TBC Wholesale Group said that three of its Sumitomo brand radial truck tires have received U.S. EPA SmartWay verification.
Added to the SmartWay Transport Partnership list of verified low-rolling resistance tires were the Sumitomo ST778SE steer radial, ST710SE trailer radial and ST938SE drive radial.
"Three very good truck tires have been made even better with the incorporation of low-rolling resistance technology,” said Richard Purol, vice president of marketing. “SmartWay verified technologies not only protect the environment, they save fleets money by reducing fuel expense. We are proud to support these important goals."
The ST778SE and ST710SE are currently available, with the ST938SE availability targeted for later this year.
