Oliver Adds Ultra-Low Profile Vantage Drive Retread Tire

Oliver Rubber Co. announced that it had launched its ultra-low profile Vantage Drive model, a new SmartWay-verified, wide-base, drive-axle position retread for linehaul and regional commercial truck applications.

The drive position retread expands the portfolio of SmartWay-verified choices in the ULP lineup. The retread features VDI Plus, which helps the tire resist stone retention and other road debris and helps enforce any pull-point schedule. The tire is pressed with Oliver’s proprietary compound and is available in a 390 width, according to the Greenville, S.C.-based company.

“Oliver continues to earn our customers’ trust from 100-plus years of retreading experience that helps them keep their business moving,” Adam Murphy, vice president of marketing for Michelin Americas Truck Tires, said in a statement.

Oliver is owned by Michelin North America Inc.
