7 BACKGROUND The Consumer Tire Inflation Study sampled consumers in six locations across Canada to determine current knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding their vehicle tire inflation pressure. Vancouver Calgary Winnipeg Toronto Sherbrooke Fredericton 7
8 BACKGROUND Objective The 2009 Tire Study serves to determine the current knowledge levels and motivators of Canadian consumers in regards to tire inflation and tire maintenance. Specifically, this study was implemented to determine if Canadians have improved their tire inflation habits since 2003, when a national under inflation problem was revealed by a similar study. The 2003 study set the benchmark for the level of tire inflation (under/over inflation) across Canada. The current study was designed to replicate its predecessor as closely as possible in order to provide an apples to apples comparison with the results from
9 BACKGROUND Data The results presented represent the complete data set, consisting of 1,811 survey respondents. For some questions, some survey data was omitted, either due to lack of respondent willingness to answer said question, or to ensure quality control in the case of survey inconsistencies. These adjustments were few and minor, and do not affect the statistical relevance of the study. 9
10 BACKGROUND Data The data set is national in scope, representing respondents from Vancouver in the West to Fredericton in the East. Statistically, the total sample is large enough so that the overall results are accurate to within 2.5 percentage points, nineteen times out of twenty. 10
11 METHODOLOGY Overview 300 consumer interviews in each of 6 locations across Canada for a total sample of Vancouver - University of British Columbia Calgary University of Alberta Winnipeg University of Manitoba Toronto University of Toronto Sherbrooke - L'Université de Sherbrooke Fredericton University of New Brunswick Consumer interviews plus field data collection coordinated by AUTO21 Vehicles were sampled based on a segment quota system derived from current vehicle registration data for each location. 11
12 METHODOLOGY Survey Agents Through AUTO21, engineering professors at each location were approached, who in turn, hired engineering students to perform the survey. Preference was given to 4 th year and graduate students. The students and professors were trained by DAC in all areas of the survey process, including a walk-through of the survey and where to find certain information, proper measuring techniques, safety procedures, vehicle criteria, and strategies for approaching drivers and conducting a successful survey. 12
13 METHODOLOGY Vehicle Selection Criteria Private passenger vehicles. Not commercial usage. Under 4536KG (10,000lbs) gross vehicle weight rating (GVRW) Avoided vehicles that had non-original specification, or dual rear wheels and tires. Location-specific vehicle segment criteria. 13
14 METHODOLOGY Survey Process Consumers were approached at self-service filling stations and asked questions about their knowledge and practices regarding the maintenance of their vehicles tire pressure. The interview took minutes. During this interview, tire pressure and tread depth data were collected from the consumer s vehicle as well as the vehicle make, model, VIN number, and GVWR. No consumer names, addresses, or license plate information were collected and all individual data collected during this study will be kept strictly confidential. 14
15 METHODOLOGY Survey Process To help educate consumers on this important topic, participating consumers, and those who declined, were provided with tread depth indicator cards and brochures published by the Rubber Association of Canada and Transport Canada that provide valuable information on proper tire maintenance and road safety. 15
16 METHODOLOGY Key Data Fields Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) Tire Markings (Sizing) Tire Pressure Tire Tread Depth 16
17 METHODOLOGY Tire Pressure Measurement For the purpose of this study, tire pressure was measured in pounds per square inch (PSI) using only the instruments provided. Team members replaced any missing valve caps with stock provided. Consumers were notified of a marked difference in the pressure levels in one or more of their 4 tires. 17
18 METHODOLOGY Tire Pressure Measurement Normally, tires should be measured cold when they have been driven for less than 2 km or have been stationary for at least 3 hours. Due to the logistics of the data collection, it was not possible to guarantee cold tire samples. At the same time, all service station locations were situated in urban areas, predisposing them to a larger cold tire sample The tire measurement procedure was consistent with what was performed in 2003, allowing for comparison between the two studies. 18
19 METHODOLOGY Tire Tread Depth For the purpose of this study, tire tread depth was measured in 32nd of an inch using only the instruments provided. Team members measured the centre of the tire tread for tread depth avoiding contact with tire wear bars. 19
20 METHODOLOGY Public Safety Issues In consideration of consumer safety, team members, to the best of their ability, informed consumers if the following tire/wheel conditions were observed during field data collection: Excessive tire wear An imbedded object or cut in the tire sidewall An imbedded object in the tire tread Separation of tread. Excessive damage to the rim Visible damage to tire valve 20

41 TIRE CARE ATTITUDES & HABITS When asked to rate each factor, most respondents considered all areas very important. From 2003 to 2009, to improve fuel economy increased in importance, ranking fourth in 2003 versus second in Why is maintaining proper tire inflation important to you? Aided (average among those who feel it is important) Overall vehicle safety Improve fuel economy Longer tire life Improve handling Prevent tread separation (out of 5)
42 What would lead you to check your tire pressure? - Unaided TIRE CARE ATTITUDES & HABITS Tires looked low 53% 57% Noticed change in handling/steering 24% 30% Part of regular routine 21% 21% Someone else pointed it out 3% 18% A tire pressure monitoring system 2% 17% Time since last vehicle check/service 8% 6% Change in seasons 3% 6% Nothing/Don't know 6% 5% 2009 Other 4% 8% % 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% Physical cues, such as the tire looking low or changes in handling/steering are the major motivators for getting consumers to check their tire pressure. 42
43 More than a quarter of drivers believe that the appropriate tire pressure is indicated on the tire sidewall. 52% of respondents know the correct location to reference recommended tire pressure (owner s manual or placard), compared to 38% in TIRE CARE ATTITUDES & HABITS How do you normally determine what pressure to set your tires? - Unaided Owner's manual Tire Sidewall Information Another person maintains the vehicle Placard in the vehicle Visually Other Don't know 3% 5% 9% 10% 14% 9% 12% 17% 16% 22% 20% 26% 31% 35% % 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 43

45 Physical cues most often determine when a consumer checks their tire inflation. Temporal and situational factors are also strong drivers, such as when the car is being serviced, when preparing for a long trip, and when seasons change. TIRE CARE ATTITUDES & HABITS When do you normally check your tires for proper inflation? - Aided Whenever they seem low When the car is serviced When preparing for a long trip Each change of seasons Never/Does not normally check 6% 4% 25% 24% 39% 43% 37% 57% 61% 69% Other Don't Know 3% 6% 4% 9% % 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 45
46 TIRE CARE ATTITUDES & HABITS How often do you check your tires for proper inflation? - Unaided In 2009, 30% of respondents indicated that they check their tires for proper inflation at least once a month, the RAC s recommended interval. 60% 50% 40% 30% 30% 39% 49% 46% In 2003, 39% of drivers indicated that they were within this range. 20% 10% 12% 3% 7% 7% 2% 2% 3% 2% 0% Once a month or more frequently Every 2 to 6 months Every 7 to 11 months About yearly Every 2 to 3 years Don't know/not stated 46
47 Considering that 30% of respondents report that they check their tire inflation every month or more often, it is no surprise that many do not believe they should do so more frequently. Regardless, there is opportunity for increased consumer education. TIRE CARE ATTITUDES & HABITS Reasons for not checking inflation more regularly - Unaided Can't be bothered Didn't know I should It's a waste of time/not necessary It doesn't change that much Don't know how Too dirty Too difficult 3% 1% 3% 1% 4% 5% 9% 12% 23% 22% 23% 21% 28% 31% Other Don't know 6% 6% 6% 18% % 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 47
48 More than half of drivers surveyed indicated that a notice on the gas pump would be a good way to inform consumers of the importance of proper tire inflation. TIRE CARE ATTITUDES & HABITS How do you think the industry and/or Government should inform consumers about the importance of maintaining proper tire pressure? - Aided Notice on the gas pump 55% 54% Intuitively, this seems reasonable. There is a higher propensity to check fluids and tire pressure when stopped at a service station, as the required equipment and potential products are readily available. Advertising campaign Public service announcements During traffic reports With tire clinics By mail Other Don't know 30% 30% 27% 23% 24% 14% 17% 13% 3% 9% 2% 4% 47% 50% % 20% 40% 60% 80% 48

TIRE CARE ATTITUDES & HABITS Green Valve Caps on Tire Valve Stems No 77% No 93% Yes 6% Don't know 17% Yes 7% 6% of consumers indicated that they have nitrogen inflated tires. This corresponds with actual readings, indicating that those who have nitrogen in their tires are generally aware of it. 49
50 TIRE CARE ATTITUDES & HABITS In 2007, the U.S. government mandated TPMS to come standard on all new light vehicles. This requirement was phased in, with 70% of the total fleet required to come equipped with TPMS in While Transport Canada has yet to adopt such a policy, most technology and features are commonly shared between vehicles within the two markets, thus increasing TPMS proliferation in Canada as well. No 75% Is your vehicle equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System? Yes 14% Don't Know 11% 50
51 Awareness of Location of Tire Placard/Sticker Including those who said that they knew where the Placard was, but could not locate it when asked to, 70% of respondents did not know where to find the Placard for their vehicle, or even that such a thing exists. This represents a significant opportunity for consumer education, especially among women (vs. men), of whom only 17% said they were aware of the Placard s positioning and could locate it. Aware of location 30% Said aware but wrong 11% TIRE CARE ATTITUDES & HABITS Said aware but wrong 6% Not aware of location 55% Not aware of location 59% Aware of location 39% 51
