Marangoni Extends Range of Ringtread Trailer Rings

Marangoni Retreading Systems has completed its range of Ringtread trailer rings with its RZ Fe 100 pattern.

The RZ Fe 100 is designed to respond to the needs of users in the long-distance segment. The pattern is ideal for intercity express coaches, drive axles on 6×2 units and twin trailer axles that require continuous high-speed operation, Marangoni said.

The non-directional, all-position pattern features four wide longitudinal grooves and numerous cross sipes helping to ensure traction and resistance to overheating. A new compound ensures grip and offers low rolling resistance allowing the retread to offer high mileage, Marangoni noted. Additionally, specific groove depth and wave pattern reduce the risk of penetration by sharp objects and ensures water dispersion and reduces road noise.

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has named Ryan Waldron as president of the company's Americas business unit, reporting to Chief Executive Officer and President Mark Stewart. He succeeds Steven R. McClellan, who retired on April 1.

"At Goodyear, our customers are at the center of everything we do, and in Ryan Waldron, we have a customer-centric, execution-focused business leader with a deep understanding of both the marketplace and all aspects of our business, as well as a proven track record of delivering results," Stewart said. "I am thrilled to announce him as president of Goodyear's Americas business and have enormous confidence that under his leadership, both the company and our customers will reach even greater levels of success."
