UK online retailer praises Bridgestone's runflat tyres
ERJ staff report (DS)
London -- Blackcircles.com, one of the UK's top online tyre retailers, said Bridgestone's latest runflat tyres mark a step in the right direction for motorists. Bridgestone recently announced the development of new technology marking the third generation of their run-flat tyres.
Mike Welsh, MD of Blackcircles.com, stated "Run flat tyres take a lot more rubber to produce, not to mention the additional research and development the manufacturers have invested in to produce the tyre in the first place - this all results in added cost. "
Blackcircles.com also has trading sites in Europe including Pneus En Ligne in France, Pneumatici-Tutte in Italy, and Auto Banden Shop in the Netherlands and these are said to contribute about 10% of overall sales.
