Working with Dealers and Customers to Build Great Tires

With the new year comes the opportunity to reflect on the past 365 days while also looking ahead to the year to come. Although every year is different—for example, new challenges and improved equipment—there is one thing you can expect to remain the same: our commitment to building application-specific tires that solve the real-world issues facing our customers.

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.

Make sure you didn’t miss any of our biggest stories this year by checking out our top ten blogs of 2018 below.

Galaxy Tires Save Christmas

Every worker in the warehouse liked Christmas a lot,
But the tire, who worked in the warehouse, Did NOT!
The tire loathed Christmas! The whole Christmas season!
Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.
It could be the tire just wasn’t mounted right.
It could be, perhaps, working long hours into the night.
But many think that the most likely reason,
May have been that the tire was not built for the holiday season.
Whatever the cause, the loads or the floors,
The tire moved through the warehouse, hating its chores,
Keeping forklifts, reach trucks, and workers aflow,
Moving quickly to get packages into the stows,
For the tire knew every person and machine in the DC,
Was busy with packages bound for the Christmas tree.

Preventing Stubble Damage to Tires

As part of the never-ending chase for higher farm yields, today’s corn is bred to be super resilient. Unfortunately, some of the advantages gained from these crops (increased resilience and higher yields) can be negated by costly downtime and tire replacement, thanks to the menacing short, stout, post-harvest stalks they leave behind. Fortunately, we build some of the most durable, puncture-resistant, and stubble-proof agricultural tires in the industry. Here are just a few of the ways our farm tires are being engineered to resist stubble damage.
