Titan’s First Radial 63-inch Tire
The Auto Channel reported that Titan International Inc. subsidiary, the Titan Tire Corporation of Bryan, has manufactured the very first enormous radial 63-inch tire model in its Ohio facility. Titan Tire’s commitment in producing giant tires was announced last May 2007.
“This project has been an unbelievable experience for a large group of Titan employees — starting with myself. I know a lot of people think I’m a little different, and that’s fine, but I’m very lucky to have a great team. Titan has some of the best employees in this business and they proved it today by producing this tire in seven months, starting from scratch. A site that used to be a soybean field is now the beginning of a state-of-the-art giant tire facility. In addition to developing this 63-inch tire, Titan has also filed for a patent on the new construction used in this design that will improve tires and lower cost to manufacture,” says Titan Chairman and CEO Maurice M. Taylor Jr.
