Mike Coffey entered the GT Radial drawing at the K-Earth 101 Bugstock 2012 consumer event in Orange County, CA, because his wife told him to and he wanted a \u201ccool\u201d GT Radial t-shirt. He never imagined he would be the winner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The California man went to his local Allen Tire store (who participated in the event with GT Radial) to pick up his GT Radial Champiro 228 performance touring tires last week where he met with Fred Allen III and Ruben Gallegos from GITI Tire (USA) Ltd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffey chose to put tires on his son\u2019s Toyota Prius because he has been out of work and recently had a baby. He lives in Las Vegas and hasn\u2019t been able to make the trip out to California to visit due to the fact that he was in dire need of tires. Now his son will be able to make the trip for his grandmother\u2019s big 95th birthday party this month!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cListening to his wife was a smart move!\u201d Gallegos said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
