Marangoni adds products to retreaded earthmover tyre range

Marangoni has introduced a number of new products to its range of large-sized and earthmover orientated tyres. These new products, available in sizes 27.00×49, 31/80×49 and 31/90×49, have reportedly been developed with the MRLS Recaflex and MDT Recaflex profiles. In addition these tyres now have a deeper tread pattern than the previous models, with the depth increased from 70 to 75 mm. This feature, combined with a larger footprint and a low hysteresis compound, is designed to offer longer tread life without negatively affecting casing life.

EPA selects Yokohama truck casing as SmartWay retread benchmark

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is using a commercial truck tyre casing from Yokohama Tire Corporation to establish a SmartWay verification program for retreaded tyres fitted to Class 8 line-haul trucks. “We are excited that the EPA has designated the RY617 steer and all-position tyre for their verification program as the benchmark casing for retread technologies,” said Rick Phillips, Yokohama director of commercial sales. When a retread receives EPA certification, fleets using those tyres become compliant with California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations for low rolling resistance tyres.

Shamrock Marketing aiming to grow in Europe

The Reifen show is a meeting point for both long-established and new companies; Shamrock Marketing Inc. belongs – at least in Europe – to the second of these groups. The US-based trading company, which was founded in Louisville, Kentucky twenty years ago by Douglas Conley, now seeks to enter the European market. The firm began life as a distributor of vulcanisation envelopes, and although this remains a core element of the company’s business activities in the US and other markets, Douglas Conley Jr. told Tyres & Accessories that Shamrock has added many additional products to its portfolio during the last 20 years. Shamrock Marketing’s current range covers accessories, tools and equipment such as autoclaves, monorails, buffers and envelope spreaders, plus tyre mounting equipment – everything needed in a cost-efficient retreading facility.

Micheldever instigates removed tyre drilling policy

Micheldever Tyre Services has formalised a policy of drilling removed tyres with a view to preventing used tyres entering illegal or dangerous secondary markets. According to Mark Harley, retail operations director, at Micheldever Tyre Services: “Tyres removed from vehicles are usually taken off for a reason…they may have hidden damage which is only likely to be revealed when the car is driven down the road. The reality is that they pose a real road safety danger, are not fit for purpose and in fact offer very poor value for money”. According to a recent Auto Express survey, arranged in conjunction with TyreSafe, the cost per millimetre of part worn versus new tyres was almost double.
