Bob Dickman Tire Center supplying next generation SmarTire for RVs to Country
Coach

RICHMOND, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA - June 16, 2004 - SmarTire Systems Inc.

(OTCBB: SMTR) today announced that its distributor, Bob Dickman Tire Center, is supplying the Company's products to Country Coach Inc. as standard equipment on

the Prevost line and as an option on their other lines.
SmarTire for RVs is the next generation tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)

specifically designed to meet the needs of recreational vehicles.
http://www.countrycoach.com/redirect/?u=finance.yahoo.com/q?s=NVH&d=v1> Country Coach is a leading RV manufacturer with an extensive line of coaches including the http://www.countrycoach.com/model.cfm?brand=isp> Inspire,
http://www.countrycoach.com/model.cfm?brand=all> Allure,
http://www.countrycoach.com/model.cfm?brand=int> Intrigue,
http://www.countrycoach.com/model.cfm?brand=mag> Magna,
http://www.countrycoach.com/model.cfm?brand=aff> Affinity,
http://www.countrycoach.com/model.cfm?brand=lex> Lexa and
http://www.countrycoach.com/model.cfm?brand=cnv> Prevost XLII Conversion, and

the http://www.countrycoach.com/model.cfm?brand=dmx> DynoMax(r) chassis.

The new SmarTire for RVs system incorporates the Company's new high pressure transmitters, an improved receiver as well as a graphic display mounted in view

of the driver. SmarTire for RVs monitors both tire pressure and temperature, warning the driver if a tire is under-inflated, loses pressure while driving or if the tire temperature rises abnormally. This tire information is critical for

the safe and efficient operation of a recreational vehicle.
An important new feature of the SmarTire for RVs system is that it can be configured to include additional low pressure sensors to monitor the wheels of a towed vehicle or trailer. This complete system provides RV owners with a new

level of safety, convenience and piece of mind, knowing that all the tires on

the vehicle or trailer are being monitored.
The systems for Country Coach are being supplied and installed by Bob Dickman

Tire Center in Junction City, Oregon. SmarTire for RVs can also be installed as

an aftermarket product on most recreational vehicles.
"We are honored that such a well established manufacturer as Country Coach has

chosen our system for its prestigious line of recreational vehicles," says John

Taylor-Wilson, VP Sales & Marketing, SmarTire Systems Inc. "RV tires operate very close to their load limits. Therefore, operating on under-inflated tires

can have disastrous consequences. Our new SmarTire for RVs provides a complete

tire monitoring and early warning system that covers not only the coach but also the assets being towed behind."
The sale of recreational vehicles is an approximately $12B industry in the US,

growing at an annual rate of 7%. As is the case with passenger car tires, recreational vehicle tire under-inflation is a serious concern. A study conducted by the Recreational Vehicle Safety Education Foundation revealed that

four out of five RVs had at least one tire under-inflated and a third of those

were dangerously under-inflated to the point of being at risk of failure.
SmarTire Systems Inc. develops and markets proprietary tire monitoring systems

for the transportation industry worldwide. Incorporated in 1987, SmarTire is a

public company with offices in North America and Europe.
