Auto Bild result reinforces Westlake quality/value message, says Zenises

As reported today, German motoring magazine Auto Bild recently published its annual winter tyre test. Out of the 50 tested tyres, only 16 were deemed worthy of progressing to the second round of tests – and just 14 were given a ‘recommended’ or higher rating. Many in the final 14 were products from household name premium tyre manufacturers, but – as Leicester City showed Manchester United last month – it isn’t always the big names that finish on top. A name many didn’t expect to see was Westlake, who received a recommended result for its SW608 and in doing so highlighted the truth that not all Chinese tyres are price-driven, lower-quality products.

Sun shines on NTDA Golf Day

The 2013 NTDA Golf Day, sponsored once again by Westlake Tyres, was held on Wednesday, 24 July. The setting was the stunning stately home of Brocket Hall, which stands in 540 acres of grounds and boasts two championship golf courses. The NTDA event took place on the Palmerston course and, unlike last year at The Belfry, when a torrential rainstorm swept the course, the day's play took place in brilliant sunshine. A full list of winners is given below, but a couple of highlights were the guest speaker Adger Brown, who proved that comedy is not his only talent by winning the Les Amiss Bowl, and Brian O'Neill of the ITIA, who recorded a hole in one. The 'Beat the Pro' competition on the fifth hole raised the figure of £400 for BEN.
