general rule:

Chrome wheels should be cleaned with a soft brush and mild detergent, then wiped dry with a non-abrasive towel. Do not let soap, water or other cleaning products remain on wheels after cleaning. They can tarnish the chrome finish. Using wheel wax as a sealant can help reduce the static electricity that attracts dirt and will help the wheels resist brake dust.

Alloy wheels are lighter than regular wheels and therefore popular with racers. Aluminum naturally oxidizes, but with proper care you can minimize damage. Coating these wheels with a hand-applied sealant after cleaning will help preserve the aluminum.

Using quality16″ or 19″ wheel simulators can also help preserve the life of your original wheels. These simulators are made of high-quality stainless steel that will serve as the first line of defense against corrosion and other damage. They can be installed on most trucks, including Chevys, Fords, Dodges, Isuzus and Internationals.

You’ve invested in your wheels now protect your investment!
