Viking International – Performance for All Budgets

And the Glasgow based company is confident it can supply these products at highly competitive prices. Premium brands on offer include Pirelli, Continental, Dunlop, Michelin, Goodyear and Bridgestone in all the latest patterns and sizes.

As an alternative to premium brands, Viking International can supply its own ultra high performance tyre range, Millennium. Intended to provide high performance at an affordable price, the Millennium range comes in asymmetric and directional patterns, each designed with exceptional performance and handling in all weather conditions.

The asymmetric ‘Tri-Zone’ tread pattern is designed for maximum stability on the road, aiding water dispersal and reducing the risk of aquaplaning whilst providing superior ride comfort and reduced noise. Sizes to fit rims between 15 and 17-inches are available in 40 – 65 profiles and V and W speed ratings. Even further up the performance ladder is the Millennium directional pattern, a tyre Viking International reports delivers reliability and predictability when it really matters – at the extremes of performance handling. Its tread pattern emphasises wet weather performance, braking stability and manoeuvrability. The directional tyre is available in fitments between 17 and 19 inches, 35 – 45 profiles and W and Y speed ratings. (Tyres & Accessories/Staffordshire, U.K.)

Ascot Supply Corporation, based in Newnan, Georgia, has selected Mark Paquette for the newly created position of vice president. In this position, Ascot Supply said Paquette will oversee the growth of the company's products, corporate profitability, manage marketing and advertising and assume many other responsibilities.

He will work under the direction of current President David Kessler and officially begin his new role on June 3. Paquette joined the tire and automotive industry in the early 1980s at his father's tire shop, and his contributions to Mohawk Rubber Sales were instrumental in the company's growth and eventual sale to Myers Tire Supply in 2021, according to Ascot Supply. Paquette eventually was given a promotion to the role of director of operations at Myers Tire Supply.
