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.

Question: Since gas prices are on the rise, is it smart to use gas cards and what are some ways to save money on gas?
Answer: As we all know, gas prices have risen to an average of $3 per gallon in the United States. Since the gas prices are high again, this means that gas-rebate credit cards will be targeting consumers more than ever. There are some perks and advantages to using gas cards but there are also many disadvantages if you do not take care of your credit.
Advantages
Gas rebate cards offered by financial institutions and oil companies typically offer 5 to 10 cents back for every gallon of gas purchased. Some cards may also provide credit points to be used to buy other products. This can definitely save you money if you pay the entire balance off the gas card every month.

Making better use of your resource box
What is a resource box ?
A resource box is what you usually find at the end of an article. They will contain the name of the author, a brief description of the author, a brief description of the sponsoring site and a link. If a reader likes what they read, they would have the tendency to find out where the article came from to read more. The resource bow will be their link to the source of the article and this will entice them to go to the site and do some more reading or research for the subject or topic they are interested in.
Through the recent years many people have learned the secrets of Search Engine Optimization. More and more sites have seen the effects articles have done for the traffic of their sites.
Some have even created sites devoted entirely to providing articles that could be read by their website visitors and have links that could lead to many sites that are related to the topics and subjects of the articles.
