What caused Dave to have his THIRD tire blowout on the roads?
Tony Gonzalez is the Chairman, Founder, and CEO of Tire Group International (TGI), a global tire distribution and manufacturing company behind Cosmo Tires. His career traces back to a multigenerational tire business rooted in the 1940s, giving him decades of hands-on experience in product development, brand positioning, distribution, and dealer partnerships across the automotive aftermarket.Known for challenging conventional pricing battles, Gonzalez speaks directly about how value tire brands compete, focusing on product confidence, warranties, marketing consistency, and long-term dealer relationships rather than chasing the lowest price.In this episode…Price wars dominate the tire industry conversation, yet constant discounting erodes margins, weakens brand equity, and trains customers to expect cheaper options. Tire dealers face pressure from online competitors, national chains, and aggressive private-label programs that reshape buying behavior.Tony Gonzalez breaks down how value positioning changes the game. Brand trust, warranty support, product innovation, and consistent messaging define how value tire brands compete today. Shops that understand this shift protect profitability, strengthen customer loyalty, and build more resilient multi-location operations.Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: [01:00] Introduction of Tony Gonzalez and his role at Tire Group International[02:37] Family tire business origins and early industry exposure[06:03] Cultural background shaping business mindset and values[10:07] Launch of Tire Group International and development of Cosmo Tires[13:34] How dealers connect with the brand and distribution channels[15:49] Building a value tire brand without competing solely on price[18:03] Warranty strategy and its impact on customer loyalty[20:13] Early warehouse work shaping leadership perspective[24:46] Importance of storytelling, branding, and cultural influence[33:26] Creation of the Kool Kat mascot and brand identity evolutionResources mentioned in this episode:Tony Gonzalez LinkedInTire Group International WebsiteGet in touch with Cosmo TiresTread PartnersGain Traction Podcast on YouTubeGain Traction Podcast WebsiteMike Edge on LinkedInQuotable Moments:“We're a value-driven brand, but we're not in the market of competing solely based on price.”“We give road hazard on all of the products we sell, and we stand behind them immediately.”“The goodwill you get by giving that kind of warranty and guarantee is next to none.”“Know what you're worth and make sure you're not wrong.”“We really take pride in our marketing and how we represent our brand.”Action Steps:Audit tire lines carried in every location and identify where stronger warranty-backed brands improve margins and customer trust.Train service advisors to explain product value clearly; customer confidence rises when the conversation moves beyond price alone.Study how value tire brands compete and apply similar positioning to shop branding, service packages, and customer messaging.Strengthen supplier relationships that provide marketing support, training, and consistent product quality to stabilize long-term growth.Review warranty communication at the counter; transparent guarantees drive repeat business and referral momentum.

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we explore how one of the world's largest tire manufacturers is working to balance profitability with sustainability across a global supply chain. We talk with Antoine Sautenet, Chief Sustainability Officer at France-based Michelin Group, who outlines company strategies that prioritize climate, biodiversity, social equity and circularity alongside profit. "Today it's very difficult to translate the sustainability performance into the price of our product," Antoine tells us. "So one of our challenges is to make that balance between profit and planet in order to be able to promote the right value of our product compared to our competitors." Antoine describes how Michelin is increasing the use of recycled and renewable materials in its tires to reduce the company's reliance on fossil fuels and other resources. And he outlines how the company works with the many smallholder farms that produce rubber for its tires to drive sustainable agriculture practices. This interview is the latest installment in our CSO Insights podcast series, where we interview Chief Sustainability Officers around the world about how they're navigating the changing sustainability landscape.

Let's go race 61 miles of gravel on Saturday and do a 14 mile training run on Sunday! "What's in there?" Luke. "Only what you take with you." Yoda. BikeRadar interview reveals why people go deep doing Ultras. Getting up and ready for the race: Cereal, coffee, and mediation. The art of not getting pissed off when you can't find something. Putting colored zip ties and/or using bright fingernail polish to not lose black stuff. The "Putting stuff in a place it can't stay so you don't forget it" trick. Kai's race strategy vs. mine. Post race: Kai interview about the State Allroad! Tire pressure talk. Race review, tactics, crashes, and such. We did two totally different types of racing. 50mm tires FTW! Fueling, water, and water bottle location. Side mounted bottle cage UNDER the downtube!? Long run after Lit Whizzy part 1: Beating up the legs on purpose to train for the 31 mile Ultra trail run next weekend. Race review doing gravel IRONMAN STYLE! No drafting TT aerobars. I recorded a video for youtube. Out soon. Bidirectional bezels way better for fueling NEW REAR RADAR FROM GARMIN and should you use in racing? Slap bracelet for mileage marks for aid stations and wrong turns? Riding speed going with front packs vs. letting them go and doing solo TT. Sideload cage under frame worked for Kai! Interesting... hmm... River tries to catch an Armadillo. How to wear two jerseys to stay warm at race starts and stay cool later when it warms up. Gummy worms worked! Here's how... Slamming legs on downhills to prep for upcoming race abuse. Longrun part 2: Sour gummy worms FTW! Legs feel good, because of way I raced. The Curse of Triathlon. But also why triathlon training is the ultimate in injury prevention and longevity. The Dark Arts of Sports - Ultra Endurance. Jedi inspiration. Be quietly awesome. Hill work! 13.5 miles done. How I did it. Surprised how great I feel. -------- - - - - - - - - - Shaved legs for race. Are clippers faster aero than razor. No rear radar to drop weight. But I think maybe gravel racing with it on is smarter. Moved tire repair stuff around for faster access. Forgot my headphones for swimming! TURN AROUND! lol. Trick for not forgetting things - Go the wrong way when you leave and then swing back by. Using ChatGPT in my watch to ask wind direction and speed.

You know what's so stinking wild? You're out here with experience, client results, and case studies that would make other people jealous, and you're still attracting clients who need handholding, who question your price, and who ghost you after discovery calls.I hate to break it to you, but it's not them. It's your messaging.You're speaking to beginner-level problems when there's a whole world of champagne problems out there waiting for someone like you to solve them. And today, we're gonna fix it.If you're a service provider (VA, OBM, ads manager, copywriter, funnel builder) who's tired of attracting clients with beginner budgets and beginner problems, this is for you. I'm gonna show you exactly how to shift your messaging to attract premium clients who respect your expertise, make decisions quickly, and pay well.Beginner Problems vs. Champagne Problems: The distinction between survival-stage clients (uncertain, low budget, testing) and success-stage clients (established, scaling, delegating). Champagne problems are problems of growth, not getting started.Why Your Messaging Attracts the Wrong Clients: Service providers default to beginner messaging because it feels safer, more familiar, and less vulnerable—often driven by imposter syndrome or playing small.How Messaging Signals Client Level (and Budget): Language that focuses on “getting started,” affordability, or learning attracts beginners, while messaging that assumes success attracts premium clients who value expertise and delegation.The Tactical Messaging Shift to Attract Premium Clients: Auditing current messaging, reframing problems to assume success, and using language centered on delegation, ownership, scaling, and premium solutions.What Changes When You Speak to Champagne Clients: Higher-quality inquiries, shorter sales cycles, easier pricing conversations, faster decisions, and doing higher-level work instead of beginner hand-holding.Find the full post at: https://brandimowles.com/272Want More Like This? ⬇️
