KRT’s exclusive brands bring something different to OTR market

With its Kingstone private brand and the well known Aeolus moniker, leading wholesaler Kings Road Tyres (KRT) brings two exclusive tyre brands to the OTR tyre market.

According to the company, the fast-growing Aeolus brand was established in 1965 and is one of the largest tyre producers in China. Its extensive OTR range reflects the huge domestic demand for off-road and construction machinery experienced in China in recent years.

In the UK Aeolus supplies tyres for use on earth-moving machinery and high speed cranes, in addition to its extensive truck and bus radial offer with fitments for on/off road and mixed service applications. A consistently competitive price/quality ratio is a key sales factor and is backed by a commitment to on-going research and development in bringing new fitments and patterns into the market.

Aeolus earthmover tyres in action

KRT recently launched a dedicated new Aeolus website to improve awareness and knowledge of the company’s extensive range of specialist tyre applications. www.aeloustyres.co.uk includes size, application and technical details for all Aeolus products including its OTR line-up, which includes the following patterns. A2207 E4; A2208 E4; A2230 G2; A2233 L5; A2236 L3/E3; A2237 L3D/E3D; A2238 E4; A2239 L5; A2257 L3/E3; A2259 L3/E3   A2366 IND4; A2200 L5S.

Complementing its extensive earth-mover range, Aeolus also offers six sizes of high speed crane tyres with its A2235 E2 pattern. KRT also supplies high speed crane tyres with its house brand Kingstone product, covering three popular sizes – KSVO1 385/95R24, 385/95R25 & 445/95R25.

Kingstone tyre sizes come in three sizes for high speed crane applications in the KSVO1 pattern. Tim Bader, KRT’s purchasing and marketing manager, said: 

“Aeolus is a well-known brand in the OTR sector and we are building on that position with the new website. The combination of an extensive range of quality products at competitive prices is proving to be popular in a very discerning and competitive market place.”

The full range of KRT commercial tyres, including the Aeolus and Kingstone OTR and high speed crane applications, can be viewed in a new electronic brochure available by clicking the link to KRT Commercial Range Guide 2012

Aeolus and Kingstone will receive further trade exposure at this autumn’s Brityrex International exhibition in Manchester.

Aeolus will be exhibiting on Stand 45 while Kingstone will be part of the main KRT presence on Stand 21A.
