Eccles-based Scottish haulier Olivers Transport has set a new record-high mileage of 362,689km on a set of 295/80 R 22.5 X MultiWay 3D XDE drive tyres – lauding them as Michelin’s best regional tyre yet.

The four 295/80 R 22.5 X MultiWay 3D XDE tyres, which had been regrooved, were removed from a DAF 6×2 tractor unit used regularly on a return trip from the company’s Scotland base to Birmingham.

The Company’s previous best runout figure, 300,921km, came from a set of Michelin XDN2 Grip drive tyres, and its Fleet Engineer Kevin Hawker says the new record-high figures demonstrate how Michelin tyres’ on-road performance has improved over time.

“Those are remarkable numbers for a set of drive tyres, particularly considering that when you leave our Scotland base you have to drive an hour to reach a motorway – so the tyres are dealing with all kinds of roads”, he says.

A family-owned business, Olivers Transport runs a fleet of 30 trucks and 45 trailers throughout the UK, having specified Michelin as its preferred tyre brand for more than 25 years.
