Eurotire Celebrates Record-Setting Tire Performance, Success of EuroCare Service
Program
Eurotire marks a record 86,216 km in tire
life at Russian mining site and celebrates
the success of its comprehensive EuroCare
program of tire inspections and
maintenance.
Kemerovo, Russia—Sept. 2013—Known
the world over as a leading manufacturer of
off-the-road tires for the mining industry,
Eurotire Inc. recently set a record for tire
quality and durability at the Orenburg
Minerals site in Yasny, Russia. The tires’
record performance is a credit to Eurotire’s
innovative EuroCare tire service program
and the dedication of Orenmin
management and the mine site’s truck crew.
Eurotire awarded prizes and certificates in honor of the milestone.
The record-setting off-the-road (OTR) tires, Eurotire 27.00R49 tires that were manufactured at the state of
the art Eurotire All Steel Radial Plant in Romania, marked an amazing 86,216 km (53,454 miles) in tire
life. This distance translates to more than 7,000 hours of heavy use at the expansive Yasny chrysotile
mining site. The tires were maintained in accordance with the exacting standards of the Eurotire
EuroCare service program.
“The Orenmin milestone is proof of what our EuroCare mining tire maintenance program can accomplish,”
said Helen Ratnikova, Eurotire marketing and training manager. “Regular monitoring, routine inspections
and close communication with our trained Eurotire technicians can ensure any one of our tires will provide
top OTR tire performance. We are extremely pleased with these results.”
In celebration of the achievement, Eurotire recently held a special event at the Yasny mine. A group of
Eurotire representatives visited the site to congratulate the Orenmin engineering and management teams.
They delivered prizes, gifts and commemorative plaques demonstrating Eurotire’s appreciation for the
mining team and their outstanding participation in the EuroCare service program.
Eurotire developed the EuroCare service program to provide valued customers such as Orenmin with the
safe and dependable tires they demand. The unique EuroCare program tracks the entire life cycle of a
tire, following it from the moment it leaves the factory to ensure that it is maintained, serviced and used to
its full potential.
