ERJ staff report (DS)

SUffolk, UK - Bartrums Warehousing and Distribution has awarded its exclusive tyre contract to GITI Tire (UK) Ltd. Operating over 400 tractor units and trailers the Suffolk based transport company specialises in haulage, warehousing and distribution.

In October 2010 Bartrums entered into a tyre test programme to benchmark the performance of their previous premium tyre brand against another quality tyre manufacturer. The firm compared GT Radial brand for test against two leading premium tyre manufacturers.

Over a period of eighteen months various GT Radial patterns were subjected to a comparative test including different vehicle types and wheel positions the results of which has enabled GITI Tire to replace Bartrums previous tyre supplier of 18 years with GT Radial across the entire fleet.
