<\/p>\nBallymoney-based J Adams & Sons Transport is switching its fleet of 16 tractor units and 35 trailers to a full Michelin X Multi new and Remix policy, in a move designed to maximise tyre life and sustainability.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Commenting, managing director John Adams says: \u201cWe were previously paying less per tyre but fitting more tyres, as we just weren\u2019t getting the longevity.<\/p>\n
“With Michelin we\u2019re paying more per corner, but we can already see from tread depth readings that the tyres are on target to deliver much better mileage performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will see our tyre bills reduce over time, whilst the extended replacement intervals will mean less downtime and fewer wheel interventions as a result.<\/p>\n
“We also have the reassurance of Michelin\u2019s tyre damage guarantee to protect our investment in a premium fitment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Local dealer Modern Tyres in Ballyclare is supplying the Michelin tyres and will regroove them when they reach around 4mm of remaining tread depth.<\/p>\n
This process increases mileage potential by around 25 per cent per tyre, saving approximately 70kg of raw materials for every four tyres regrooved.<\/p>\n
It will also manage the fitment of Michelin Remix tyres which can nearly double the lifespan of a new Michelin casing, saving natural resources and supporting UK manufacturing.<\/p>\n
The company runs 12 Volvos, two Scanias, and one Renault and DAF tractor unit, operating with a predominantly curtainside trailer fleet \u2013 plus an animal feed trailer with Moffett truck-mounted forklift. On average, each truck covers around 125,000 km per annum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
