Melting Snow Helps Launch Local Brothers? Dreams
Brooklyn, NY (ContentDesk) March 24, 2004 -? Motivation Design announced the introduction of a new product, the Seasonal Tire Tote. The Seasonal Tire Tote allows vehicle owners to easily transport winter tires, keep clean and organize the garage.It happens twice a year and we all dread it: bringing your tires to the mechanic to put the correct seasonal tires on your vehicle. After years of hauling their parents' tires down from the garage and throwing them in the back of the family wagon, brothers Kitter and Gordon Spater from Chester, Vermont worked toward a solution. They had tried rolling, bracing, reaching, and plastic bagging, yet despite the various approaches, they would always end up with six months of road grime on their hands, pants and inside of the family car.Their final solution, the Seasonal Tire Tote, came after two and a half decades and many tire changes. Seasonal Tire Totes ultimately take the hassle out of changing snow tires.
A heavy-duty nylon shell with an easy-to-carry handle slips over the tires to protect users and their vehicles from tire residue. In their Totes, tires stay neatly covered and stacked until the next season rolls around. The Seasonal Tire Tote fits tire sizes from 22" to 31" in diameter, allowing them to be easily used with most passenger vehicles. The durable construction and rugged materials make it capable of carrying weights of over 80lbs. Ryan Meers, one of the partners and head of engineering, explains that the product is constructed of a 600 denier ballistic and rip-stop PVC coated nylon, so it is extremely durable, water-resistant and machine-washable.
"These are the same materials that are used to make ski clothing and camping equipment, it' is very strong stuff" Meers explained.The suggested retail price for a pair of Seasonal Tire Totes is $19.95 and is being distributed nationwide through approved dealers, distributors, factory representatives and their website: http://www.TireTote.comAbout Motivation Design:Motivation Design is a Brooklyn, NY based Limited Liability Company, focused on the development of products and ideas that enhance interactions and engage motivation.

Winter Car Care
As the weather turns colder, it is time to think about your car for a second. A little preparation can go a long way to making your winter travels a lot safer. Here is a checklist to get you started. 1. Check the antifreeze. The freezing point can be checked with a simple tool available at any auto parts store.
Make sure you check the antifreeze when it's cool. Opening a hot radiator can be a dangerous thing. 2. Check the air pressure in your tires. As the air gets cooler pressure drops in your tires. Maintaining your tire pressures will reward you with higher gas mileage and longer tire life.
3. Make sure you have the following items in your car.
- Ice Scraper
- Salt or sand for traction
- Blanket in case you are stranded and need to keep warm
- Good first aid kit (not just for winter)
- Road flares

Inflatable Boat Trailers
An inflatable boat trailer is needed if the user has a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB), since those boats have only a deflatable collar surrounding a solid hull. RIB's are regular boats in many ways. A true inflatable boat does not need a trailer but in some cases the user may want one.
Larger inflatable boats can take some time to inflate and be assembled completely. If the user has an inflatable boat with an outboard motor, they may prefer to get it ready at home before heading to the launching area. In that case, an inflatable boat trailer may be necessary.
The requirements for an inflatable boat trailer are the same as for a conventional boat except that the user will not need the load capacity necessary for a conventional boat because an Inflatable boat is much lighter.
If the user is looking at used trailers, they must be sure to inspect it carefully for any damage that may already exist, be sure it has functioning brakes in good...
