Vacu-Lug returns to the CV Show with a selection of premium tyres Vacu-Lug, the Grantham-based commercial tyre retreading specialist and fleet management solutions provider, introduced a number of new ‘retread’ tyres at this year’s CV Show and reports a “very encouraging” response from new and existing customers alike. A total of 12 tyres, including drive, trailer and steer, were on display, including a number from Vacu-Lug’s tyre partner Westlake. These suit a cross section of commercial transport applications, including heavy and light truck, waste management and construction. From Vacu-Lug’s own premium retread range was the Logistik drive LD01 and Logistik Supersingle trailer LT01. Also from the Vacu- Lug retread stable was a selection of Duramold tyres designed for a cross-section of heavy and light truck commercial operations. “This was our first time at the CV Show for over 10 years” says Vacu-Lug’s Sales Director, Dave Alsop “and we were delighted to take this opportunity to display a selection of our commercial vehicle tyre range to the industry. To say we were pleased is an understatement. Clearly, there is still a strong demand for premium retread tyres in the HGV sector, as it would appear that some of the very cheap imports are not proving to be as cost- effective as expected.”

Vacu-Lug returns to the CV Show with a selection of premium tyres
Vacu-Lug, the Grantham-based commercial tyre retreading specialist and fleet management solutions provider, introduced a number of new ‘retread’ tyres at this year’s CV Show and reports a “very encouraging” response from new and existing customers alike.
A total of 12 tyres, including drive, trailer and steer, were on display, including a number from Vacu-Lug’s tyre partner Westlake. These suit a cross section of commercial transport applications, including heavy and light truck, waste management and construction.
From Vacu-Lug’s own premium retread range was the Logistik drive LD01 and Logistik Supersingle trailer LT01. Also from the Vacu-Lug retread stable was a selection of Duramold tyres designed for a cross-section of heavy and light truck commercial operations.
“This was our first time at the CV Show for over 10 years” says Vacu-Lug’s Sales Director, Dave Alsop “and we were delighted to take this opportunity to display a selection of our commercial vehicle tyre range to the industry. To say we were pleased is an understatement. Clearly, there is still a strong demand for premium retread tyres in the HGV sector, as it would appear that some of the very cheap imports are not proving to be as cost-effective as expected.”
