Truckers Deliver Holiday Spirit 

Santa and his reindeer get a lot of credit for delivering presents to the nation’s children, but the truth is the real heroes of the holidays—truckers—don’t ride in sleighs and rely on horsepower rather than Rudolph to make sure the season’s must-have presents are delivered in time to get under the tree.

Our Global Influence 

Anyone who has spent much time traveling knows the comfort a little touch of home can provide. For some travelers, it’s as ordinary as a pillow or a favorite television show loaded onto an iPad. For others, it may be the sight of the iconic golden arches of McDonald’s and the prospect of a Big Mac after a few days of exotic and unfamiliar food. For some of our frequent fliers, it’s the sight of an Alliance, Galaxy, or Primex tire outside of the U.S. that serves as a comforting reminder of home—especially if it’s on a machine that would feel at place in America’s heartland.

As of Jan 1, 2021, Alliance Tire Group and Alliance Tire Americas, Inc. changed their names to Yokohama Off-Highway Tires and Yokohama Off-Highway Tires America, Inc respectively. The Alliance, Galaxy and Primex brands and product names remain unchanged. Product information is available at www.yokohama-oht.com.

Introducing the Galaxy YM SDS Press-On Tire

Alliance Tire Americas is launching its new Galaxy YM SDS press-on band tire this week to augment the company’s Severe Duty Solid (SDS) tire line. With 42 SKUs immediately available, the new banded tire rounds out ATG’s material handling offering and makes it easier for forklift owners to quickly replace worn-out tires and get back to work.

A Tough Tire for Tough Jobs

Perhaps no group faces a more challenging collection of problems than our forestry tire customers. If dilemmas such as a lack of labor, fluctuating markets and erratic weather weren’t enough, today’s loggers need to move huge, high-horsepower machinery into often-remote and difficult-to-access parts of the forest—and then they have to remove huge, heavy timber from the forest. To address these issues, we've created the Primex LogStomper Extreme.

Four Terrifying Ways that Farmers Treat Their Tires 

With Halloween here, we got to thinking about the things that scare us. While the obvious answer this time of year is horror movies, black cats, and trick-or-treaters, the truth is we see things a lot scarier than Freddy Krueger or Michael Myers on farms across the U.S. on a regular basis. Farmers, please do us a favor (and put an end to our nightmares) and stop doing these four scary things.
