Some of Hankook Tire‘s truck and bus radial (TBR) products are now available at Love’s Travel Stops, including their Speedco and on-site Love’s Truck Tire Care locations across the country. Love’s has more than 350 truck service centers, which includes on-site and stand-alone Speedco and Love’s Truck Tire Care locations, and Hankook tires are now available at all locations.

Designed to reduce fuel and increase total mileage, the e3 Max AL21, e3 Max DL21, and e3 Max TL21 TBR tires will be available at Love’s, offering the full breadth of fleet services—steer, drive and trailer tires. Designed through Hankook Tire’s Smartec manufacturing process, each of these tires focus on the main performance factors of safety, mileage, anti-chip and cut, retreadability and traction, Hankook says.

As part of the partnership, Hankook and Love’s are offering savings up to $110 on a set of two Hankook steer tires and up to $240 on a set of eight Hankook drive and trailer tires. A purchase of the two Hankook steer tires also includes a tire balance.

Class 8 orders strong in February

Even when seasonally adjusted, ACT says preliminary order numbers for February are up 5% over January.

ACT-Class-8-Feb-truck-orders

According to the latest numbers from ACT Research, preliminary North America Class 8 net orders were 27,700 units, up 600 units from January and 16% from a year ago. With the fourth-largest seasonal factor of the year at 8%, seasonal adjustment reduces February’s Class 8 intake to 25,600 units, up 5% from January.

“Weak freight and carrier profitability fundamentals, and large carriers guiding to lower capex in 2024, would imply pressure in U.S. tractor, the North American Class 8 market’s largest segment,” said Kenny Vieth, ACT’s president and senior analyst. “While we do not yet have the underlying detail for February order volumes, Class 8 demand continuing at high levels again this month suggests that U.S. buyers continue as strong market participants.”
