FROM our recently expanded Liverpool headquarters , with over 250,000 square feet of covered warehousing , we offer a next-day nationwide delivery service to our trade partners , making over 40,000 deliveries per year . We are the go-to distributor for off-highway tyre and wheel solutions in the UK .
We are happy to confirm our attendance at the upcoming LAMMA 2022 exhibition ( 11-12th January , NEC ). We will be exhibiting from a 225 SQM dedicated space in Hall 9 ( stand 9.210 ) and will be showcasing our exclusive and main agricultural brands covering Alliance , BKT , MRL and Pirelli .
Now part of the Yokohama Off Highway Tyre ( YOHT ) Group , Alliance have always been a global leader in flotation radial tyres . We will be showcasing the new 560 / 60R22.5 590 169D HD STEEL BELTED TL – a heavy duty radial flotation tyre for agricultural trailers , agricultural dump trailers and slurry tankers , with an updated pattern , industry leading performance ( highest Load Speed Index available ) and a 10-year warranty ( longest in the market ).

As the main importer and distributor of BKT tyres , visitors to our stand will be able to view a selection of flagship AGRIMAX V-FLECTO VF ( Very High Flexion ) tyres produced by BKT . Designed for high-powered tractors and high-speed rated ( D ) for 65 km / h capability , V-FLECTO are manufactured with NRO ( narrow rim option ) which negates the need to change rims when upgrading from non-VF tyres . Also on display will be the VF 560 / 60R22.5 BKT V-FLEXA 166D TL . A VF radial flotation tyre developed in response to the demands for low pressure agricultural flotation tyres used on agricultural trailers and tankers . This tyre works with lower pressures , increasing the footprint thereby reducing soil compaction and increasing yields . A lower rolling resistance also results in better fuel economy .
Pirelli
MRL represents our value range of agricultural tyres , including bias and radial tractor fitments for agricultural implements . On display at LAMMA will be the radial flotation size 560 / 60R22.5 165D / 162E TL in the popular FLR 333 pattern , suitable for road-going application . This tyre is steel belted for extra puncture resistance and added strength to the carcass . For those customers looking for a value proposition without sacrificing quality we have available the hugely popular 800 / 65R32 MRL MEGA SOL RRT650 181A8 / 178B TL for
BKT – V-Flecto
RRT 650
single axle slurry tankers and the 750 / 70R26 MEGA SOL RRT650 172A8 / B TL for similar application ( the latter to be on display at LAMMA 2022 ). A modern tread design provides these tyres with great self-cleaning abilities whilst in the field .
We have been the exclusive UK and Ireland importer of Pirelli branded agricultural tyres since the return of the Pirelli agricultural brand since 2017 . Pirelli agricultural tyres represent our premium offering – part of the stable of products from the Promoteon Group . We have experienced good traction in the market and have introduced a growing number of sizes .
