Recession Spoils BEN’s Appetite for Annual Lunch

Product News

There’s no such thing as a free lunch, and for automotive industry charity BEN a dearth of funds in this period of recession has led to the cancellation of its 2009 lunch event. The BEN Annual Lunch, a thank you to supporters that have helped the charity over the previous year, is normally sponsored so as to not divert money from the main business of care and welfare. BEN reports, however, that the recession has affected its fundraising income, and that in these “difficult times” even its traditional supporters have needed to cut their costs.

Avon Encourages Tyre Pressure Checks for Bikers

Product News

Avon Tyres is urging bikers across the UK to ensure their tyres are properly inflated, warning of the sever drops in performance that can be the result of having incorrect air volumes inflating the rubber. The announcement has been made to coincide with May Bank Holiday weekend, when the crack of leather on willow is matched by the roar of the motorcycle, heralding the start of the biking summer. Having racked up a century of motorcycle tyre experience, Avon wants to make sure bikers aren’t caught on a sticky wicket in this busy period.

Peter McNally, Avon Tyres’ technical product manager for motorcycle tyres, says, “Tyre pressures on a motorcycle are critical to the safety of the rider aboard it – there’s no other way of putting it. The tyre’s connection with the road has to be perfect and if the tyre is under inflated after a winter’s lay-off, the bike will not handle properly and it could be dangerous.”

B&J Extends Repair Program

Product News

Swiss company B&J has earned a reputation as a key player in the retreading market. As well as the well known Rasp and Carbide tools, for five years B&J has offered tyre patches in all common sizes and the company has also made a name for itself in the area of tyre repair. Up till now, however, there were no B&J products for the fast repair of nail hole and puncture damage in the tyre tread. So-called mushroom plugs are a popular way of repairing these injuries quickly and easily and B&J has added this product to its repair materials program. “We now have five different sizes, from 1.5 to 10 mm, under the name Rocket Combi,” explains Andreas Müller, Managing Director of B&J Rocket Sales AG in Baar. The commonly used sizes of 6 to 8 mm diameter are also available in different packaging units. Like the existing repair products, Rocket Combi can be obtained via the respective sales outlets and dealers as well as the B&J Online Shop.

Bridgestone Americas Extends Duravis Line-Up

Career Tracks

The Bridgestone Duravis heavy-duty light truck commercial tyre range, originally introduced onto the North American market in 2007, is being extended through the introduction of the Duravis M895. Key features on this new all-season tyre are steel reinforced sidewalls and an on/off road capability.

Like the Duravis R250, the design features of the Duravis M895 includes a reinforced steel casing for long life and retreadability, and other enhanced technologies for optimum performance.

Its heavy-duty construction helps protect the tyre in the most challenging applications and environments, Bridgestone notes.
