Kings Road Tyres adapts brand strategy with new Tianli, Maxam deals

Tianli flotation radials are now part of KRT's range

Kings Road Tyres (KRT) has adapted its brand strategy to meet customer needs in 2013, saying the key to success in demanding market conditions is to meet the changing needs of trade customers. With this in mind, the wholesaler has recently launched new distribution deals with Chinese OTR manufacturer Tianli, and with Luxembourg-based construction and industrial pneumatic tyre supplier, Maxam.

KRT is already one of the UK’s leading distributors of agricultural tyres, but made the decision to extend its offer further with the introduction of 14 new trailer tyres from Chinese OTR manufacturer Tianli. “Tianli is a well-established manufacturer of specialist OTR and agricultural tyres which offer UK customers a cost-effective alternative fitment option in a range of popular size and tread patterns,” explains KRT’s purchasing and marketing manager, Tim Bader.

In addition to its Tianli distributorship, KRT is also an appointed distributor for Michelin, Kleber, Firestone, Goodyear and Trelleborg AGR tyres, along with exclusive UK distribution for Taurus and the new Linglong Radial Drive tyres.
