Tires of all stripes are frequently described as being round and black, but this definition does a disservice to the engineering and technology involved in customizing tires for certain uses. Tires that will last 150,000 to 200,000 miles or more on silky-smooth interstate highways are quite different from those that Regional Tire are developed and built for tough regional usage.

A regional tire is one that is used by companies that operate within a 300-mile radius, including public utilities, the government, food distribution, manufacturing, petroleum, and educational institutions. These vehicles typically operate on two-lane highways, side roads, and highways carrying medium to heavy goods. They often travel between 30,000 and 80,000 miles annually and return to home base at night.

According to Paul Tatarchuk, B2B special services coordinator for Michelin North America, "Tires in this category suffer various issues, including shoulder scrub, start/stop aggression, lateral scrub, and heel/toe wear."

Regional hauls now account for nearly 40% of the North American transportation sector, according to Goodyear. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, e-commerce sales in the United States reached $453.5 billion in 2017, an increase of 16% over the previous year.

According to Mahesh Kavaturu, marketing manager for Goodyear, the continued expansion of e-commerce and rising demand for last-mile delivery services "brings a proportional increase in the number of distribution hubs." "As a result, shipping routes are getting shorter, and truck routes are getting shorter and comes the need for Regional Tires."

As a result, tire manufacturers are under pressure to provide tires that are especially suitable for that use. If fleets make that distinction in their tire spec, they will likely experience lower total tire prices.

Conclusion

Customers can now get in touch with the Maestro Tire team and get a full container load of Regional Tire at factory prices, saving 15-20% on Tire costs.
