TUESDAY, NOV. 5Automotive at 10: Wheel Retention and RIST10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. • S115-116

Presenters: Joesph Chizmar, Account Manager, Haltec Corp.; Don Tinker, North American Business Development, AME International; Joseph Heath, Technical Manager, Tire Industry Association

Moderator: Matthew White, Director of Tire Service, Tire Industry Association

Are you aware that torque alone does not ensure the wheel assem-bly will stay on the vehicle? Are you and your technicians doing everything in your power to keep these assemblies on the vehicle? It’s no secret that when the wheels come off during operation it can be costly on multiple levels. There are a number of different methods for installing passenger and light truck tire assemblies and surprisingly, a torque wrench does not guarantee anything. The key to success is achieving the proper clamping force and torque is only part of the equation. This session will focus on the step-by-step procedures for securing tire and wheel assemblies to the vehicle, while addressing the different tools that are used to deliver the proper torque.

Truck Tires at 10: Truck Tire Changing Machines10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. • S106-107

Presenter: Kevin Rohlwing, Senior Vice President of Training, Tire Industry Association

With the days of “tire busters” fading into the past, commercial tire dealers are looking for more ways to improve the level of service as well as workplace safety. As a result, heavy-duty tire changing machines are becoming more popular for a number of different reasons. While they make the job easier and more efficient, the power of a modern truck tire changing machine can cause major damage to tires and rims if the proper procedures are not followed. This session will explore the pros and cons of a heavy-truck tire changing machine and provide helpful tips so technicians can ensure that fleets get the full benefit of eliminating the use of hand tools when demounting and mounting truck tires.

Hybrid & Electric Vehicles: Driving Us Back to the Future11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. • S106-107

Presenter: Dave Crawford, President and COO, The Hybrid Shop

Moderator: Shawn Pease, Director of Automotive Tire Service, Tire Industry Association

Maintaining the TPMS on 2008 and later domestic and foreign vehicles has become another profit center for the automotive repair industry. Because of the ever-growing need to increase speed, flexibility and value when faced with the need to replace the TPMS sensors, aftermarket programmable products are becoming part of the everyday tire service routine. In this session, TIA and industry partners will share their knowledge and experience on TPMS programmable sensors. The goal is to take away the fear associated with the unknowns of sensor programming and replace it with the practical skills needed to be successful.

Truck Tires at 10: Truck Tire and Wheel Assembly Balance10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. • S106-107

Presenter: Kevin Rohlwing, Senior Vice President of Training, Tire Industry Association

Driver expectations for ride disturbances have drastically changed with improvements like air ride suspension and automatic transmissions. When vibrations are present, truck tire service providers need to have solutions. There are a number of different methods for balancing truck tire and wheel assemblies, each with their own benefits. This session will outline the steps technicians can take during the mounting and inflation process to improve balance in addition to the different methods for external balance. If you want your fleet customers to get the best ride after purchasing new tires or retreads, then don’t miss this chance to learn how you can install balanced assemblies.
