Application-Specific Tires for Regional-Haul Fleets 

Regional-haul (RH) was already an expanding segment of the trucking market, and the pandemic accelerated its growth exponentially with the rapid embrace of eCommerce. The rise of digital marketplaces drove demand for services such as last-mile delivery and pickup-and-delivery routes—resulting in a surge of regional-haul trucking.

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.

Alliance Tire Americas has launched a new line of truck and bus radial (TBR) tires under its Galaxy brand. The new Galaxy TBR line includes 10 designs and more than 40 sizes of 16-ply, all-steel radials, with plans for continued expansion. The new Galaxy family of truck and bus radials includes long-haul, regional and long/short hybrid tires for steer, drive and trailer positions.
