OTR Launch CushionTyre in UK

In early April Derbyshire based OTR Tyres Ltd, one of the UK’s leading earthmover tyre remoulders and suppliers, launched the OTR CushionTyre onto the UK market – a tyre OTR Tyres say will eliminate tyre downtime by combining a pneumatic-like ride with solid tyre durability, and also improve tyre running costs per hour.

Manufactured with two rows of apertures built into the tyre’s sidewall structure, the OTR CushionTyre allows for greater shock absorption while the overall solid weight of the tyre is reduced. The CushionTyre is available in a range of sizes and tread patterns.

Most suitable for high hazard environments, the anti-abrasion compound formula and deep tread design of the CushionTyre ensures resistance to cuts and punctures, and although wear will obviously occur over time, the tyre can easily be retreaded to maximise working life. CushionTyre also has the advantage of being suitable for use in quarries at the rock face – replacing the need for tyres and chains.

Les Williams, OTR’s sales director commented “Figures have shown a minimum 30 per cent benefit in cost and wear rate in comparison to other brands. In addition to the obvious repair and wear benefits, the user is reducing scrap disposal costs by extending the life of the original tyre.” He added that OTR Tyres has exclusive sales and distribution for the CushionTyre in the UK.
