Jim DeChene, WTA vice president, traveled with former Goodyear engineers, a compounding specialist, design specialist and plant manager. The team spent 12 hours a day for two weeks analyzing conditions, raw materials, formulations, production methods and technician experience at seven plants in China.

“Our goal is to provide a line of OTR tires that will compete with the majors,” DeChene said. “We back our tires with a WTA warranty and also provide $5 million of international and $6 million of domestic product liability insurance.

“WTA’s line of OTR tires, Xtreme Force and Xtreme Load, are the perfect solution for companies looking for a steady supply of quality OTR tires in a market where supply is limited,” DeChene added.
