Three mid-range Taurus steer and drive tyres, for trucks and coaches, are to be introduced by ATS Euromaster, each made in European plants by Michelin.

The Taurus Roads F (steer) and D (drive) fitments replace a previous generation of tyre in the popular 225/75 R 22.5, 295/80 R 22.5 and 315/80 R 22.5 sizes.

Claimed to be suitable for long and short journeys on all types of roads, they are said to feature a robust casing, optimised contact patch and a directional tread pattern on the drive axle to ensure even wear.

All three new drive tyres carry M+S (Mud + Snow) sidewall markings. The 295/80 and 315/80 drive tyres also meet the new 3PMSF (3 Peaks Mountain Snow Flake) standard.

"Taurus tyres are manufactured in Michelin Group factories within Europe, each meeting stringent environmental and quality management standards," explains Peter Fairlie, group sales director of ATS Euromaster.

"This gives customers the reassurance they are buying quality tyres, purpose-built for European road and climate conditions," he colntginues.

"Taurus tyres are also designed to be regroovable and retreadable, which enables our technicians to help fleets extract multiple lives and maximum value from the same robust casing."

Tyres from the new range are available from ATS Euromaster truck centres nationwide, and form part of a 'Roads' range available in eight sizes.

The supplier also offers Taurus' specialist 'On/Off' line-up of tyres for vehicles that need to operate off-road, when delivering to building sites and quarries.

There is also a 'City' range for refuse collection vehicles and city buses working in urban and suburban areas at low average speeds.
