Stapleton’s Supplying 4×4 Tyres to Suit Every Pocket

As one of the largest distributors of passenger car tyres in the UK, Stapleton’s says it attempts to ensure it has a tyre suitable for every retailer and in every price bracket. In the 4×4 and SUV tyre segment the company accommodates retailer requirements by stocking all major brands.

Of late, 4x4s have found themselves on the wrong end of new tax policy, and this combined with the credit crunch and high fuel prices, has affected the already above average running costs associated with this type of vehicle. Some consumers now feel the need to more closely monitor their spending and make savings of their purchases. To make sure it can help tyre retailers faced with this situation, Stapleton’s says that its wide 4×4 rage includes both premium and more price oriented products.

Analysts: Slowdown May Cause Russian Tyremaker Growth

Following several years of consistent sales increases, full year 2008 figures may hit show a drop in Russian passenger car tyre sales by value. The profitable premium segment, which is dominated by non-Russian premium manufacturers, is expected to be the first to feel the pinch. On the other hand, the share of the market occupied by budget products is likely to increase, and some sources predict that Chinese and Korean tyre sales will be replaced by domestic Russian tyre makers’ products.

Half of Tyrexpo Asia’09 Stand Space Already Sold

Exhibitors have snapped up more 50 per cent of the floor space at next year’s Tyrexpo Asia show despite there being 11 months to go before the event opens its doors at the Singapore Expo Centre, between 24-26 March 2009. As well as the early commitment to taking space, ECI also report that companies are generally taking larger stands to promote their products and services than at previous shows.

According to organisers ECI International, the strong demand for space has justified the decision to bring the show forward from its traditional scheduling in September. Sales director Rowena Suthers said: “We have been delighted by the response which has already seen dozens of companies commit themselves to the event. We brought the show forward by six months to create more space in the calendar for our exhibitors and the reaction so far has backed this decision decisively.”
