Dear SMART Tire Investors & potential investors,
We hope you’re as excited as we are about the remarkable success of The SMART Tire Company's exhibit with Hyundai, Kia, and the Open Innovation Lounge at CES 2025. This year’s showcase not only exceeded our expectations but also opened the door to unprecedented opportunities that could propel our growth in ways we’ve only imagined. The momentum is undeniable — and we want to make sure you don’t miss out on what comes next.

CES 2025: A Game-Changer for SMART Tire
Our booth was one of the highlights at CES's Eureka Park, drawing crowds from all corners of the tech, automotive, venture capital, and sustainability sectors. Global corporations, including industry giants in construction, agriculture, logistics, cutting-edge mobility tech, and conventional tire manufacturers, were buzzing about the potential of our revolutionary airless tire solutions (i.e. Toyota, Ferrari, Bridgestone, Delta Airlines, Goodyear, Ford Motor Company, Specialized Bicycles, Nissan, Honda, Caterpillar, Sumitomo Tire, US Army, Rivian, and many more). Interest was so overwhelming that we’ve had to schedule multiple follow-up meetings with high-profile partners, some of whom are exploring strategic investments in SMART Tire.

But here’s the real story: This is just the beginning.
With a breakthrough year ahead (METL deliveries, more car tire development, more aerospace work, more partnerships, a new lab expansion, key hires, etc.), the window for early-stage investors to maximize their returns is closing fast. As we lock in key partnerships and prepare for rapid scaling, the value of our company is set to soar — and those who act now have the opportunity to position themselves at the forefront of a mobility revolution.
Why NOW is the Time to Invest More
The feedback we received from industry leaders at CES makes it clear that we are not just part of the conversation — we are leading it. More people are starting to hear about us. An airless, more sustainable tire, is becoming more of a priority in EV and autonomous vehicle manufacturing. This kind of visibility is rare, and with multiple major corporations showing an interest in us, SMART Tire’s trajectory could skyrocket.

However, there’s one important thing we must address: As the deals progress, we’re anticipating valuation increases in the very near future. The more our technology gains traction, the harder it will be to get in at the ground level. If you’ve ever thought about increasing your investment, now is the time.
Why You Don’t Want to Miss This Moment
Strategic Partnerships: We are in discussions with a few top-tier corporations to eventually integrate our tire technology with their vehicles. These collaborations could result in huge contracts, increasing both our revenue and market share.
Global Demand: The CES crowd wasn’t just a local affair. We’re fielding inquiries from companies and investors around the world who see the potential for SMART Tire to disrupt multiple industries, from cycling and automotive to trucking and aerospace. We've exhibited at several international events across the globe over the past few years, so the word is starting to spread even more about STC as an innovative technology brand.
Valuation Surge: As we enter these partnerships and continue expanding, our valuation is set to increase again (currently at $60M). Investing now means getting in before the next wave of capital raises and significant growth milestones.
The world is waking up to the possibilities of The SMART Tire Company. As our technology takes the spotlight in automotive and beyond, those who invest now will be positioned to see exponential returns.
We’re moving fast, and the window for this kind of opportunity is shrinking. Don’t let the chance to increase your investment slip away — this is the moment that could define the next chapter of SMART Tire’s success. A lot of us wish we could travel back in time and invest in certain companies, after we witness how big they've become. Like we've said before... do you remember when Goodyear and Michelin were startups? Probably not - it was over 120 years ago (and Bridgestone was founded in 1931)! The SMART Tire Company is just getting started, so get ready for the ride!

As always, we THANK YOU for your continued support. We’re incredibly excited about what’s ahead and hope you’ll continue to join us on this extraordinary journey.
Best regards,
The SMART Team
