5 New Tire Styles We Released Last Year

We make application specific tires, purpose-built to solve the problems our customers face every day on the job. In some cases, solving an issue facing a customer might simply involve introducing them to a tire that already exists in our extensive lineup; in other cases, it involves working with our customers and our R&D team to bring a new tire to market. In 2017, we launched five new tire styles—including a “world’s first”—and introduced an entirely new brand of truck tires.

Celebrating National Truck Driver Appreciation Week

With roughly 3.5 million professional drivers helping create $650 billion in revenue per year in the U.S. it’s no wonder truckers get a whole week of appreciation—this September 10 through 16, we celebrate National Truck Driver Appreciation Week. Even more notable is the backbone of this industry isn’t large conglomerates, rather it’s a collection small fleet owners and independent operators responsible for transporting clothes, food, and goods across the nation.

Alliance Tire Group today announced the launch of its new Constellation truck tire brand. Constellation is making its debut in the U.S. medium radial truck (MRT) market with thirteen tread patterns—50 SKUs in all—that cover drive, steer and trailer positions and fill long-haul, regional and mixed service applications, several of which are SmartWay verified. Alliance says new introductions in the coming year will provide even more options to commercial tire dealers and truck owners.
