Electing New Tires

The primary season is off and running, and America’s heartland is speaking loud and clear—they are voting for the person they feel is best for the job, not the person with the most media attention, star power, or biggest name. Our Alliance, Galaxy, and Primex tires may not be as well known or have big flashy marketing as the other brands, but we have something more important that operators can believe in from sea to shining sea: a commitment to delivering the hardest working, most durable, and best-performing tire we can make.

Primex Tires for Wood Pellet Operations 

In recent years, European policymakers have pushed utilities to find alternatives to burning coal for energy. The result of this push has been the emergence and explosion of the wood pellet industry in the United States, and no one is benefiting more from this bull market than southeastern foresters. It’s estimated that the wood pellet market jumped from 1,000 tons produced in 2009 to over 5 million tons being produced today. But, like many emerging and fast-growing industries, the wood pellet industry has been met with speculation about its sustainability and its impact on the land that supports it.

How We Rolled Into Tire Making History

We are constantly looking forward and trying to imagine what the tire of the future looks like. Day in and day out, we're working on developing higher-performing, longer-lasting, more efficient tires to help you increase productivity and lower your total cost of ownership (TCO). It’s hard to believe that rubber tires have only been popular for a little over a hundred years, and that they were first popularized on bicycles, of all things. If only those people could see the incredible ag, forestry, and industrial tires we build today—much less the amazing machines that those tires are responsible for transporting, they would be amazed! In order to truly appreciate where we are with modern tire technology, you have to appreciate where we came from, so here’s a quick look at the evolution of the tire.
