The efficacy of a tire sanitizer system in reducing bacterial counts on tires in winter was tested, but could not be adequately evaluated due to minimal bacterial contamination of tires. The number of bacteria contaminating tires under different seasonal conditions was also compared. Bacterial contamination of tires varied by season.
