A New Jersey tire dealer and retreader is suing Michelin North America and another area dealer, alleg-ing corruption and collusion on tire pricing that favored the second dealer.

Elizabeth, N.J.-based Inter City Tire & Auto CenterInc. and its retread arm filed suit in the U.S. DistrictCourt for New Jersey against both MNA and Service TireTruck Centers Inc. Inter City Tire has multiple locationsand truck centers in New Jersey and New York.

According to a news release by Inter City Tire and itsattorney, the “lawsuit alleges Inter City uncovered an il-licit corruption scheme involving Michelin sales execu-tives, who, in collusion with STTC and others, used shellcorporations to divert deeply discounted tires, intended for large fleet customers, and resell the tires in di-rect competition with Inter City. The Michelin sales executives allegedly lined their pockets with profitsfrom the scheme, while they were on Michelin’s payroll and responsible for supporting Inter City.”

In news that sent waves through the global tire industry, India’s ECONOMIC TIMES todayreported that Apollo Tyre “is in the process of acquiring” Cooper Tire & Rubber Co.

The newspaper said that “sources with direct knowledge” stated that Apollo is working to acquire “a con-trolling stake in Cooper” in a deal that “could be in the range of $600 million to $800 million.”

If such a deal came to pass, it would create a company with an estimated $6.1 billion in global sales – mak-ing it the world’s seventh largest tire company – with three major tire brands and a footprint that touches theU.S., Europe, South Africa, India and China.

JULY 15, 2013

Michelin North America announced a voluntary safety recall of roughly100,000 tires in order to retrieve an estimated 2,500 tires that could havepartial or full sidewall perforations that could lead to the loss of air pres-sure.

The recalled tires, usually found on light trucks or SUVs, includeMichelin LTX M/S2, Michelin X Radial LT2 and Michelin Latitude Tourtires sold primarily in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Michelin said it has identified and fixed the issue that prompted the re-call, adding that so far, no deaths, injuries or accidents have been re-ported in connection with these recalled tires. The tiremaker added itwill replace the tires at no charge.

8.Dealer Warns of Major Buying Scam

Respected Boston-area tire dealer Barry Stein-berg warns his fellow dealers about a new tire-buy-ing scam.

According to Steinberg, founder and owner of Di-rect Tire, there is a company going by the name“Canstruct Inc.” carrying a Champlain, N.Y., ad-dress.

“They look great on Dunn & Bradstreet and theirwebsite, but I discovered that they do not actuallyexist,” he said. “It’s a very sophisticated scam.They order tires, send a trucking company to pickthem up, and then they are gone.”

Steinberg said the FBI in Buffalo is working on the scam, which has impacted“hundreds of companies, not just tire dealers.”

SEPTEMBER 25, 2012

Perhaps ending all speculation on the future of the Obama Administra-tion’s tariff on imported China-made consumer tires, the USW said yesterdaythat the added tariff was no longer needed.

It was the USW that pressed the Administration for the Section 421 tariff –a three-year tiered additional tariff that kicked in on Sept. 26, 2009 – suppos-edly to protect American tire worker jobs and even add production here.

Experts will argue that the tariff – which started at 35% in 2009 andtrended down to 30% in 2010 and 25% over the last 12 months – had any im-pact on U.S. tireworker employment levels. The tariff is scheduled to expireas of midnight on Sept. 27.

The USW proclamation – presented under the headline “USW Acclaim Success of Trade Relief for Tire Sector;Extension Not Requested” – came a week after the Obama Administration threw the USW, the Teamsters andthe United Auto Workers a bone by pressing for a World Trade Organization investigation of China’s auto andauto part exports.

JUNE 19, 2013

In June, Kumho TireCo. announced a globalfirst – it will place radio-frequency identification(RFID) tags on all tireproducts it manufac-tures.

Kumho’s RFID pro-gram is being rolled outas part of the “u-IT New Technology Verification Proj-ect” supported by South Korea’s National IT IndustryPromotion Agency. A key aim of fitting RFID tags isto increase workflow efficiency.

With the expansion of its RFID-embedded tires toall product lines, Kumho expects to cut KRW10.4 bil-lion in annual logistics, production and quality controlcosts.

The patch-type tag is implanted inside the tire’s in-nerliner during the manufacturing process. EachRDIF tag-fitted tire is given a unique identity, whichcan be tracked by a database system at Kumho’sheadquarters. The tag contains information on qualityand performance and detailed records relating to theproduction process, distribution and sales.

From 2014 forward, all manufacturing sites in SouthKorea and overseas will adopt the RFID system.

Titan’s Taylorat it Again -Remarks onFrench LaborCause Stir

FEBRUARY 20, 2013

Titan Internationalchairman and CEOMorry Taylor has writ-ten a letter to France’sindustry minister Ar-naud Montebourg,mocking the latter’s re-quest for Titan and Tay-lor to reconsider buying

the agricultural business at Goodyear’s AmiensNord plant.

Taylor took the opportunity to express hisfeelings toward the Amiens plant workforce.The letter, dated Feb. 8, describes Taylor’s ex-perience of visiting the Amiens site and observ-ing the plant workers in action.

An excerpt from the letter:“Titan is going to buy a Chinese tire com-

pany or an Indian one, pay less than one Europer hour and ship all the tires France needs.You can keep the so-called workers. Titan hasno interest in the Amien North factory.”

In response – in a letter obtained by Frenchjournal LES ECHOS – Secretary for IndustrialProductivity Reform Arnaud Montebourgblasts Taylor’s note as “extremist,” “ignorant”and insulting.

Sidney Richardson – or “Legend,” if one goes by the name badge on his cov-eralls – recently celebrated his 70th year of working at Goodyear’s Gadsden,Ala., tire plant.

Richardson is the longest-serving Goodyear employee worldwide, accordingto al.com, which added that for a little perspective, the next longest servingemployee at the Gadsden plant has been there 50 years. Approximately 9,000employees have been hired at the plant since Richardson.

He began working at the plant in 1943 at the age of 17, making less than 50cents an hour. “That same week, the Allies began bombing Hamburg, theNazis rounded up Jews in Holland, and race riots gripped the city of Detroit.

There were segregated bathrooms at the Gadsden plant, and not yet a union. That was organized later during hisfirst year on the job,” according to an al.com blog written by William Thornton.

timing marks – but all was in order. Tooner stood back and scratched

his chin. “Lemme hear how it soundsone more time.”

Beanie glumly reached in andturned the ignition key. This time, theengine roared to life as if nothing hadbeen amiss. Tooner’s eyebrows shotup. “Well, I’ll be a …” Before he couldfinish, the car suddenly stalled. Andwhen Beanie cranked the engineagain, the ‘no compression’ sound wasback.

Basil came over for a look. “We hadan old Chevy once, back in my dealer-ship days,” he began. “It was an in-termittent no start caused by ex- cessive oil pressure to the hydrauliclifters. I believe it was due to a seizedoil pressure relief valve.”

Tooner shrugged. “Can’t hurt tocheck.” He installed an oil pressuregauge and cranked the engine. Theneedle pinned at 400 psi, the limit ourgauge would read. “Well, look atthat,” he exclaimed. “I’ll bet themlifters are pumped up solid. They’ll bekeepin’ the valves wide open!”

“Now what?” asked Beanie.

“Start by draining the oil,” advisedBasil.

Our apprentice looked around theshop. “But all the hoists are full. I’llhave to do it on the ground, but noneof our drain pans are low enough.”

“Right,” said Tooner thoughtfully.“You’ll need a real skinny drainbucket for sure.” He eyeballed thegold pan sitting on Beanie’s bench andsmirked. “And I know just the thing.”

At first Beanie was choked with theindignity of it all, but that all changeda few minutes later as he came run-ning to show us what he’d found.

“Gold! I’ve found gold!” Sureenough, as he swished around whatlooked like very new oil in his pan, wecould see hundreds of tiny gold flakesfloating in the mixture.

Basil chuckled. “That’s not gold,Beanie; those are metal shavingsfrom damaged engine bearings. Myguess is that those metal filings areplaying havoc with the oil pump pres-sure relief valve. This Contour has se-rious issues.”

After phoning the owner, we discov-ered that the car had been run out of

oil the week before, an important de-tail he’d neglected to tell us.

A week later, and Tooner was stillgiving Beanie the gears about his newhobby.

“Bean, you’ve been through everypuddle and drainage ditch in this en-tire area and you’ve come up empty.Let’s face it; ya ain’t never gonna findany gold with that tin plate.”

“I wouldn’t be so sure,” I said inBeanie’s defense. “It all depends onhow you look at it.” I held up the in-voice in my hand – it was for the Con-tour, and it now included a brand newengine. “I’d say this job ‘panned out’pretty good.” ■

Sometimes junior techs are likeclean shop rags – they’re neveraround when you need one. It

was my third circuit around the shopand still no sign of Beanie.

“Basil! Have you seen the Bean?”Basil adjusted his reading glasses

as he nodded towards the side door.“You’ll find the lad out there, seekinghis fortune amidst the unrelenting hy-draulic flows of our industrializedworld.”

I skidded to a halt. “What?”Basil smiled. “He’s panning for

gold in the drainage ditch.”Sure enough, I found Beanie

beside the main road with ashallow metal pan in hishands. He had an old prospec-tor’s hat on his head and hiseyes were glued to the bottom ofthe pan. He didn’t hear me walkup.

“BEANIE! What’s going on here?”I demanded. “I’ve got customers wait-ing for their vehicles and you’re play-ing in the mud!”

He jumped in surprise. “Gosh, iscoffee break over? I…I guess I losttrack of time…”

Once again, Beanie had a newhobby. It began last week when heshowed us his mail order gold pan,complete with a red bandanna andbattered hat. “You pan the insidecurve of the stream looking for color –uh, that means placer gold,” he toldus. “And when you find it, you followthe stream to its source.” His eyeswidened. “You never know whenyou’re gonna find the mother lode!”

I wasn’t impressed then, andtoday’s antics weren’t helping. “Save

the hobbies for the weekend.” Idragged him back inside the shop byhis left ear. “Keep your mind on yourwork or I’ll find a better use for thatpan of yours.”

The neglected job was a Ford Con-tour. The ‘check engine’ light was onand the customer was complaining ofintermittent stalling. Beanie did a

quick check with the scanner andfound an EGR code, indicating thatthe differential pressure feedbackEGR sensor (DPFE) had failed.

It was a common Ford issue andafter grabbing a new sensor off theshelf and installing it, Beanie clearedthe code before running into the frontoffice to toss the keys to Quigley. Sec-onds later, he was at his bench, reach-ing for his tin pan. Gold fever had himbad and he was eager to get back tohis ditch.

“Not ‘til you’ve done yer road test,”growled Tooner. “Don’t go gettin’sloppy on me.”

“But there’s gold in them there

ditches!” wailed Beanie. “Just lookwhat I found yesterday.” He showedTooner a jar of sparkling sand.

Tooner snorted. “That ain’t gold;that’s shredded tin foil from a candybar wrapper. Now grab a seat coverand git!”

Fuming with impatience, Beanieleft on what should have been a quickroad test. But it was a long time be-fore he returned. “The lousy thingstalled on the edge of town,” he com-plained as he got out of the car. “And

it took me forever to get it goingagain.”

That was the end of his min-ing efforts for the day. The restof the afternoon was spenttesting fuel and ignition sys-tems on the Ford. But thecar ran perfect. Like an old

prospector and his ‘find’, it re-fused to give up any clues to its

erratic behavior.The next morning I sent Beanie

out to the parking lot on the pretext ofdelivering the Contour back to itsowner. A minute later, a loud distur-bance broke the quiet morning air.Tooner calmly sipped his coffee as helooked out the front window. “Lookslike we need clean-up on parking stallsix,” he commented. “The Bean ishaving a meltdown.”

“It won’t start again!” wailedBeanie as we all gathered round.“And listen to it crank – it sounds realstrange.” Sure enough, the ailing Fordspun over as if it had a broken timingbelt, yet there was still spark at theignition wires. Pushing the car backinto the shop, Tooner and Beanie re-moved the front covers to check the
