5 Questions With Alex Bebiak, founder of Road Ready Foundation and Safe Trade Alliance: Road Safety Starts With Your Tires

Five questions for Alex Bebiak on road and tire safety, and why so much of it still gets overlooked. The conversation moves across how little tire safety is taught, the gap between a warning light and real risk, reaching younger drivers who live on their phones, the role of tools like the TireBuddy app, and an emerging blind spot around autonomous vehicles and their tires. A wide-ranging take on safety, education, and where the industry should be paying closer attention.
