Colorado Port Service Tires Realize Unmatched Performance in Asia, Europe and Americas

    SEATTLE, WA, March 22, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Colorado Tire Corporation, USA ("CTC") is pleased to announce that its Colorado port service tires have achieved unmatched long-lasting performance at a comparatively lower cost under various port conditions worldwide.

Colorado port service tires are customized for all kinds of port equipment, including, but not limited to, Reach Stackers, Loaded Container Handlers, Empty Container Handlers, Straddle Carriers, Shuttle Carriers, Lift Trucks / Forklifts, Terminal Tractors, and Rubber Tire Gantry Cranes (RTG), etc. These applicable rim sizes include 49", 35", 33", 29", 25", 24", 22.5" and 20".

CTC has delivered tires with guaranteed performances for port-related operations in Europe, Asia and the Americas since 2006. To date, Colorado port service tires have worked extensively with various brands of port equipment, for both OEM and replacement purposes. These tires offer the best performance available at a cost that is reasonable and competitive.

As of March 2015, CTC has received numerous reports from Europe, Asia and the Americas on its Colorado port service tires' performance in the different countries with vastly varying conditions proving that the performance of these tires are consistent no matter what the conditions. The following are a summary of facts regarding the real performance of Colorado port service tires:

1. The earlier years' reports show that Colorado port service tires normally perform at optimal performance between 18 to 36 months after mounting. CTC's guarantee to users was set at 12 months as the minimum performance.

2. The newest reports received from the Middle East in March 2015 demonstrate that all of the presently-running Colorado port service tires in the Middle East have been performing for over 12 months with optimal performance and all the tires' remaining tread depths are more than 85% of the original tread depths. Although the temperature conditions of above 50 degrees Celsius in that region are very critical and challenging for any OTR tires, there are no reports of sidewall or tread damage, nor have performance issues been reported. In accordance with the current tire conditions and tread depths, all the current Colorado port service tires there will reach an actual performance of more than 5 years or 60 months.

In comparison:

1. Most competitors' same size port service tires usually perform from several weeks to several months, including one of the tier 1 brands and all the tier 2 and tier 3 brands. Very few of their tires are able to reach more than 12 months optimal performance on the basis of full time port operations.

2. Considering these facts, same size Colorado port service tires perform from several times to dozens of times longer than most of the competitors' tires.

As one of the three (3) companies in the world to successfully design, develop and deliver the 63'' and 57" super-giant OTR tires to mining companies before 2007, CTC is committed to great service. The most recent reports demonstrate that CTC has not only maintained its leading position in performance-guaranteed OTR tire business, but further established Colorado as one of the "Front 3 Runners" in performance hours among all the OTR tire brands since 2007. Such unmatched performance has aided CTC's realization of its global leading position in developing and supplying performance-guaranteed OTR tires as they honor their commitment to global users.

The Colorado Tire Corporation, the only U.S. company whose corporate building has the marble-sculptured name of U.S. President John F. Kennedy gracing it, is dedicated to continuously improving OTR tire's onsite performance worldwide. Just like JFK, the quality of American craftsmanship and unmatched performance are important. CTC has successfully helped global OTR tire users significantly lower their tires' per-hour cost and/or per-kilometer cost. In addition to all sizes of super-giant Colorado mining tires, the performance of any of the Colorado port service tires from 20" to 49", including both steel radial and nylon bias tires, are guaranteed for users under any kind of using conditions.
