GREENVILLE, S.C., Aug. 9, 2016MICHELIN Tweel Technologies announced that Value Tire will join the MICHELIN® X® TWEEL® SSL dealer network, expanding dealer coverage and support for the MICHELIN® 12N16.5 X® TWEEL® SSL All Terrain and Hard Surface skid steer airless radial tire in Saskatchewan. Value Tire offers farm, winter and automotive tires as well as a complete range of services, such as repairs, inspection and alignments by 26 trained technicians — including 13 who are TIA-certified.

Value Tire provides professional service to customers with MICHELIN®, BFGoodrich® and UNIROYAL® products that include agricultural, construction, medium truck, winter and passenger/light-truck tires. The third-generation family-owned business operates three commercial/retail locations in Saskatchewan:

  • Saskatoon
  • Regina
  • Yorkton

“Value Tire is a seven-year winner of the Saskatoon Consumer Choice award, and we’re proud to welcome the business into our dealer family,” said Jack Olney, director of sales for Michelin Tweel Technologies. “Continuously serving the Saskatchewan area for 30 years clearly demonstrates the level of quality and service this dealer provides to its customers.”

The X TWEEL SSL is Michelin’s highly advanced airless radial tire designed for skid steer loaders. As the only commercial product available to offer the advantages of no maintenance, no compromise and no downtime — the X TWEEL SSL requires no air, thereby eliminating the risk of a "flat tire."  The X TWEEL SSL also provides industrial, construction, agricultural and landscape users the advantages of no air-pressure maintenance, easy mounting, damage resistance, increased operator comfort, reduced operator fatigue and improved productivity.
