With 2018 winding down, we’re looking back at the year’s 10 most popular stories on Counterman.com.
A quick caveat: The list only includes stories posted to the Counterman website in 2018. We’re still seeing traction from stories posted last year – such as “What Causes a Car Battery to Fail,” posted on Dec. 14, 2017 – and even before that. One of the most enduring stories is “Replace TPMS Sensors When Installing New Tires?” which dates back to Aug. 27, 2013.
So you might say this is a list of the top 10 new stories of 2018. Here’s the list, in descending order, ranked by page views.
