Scottish haulier switches entire fleet to Michelin’s X Multi range after a tyres trial.
DYCE CARRIERS, the Aberdeen based family haulage firm, is transitioning its 100 strong fleet of HGVs and trailers to Michelin’s X Multi range of tyres after a two-year trial showed clear improvements in mileage and performance in comparison to the tyres it was running previously.
Over the next 12 months, the haulier will fit X Multi tyres on the drive and steer axles of its 65 trucks, which include models from MAN, Renault, Scania and Volvo. The company’s fleet of trailers, including curtainsiders, step frames and low loaders, will also be moved onto an X Multi policy.
Colin Johnstone, transport manager at Dyce Carriers said: “We found the life cycle of the Michelin tyres to be exceptionally good. With our previous tyre supplier we were getting as little as 11 months wear out of them.
