Vacu-Lug appointed UK distributor for West Lake tyres

Tyres & Retreads
Vacu-Lug has been chosen as the sole UK distributor for West Lake TBR (truck and bus radial) tyres, in a development that sees nine new product lines added to its range.
Spanning a variety of operation types and with a choice of 17.5in, 19.5in and 22.5in rim diameters, West Lake tyres are suitable for drive and steer axles for light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles. "We are delighted to add West Lake to our growing range of tyres and associated tyre fleet management services," comments Vacu-Lug managing director Tim Hercock. "West Lake manufactures a quality product to the highest environmental standards and, as such, we are delighted to offer this highly cost-effective brand to the UK's transport operators." West Lake was one of the first global manufacturers to produce an entirely aromatic-free range of tyres – meaning all its tyres are REACH (registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of chemicals) compliant. The REACH Directive EC/1907-2006 identifies and defines chemicals of concern contained in products for use in the European Union.
