From 30 June to 2 July, WESTLAKE Tyre presented its product portfolio at Road Transport Expo (RTX) 2026, together with its UK distributor, International Tyres.
WESTLAKE Commercial Tyre Solutions
At RTX 2026, visitors had a chance to explore a selection of WESTLAKE commercial vehicle tyre solutions designed to support operators across long-haul, regional and mixed-service applications.
WESTLAKE introduced WTR PRO, a new truck tyre designed for high-mileage performance and suitable for medium- and long-haul operations on highways and regional routes. The tyre features a wear-resistant tread compound and a tread design that supports durability, reduces stone retention and helps lower operational risks.
The WTR PRO carries both M+S and 3PMSF markings, supporting its performance across a wide range of operating conditions. The product launch is supported by International Tyres with an introductory offer for service providers and fleets alike.
“The International Tyres Sales Team is delighted to be on the WESTLAKE stand supporting the launch of the WTR PRO — a high-load 385/65R22.5 tyre, which is the widest and deepest super single in its segment, providing great value to UK operators,” said Richard Allen, Commercial Director of International Tyres.
International Tyres is partnering with WESTLAKE Service Professionals across the UK to launch the “Who can go the distance with WTR PRO” challenge, which will reward both the service professional and the end user who achieve the longest distance, measured by a fixed Hubometer, between RTX 2026 and RTX 2027.
“The challenge is another example of our partnership with ZC Rubber, which continues to evolve in response to market feedback and find innovative ways to demonstrate WESTLAKE’s value against competitor offerings locally. We are looking forward to seeing the results,” Allen added.
WESTLAKE also presented its WSA2 and WDA2 tyres. WSA2 tyres are designed for long-haul and regional operations, supporting long mileage, handling and even wear through their wide tread, four wavy main grooves and multi-lateral kerfs. WDA2 is a drive tyre that combines strong grip, traction, low rolling resistance and riding stability through its combination of tread block design, multi 3D sipes and wide tread width.
“Together with International Tyres, we are pleased to bring WESTLAKE’s commercial tyre solutions closer to fleet operators in the UK market,” said Andrew Reitzner, UK National Sales Manager of ZC Rubber.
“RTX provides a valuable opportunity to meet customers face to face, understand their operating requirements and share how WESTLAKE products can support local market needs. We are especially excited to introduce the WTR PRO to UK fleets and operators, offering a mileage-focused trailer tyre solution designed to deliver dependable performance and strong value in daily operations.”
