The General Tire and Rubber Company, founded in 1915, offers a wide range of automotive products from brake systems and chassis to vehicle electronics and tires. It is a massive company with about 150,000 workers and about two hundred facilities in thirty-six countries. Their tires offer a unique technology called a replacement tire monitor. As the driver pushes the tire to the limits, there is no need to worry about safety or tire wear. When the tire reaches the wear-out point, the monitor reads “replace tire.” Along with this safety feature, their tires offer a special design to provide durability and shock-resistance.
