The Newest Tires for 2020

The Latest Treads and Tire Accessories From the 2019 SEMA Show

Among automotive enthusiasts, few components stir as much discussion and inspire as much brand loyalty as tires. Tires are such a huge and influential segment of the automotive aftermarket—comprising an estimated $2.46 billion in sales last year, according to the latest “SEMA Market Report”—they warrant their very own floor (along with their companion wheels) at the Las Vegas Convention Center for the annual SEMA Show.

One reason why tire sales remain robust could be the fact that the sheer number of tread patterns and available sizes have never been more varied. From sticky-compound off-road treads to ultra-grippy track tires, there’s a tire for just about any road surface, vehicle application, wheel diameter or driving style. What follows here is the roster of tires and tire-related products that were displayed in the New Product Showcase at the 2019 SEMA Show.

Technicians need to learn how to perform only one unique OBD relearn procedure for all vehicles with direct-TPMS systems, instead of hundreds. Sync-ID is non-intrusive and uses OE-compliant standards.
