Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. and Tredit Tire & Wheel Co. have signed a one-year contract extension for the supply of Goodyear trailer tires to original equipment trailer manufacturers.
Under the agreement – an extension of the supply contract originally signed in 2005 by the two companies – Goodyear will continue to supply its Marathon ST tires, which range in size from 13- to 16-inch wheel diameters.
Most trailer tires are delivered to OE trailer manufacturers as part of a tire-and-wheel assembly, relieving the trailer manufacturers of the burden of ordering tires, rims and valves, maintaining inventories, mounting and inflating. Tredit performs these functions and delivers completed assemblies on a just-in-time basis. Goodyear sells replacement tires for trailers through its nationwide retailer network.
