Truck tyre size shift continues, reports Michelin
Stoke-on-Trent, May 4, 2016Michelin has reported that demand for truck tyres on the UK replacement market is continuing to show a steady shift to 315/70 R 22.5 fitments – driven by the growth of Euro VI registrations and operators realising the total cost of ownership benefits offered over traditional low aspect ratio 295/80 R 22.5 tyres. The premium tyre manufacturer points to figures released by the European Tyre & Rubber Manufacturers Association which show the 295/80 R 22.5 – the long-time favourite of UK hauliers– has decreased its share of the UK's replacement market by 3 points
