The National Tyre Distributors Association (NTDA) has announced that it is launching a new Responsible Repairer Group for companies providing major repairs for TBR, OTR, Agricultural and Plant & Equipment tyres. 

Imerys, the supplier of mineral-based specialty solutions, reports a significant reduction in tyre replacement and vehicle downtime since installing a TyreWatch remote monitoring service at its quarry in Furzebrook, Dorset. 

BKT's range of over 2,700 tyres is expanding again. The latest is EARTHMAX SR 412, designed to equip articulated dump trucks, loaders and dozers. 

Galaxy's OTR tyre, the HTSR 400, now offers new rubber compounds to further enhance cut resistance and heat resistance. Three variants are available in three sizes to match customer demands –application specific and purpose-built, as well as excellent durability and minimum downtime. 

Michelin has launched new portal pro.michelin.es in Spain to support transport professionals, the agricultural and mining sectors and other industrial activity. It includes a tyre finder and specific sections for fleet management, as well as tips and advice. Also, direct access to MyPortal is available offering sector news, offers, promotions and exclusive gifts. 

Bridgestone’s agricultural tyre offering has continued appealing to farmers and contractors, after the company doubled the period of warranty cover on its extensive range of AG radial drive products to 10 years. 

Sisters Sandra and Leticia Civera run Neumáticos Civera, two workshops that are part of the BestDrive network, with the aim of future development of the business. After moving to this new 2,400 m2 location, the workshop offers tyre and mechanical services to all types of vehicles, as well as fleet services and roadside assistance. 

Kleber has launched a new generation of its Topker agricultural tyre range, featuring IF (improved flexion) technology for the first time. The Kleber Topker IF is specifically designed to improve grip, comfort and productivity for high horsepower tractors delivering more than 200hp.
