Apollo Tyres Partners with TMT for Truck Trailer Tires

TMT Tanks & Trailers selected Apollo Tyres’ EnduRace RT2 tire as original equipment for its ‘moving floor’ truck trailers. TMT has taken delivery of its first order from Apollo Tyres, including two different sizes of the EnduRace RT2 for 22.5-inch wheels, the 385/65 R22.5 and the new 385/55 R22.5.

Produced at Apollo Tyres’ plant in Hungary, the company said its EnduRace RT2 features a tread pattern that offers even wear and uniform pressure distribution across a wide contact area, minimizing rolling resistance and noise, as well as ensuring low rates of wear to help manage whole-life costs. Apollo said the tire has been designed with a reinforced casing and a tread compound which reduces abrasion and heat build-up to offer enhanced tear-resistance. The EnduRace RT2 is also certified for snow grip with the ‘three-peak mountain snowflake’ mark.

TMT was nominated in the ‘Smart Trailer’ category at the Trailer Innovation Awards for its ‘moving floor’ truck trailers.

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."
