At South West Express we only use cleanskin tyres on all prime movers and trailers.
This approach has numerous benefits to the company with regards to wear life, reliability and safety; however it also enables us to better manage a major waste issue presented to most transport companies.
Once tyres reach their wear life, they are traded in with our tyre supplier, who can recap and resell these to other operators. This approach has enabled South West Express to change our used tyre procedures from a problem of expensive and environmentally damaging waste removal, to a position of retaining them as a valuable and saleable asset.
