We’ve all heard the phrase, “Where the rubber meets the road”, when used to describe something critical or important. But have you ever considered just how much truth there is in that statement?
The point where your customers’ vehicles’ “rubber meets the road” is called the tire’s contact patch, and it’s not much bigger than the size of your hand. Yet, those four small contact areas are all that stand between a vehicle out of control or one that remains in control. Every force the vehicle experiences – braking, acceleration, turning, road irregularities and obstacles – tries to break that contact. If that happens, bad things usually result. It is the role of the tires, suspension, and steering systems to always keep that contact patch on the ground.
Offered in partnership with Duralast, we invite you to join Motor Age’s Pete Meier and TST President G. Truglia on April 23, 2022, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern for a FREE and informative webinar on properly inspecting, servicing, and repairing these systems.
Whether you’re an old pro or new to the profession, you’ll only benefit from attending this event. REGISTER TODAY!
