Dick Denby Transport has become the first UK haulier to fit Michelin's new X One MaxiTrailer tyres, which according to its manufacturer delivers up to 50% more mileage than standard 385/65 R 22.5 tyres.
Dick Denby, chairman, says: "We fit a lot of Michelin tyres across our fleet and will be monitoring the MaxiTrailer tyres very closely, to carefully ascertain the benefits they offer in comparison with our regular trailer fitment. Any tyre which claims to offer such a massive leap forward in mileage performance is certainly worth putting to the test, as the pay back across the fleet could be significant."
