Tyre wholesale
Tyre wholesalers play a crucial role in the supply chain, acting as the vital link between manufacturers and retailers. The success of many well-established international tyre brands within local markets can often be attributed to the dedicated efforts of these businesses. In addition to distributing renowned brands, wholesalers provide their customers with product exclusivity through private brand offerings. Our October magazine delves into the tyre wholesale sector, highlighting the activities of both UK-based wholesalers and those supplying into the UK market. The issue also presents the latest developments and news in tyre wholesale at home and further afield.

Industrial tyres
During the pandemic, the importance of both the commercial tyre and industrial tyre businesses were demonstrated. For the world at large, they provided the necessary logistics support to make sure important items arrived at the right destination whatever else was going on.
There are other differences too. Passenger car drivers have a vested interest in the cost, performance, safety and sustainability of the tyres they drive on. In the industrial sector it is different. A forklift, for example, could be driven by a dozen different drivers for as a long as possible before it requires changing and then it is someone else’s responsibility to arrange fitment and pay for services. And yet the trends relating to the impact of industrial tyre choice on cost, performance, safety and sustainability have evolved in parallel with other tyre segments are customers are increasingly demanding high-performance, cost-effective and sustainable products. In October’s magazine, Tyres & Accessories takes a closer look at the products and trends meeting those needs.
