Tire Manufacturer Recap at SEMA
The larger tire manufacturers are usually among SEMA's larger customers in terms of floor space. They have big money to spend and every single car needs tires (not to mention every tuner & racer needs performance tires).
Let's recap the larger, more impressive displays on the floor at SEMA:
Toyo
Toyo was once of the largest sponsors of the show. Not only did they have booth space on the inside floor and outside in front of the convention center but the passageway between the central and South halls was also sponsored as the 'Toyo Tires Treadpass'. Inside the carpeted walkway were some of the nicest cars of the show.
Pirelli
Pirelli is big into the racing scene so their presence is a must. In their kiosk we found two full-on race cars: a Cadillac CT-V coupe and a Lamborghini Gallardo. Other cars included a Ford Focus ST and Jaguar F-Type.
Falken
Falken was placed in a prime location at the entrance of the South hall. Always innovative with their displays, they brought a Porsche 911 race car of their own but not exactly in pristine condition. You'll know why if you look at the photos.
Hankook
Hankook had a very nice display and the most impressive part was that they managed to bring the only 2014 BMW X5 to the show. Not an easy feat since the vehicle was just released.
Continental
Continental had a very impressive 2011 Dodge Challenger "Super Bird" conversion on display among many other vehicles.
