Scottish Borders Council is readying itself for the winter with a move to fitting Michelin’s specialist XDW Ice Grip tyres across its fleet of gritters – after trial sets proved their worth during the Beast from the East.

The students of an enterprising girls’ national school in Co. Louth who tackled the use of mobile phones by their parents in cars have been awarded the Road Safety Authority (RSA) ‘Gertie Shields Supreme Award’ in road safety for 2018.

Further to the NTDA’s announcement on December 5, that it is taking action against a number of UK tyre retailers who are falsely claiming to be members of the Association, it’s Chief Executive, Stefan Hay has issued the following statement:

Technology company and manufacturer of premium tyres, Continental has officially opened its research laboratory named “Taraxagum Lab Anklam” in Anklam, Germany.

Continental is further enhancing its support services to strengthen its partnership with ContiTread cold retread shops. John Cox, Global Head of Technical Services Retread, is heading the further development of the ContiTread support services landscape.

Go-Ahead, one of the UK’s largest passenger transport groups, has extended its 21-year relationship with Michelin thanks, in part, to the manufacturer’s continuing development of sustainable products.
