Eurotire, an emerging global leader in the design and manufacture of OTR tyres for the mining industry, and Advantage PressurePro, leaders in TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) technology, have signed a definitive distribution agreement. With this, Eurotire becomes a distributor for PressurePro TPMS products for its Eurotire tyre customers and tyre services and support programs around the world. The application of TPMS technology to mining tyre applications provides a primary benefit of supporting improved overall mining vehicle safety. Furthermore, when properly integrated into a mine’s tyre maintenance program, the customer using the PressurePro TPMS can realise decreased tire maintenance costs, increased haul truck fuel efficiency, and fewer vehicle accidents and costly repairs, Eurotire reports. Vehicle operators can experience enhanced vehicle stability and braking and reduced fatigue as a direct result of improved tyre and vehicle maintenance practices.

Distribution of the PressurePro TPMS is a natural extension of Eurotire’s focus on providing mining customers with the OTR tyre service and support tools they need to maximise tyre productivity. Reducing tyre costs through better tire monitoring with the PressurePro TPMS is an essential portion of a worldclass vehicle maintenance program. Eurotire’s EuroCare services and recently announced EuroTools tyre maintenance tools are also examples of Eurotire’s focus on providing the customer with essential service and support products.

“We are excited to bring Eurotire’s expertise and global market reach to the PressurePro distribution network,” stated Phillip Zaroor, President and CEO of PressurePro. “We are always excited to partner with companies that maintain the same commitment to quality and value as we value and with over 50 years of experience providing the highest quality OTR tyres and service across numerous continents, Eurotire is well established as a standard for quality and durability in the mining industry. We look forward to working alongside Eurotire to bring added efficiencies to OTR fleets worldwide.”

Eurotire’s management team has emphasised the value of PressurePro’s commitment to quality, professionalism and technical expertise. Randy Toelle, Global Field Services Manager, explained, “We are extremely pleased to be a part of the PressurePro distribution network and to have the ability to take the PressurePro high quality TPMS products to our emerging markets customers. For years the tyre manufacturers and equipment operators have been looking for a real-time solution to monitor air pressure on their equipment, with PressurePro a solution for the industry has arrived.”
