New TIA President Looks to Greater Cooperation New TIA President Randy Groh wants to continue building a stronger relationship with the RMA, and has set his sights on two major industry issues as potential building blocks. During TIA’s annual general meeting Monday in Las Vegas, Groh said that TIA will work to put forth a “recommended practice” regarding how tire dealers should handle the “tire aging issue,” and plans to help develop guidelines on the safe sale of used tires.
