Bartrums selects GITI Tire radials following evaluation 06 March 2012

GITI Tire (UK) has won a sole supplier agreement with one of the UK's highest profile fleets, Bartrums Warehousing and Distribution.

Bartrums started a tyre test programme back in I October 2010, to benchmark the performance of its previous premium tyre brand against other quality manufacturers.

Albert Bartlett, regional sales manager GITI Tire, says: "Tony Blackburn has managed the tyre requirements of the Bartrums fleet since 1983, before starting his own business, Drayton Tyres. With a dedicated tyre workshop based at Trumbar Truck Care, he is best placed to closely monitor the performance of each tyre and demonstrate to Bartrums fleet engineer David Reid the PPK [pence per kilometre] benefits of the GT Radial product."

For 18 months, various GT Radial patterns were subjected to a comparative test programme, which included various vehicle types and wheel positions. The results have evidently enabled GITI Tire to replace Bartrums previous tyre supplier of 18 years with GT Radial across the entire fleet.

Operating over 400 tractor units and trailers, Suffolk based Bartrums specialises in haulage, warehousing and distribution.
