Glorious Mud for Team CAM Pain
Michelin X Multiway 3D Drive Tyres Go the Distance for Olivers Transport
It was a case of ‘Mud, mud, glorious mud’ for a team of intrepid runners from CAM on Saturday, 26 September.
The four took part in the Devil Mud Run in Cheltenham, overcoming the arduous, eight kilometre course across open, rugged, muddy countryside featuring 31 obstacles to raise £800 for the company’s three chosen charities: The Galley in Gloucester, Ruskin Mill College near Stroud and Dursley Youth Rugby.
The challenge required plenty of grit and determination to complete
the course as well as physical and mental strength. Ryan Naughton, general manager of CAM said, “The team’s skill and stamina were well and truly put to the test. To complete the course they had to jump, climb, wade, crawl, slide, conquer hellish hills, stinking swamps and survive the Devil’s Playground! But it was great fun and well worth it to raise money for our nominated causes.”
Eccles-based haulier Olivers Transport has hit a new record-high mileage of 362,689km on a set of Michelin X MultiWay 3D XDE drive tyres in its fleet, and lauds the X MultiWay 3D-series as Michelin’s best regional tyre yet.
The four 295/80 R 22.5 X MultiWay 3D XDE tyres, which had been regrooved, were removed from a DAF 6x2 tractor unit used regularly on a return trip from the company’s Scotland base to Birmingham. “It’s never in the yard, and never travelling empty – and that says something for the extraordinary runout figures,” says Olivers Transport Fleet
Engineer Kevin
Hawker.
Hawker explains: “The
DAF tractor pulls a
double-deck
curtainsider trailer to
Birmingham and back, double-manned, and
when we removed the
tyre set during routine
brake maintenance
there was still 3mm
usable tread on them, which would have been good for another 5,000- 6,000km.
“Those are remarkable numbers for a set of drive tyres, particularly considering that when you leave our Scotland base you have to drive an hour to reach a motorway – so the tyres are dealing with all kinds of roads.”
A family-owned business, Olivers Transport runs a fleet of 30 trucks and 45 trailers, which operate throughout the UK. The haulier has specified Michelin as its preferred tyre brand for more than 25 years.
