Provides real-time wheel-end temperature visibility
Pressure Systems International (P.S.I.) Digital ThermALERT
sensor offers real-time wheel-end temperature visibility through a
telematics portal, providing the same elevated wheel-end temperature
alerts found in the standard ThermALERT program. The Digital
ThermALERT sensor, located inside the spindle end at the wheel
bearing, works with P.S.I.'s TireView LIVE portal or an integrated
telematics system to display normal wheel-end operating temperatures
and analyze wheel-end history. Alert activation levels
can then be customized depending on the equipment and personal preference. The
sensor includes a replaceable battery with a conductor wire that is fed through the
axle end and attached to a P.S.I. spindle plug for operation.

Features low-rolling resistance
Michelin's X Line Energy Z+ tire is the latest entry in the company's X Line
Energy Z long-haul product line and features enhanced durability and traction.
Utilizing both Infinicoil and Regenion sculpture technology, the tire has a quartermile-long
continuous steel wire wrapped around its circumference and an evolving
tread design that correlates to its wear. The tread design itself is 18/32 " deep
and the tire will be offered in 295/75R22.5 LRH, with the X Line Energy Z+ launching
in the third quarter of 2023.

Indicates and retains against unwanted wheel nut movement
The Checklink Wheel Nut Indicator and Retainer from Martins
Industries is a dual-purpose wheel nut indicator and retainer. The
Checklink both indicates and retains against unwanted wheel nut movement
as well as indicates any overheating of wheels caused by faulty brakes or
bearings, as it will melt at specific temperatures (257 degrees F). Connecting two
adjacent wheel nuts with the Checklink's distinctive 'S' shape provides a retaining function, causing resistance to
the loosening of wheel nuts. If the wheel nut still manages to loosen, this will be indicated by the distortion of the
'S' shape. Made of high-grade virgin polymer to ensure product quality and performance reliability for overheating
indication. Available in bags of 50pcs; multiple colors and sizes available.

Ideal for drop-deck and heavy-haul
trailer applications
The 121T Regional Trailer Tire from Yokohama Tire
is specifically engineered for trailer use only. The 121T
is severe snow service-rated in all weather conditions
and is offered in sizes 215/75R17.5 and 235/75R17.5.
Its tread pattern and rigid shoulder design are ideal
for use in drop-deck and heavy-haul trailer applications.
The three-groove tread pattern assures reduced
rolling resistance and pattern noise for a quiet, fuelefficient
ride. Serpentine grooves remove water from
beneath the tread and maximize traction on wet and
snowy roads. Concave lug features provide additional
traction under wet or slippery conditions. The ridged
shoulder design reduces the chances for shoulder
step-down wear and improves straight line stability.
The funnel-shaped step grooves prevent stones and
debris from reaching the bottom of the groove where
casing damage occurs.

Gives techs a more hands-on approach
The Maverick Tire Changer from Hunter Engineering is a center
-clamp tire changer that shares many features with Hunter's standard-setting
Revolution tire changer, but gives technicians a more
hands-on approach and freedom to adapt the process to their own
precise needs. With its four-joystick layout, the Maverick provides
tactile feedback with one-handed control. Its leverless head utilizes
a Revolution-style tool and hook mechanism for maximum wheel
protection while automatically articulating to maintain ideal wheel
alignment. A lifting ledge in the pusher saves additional time and
effort. Additionally, it features HunterNet 2 connectivity, a compact
size, and hydraulic cylinders that deliver force and precision over air
cylinders.

Ultra-wide base tire
The Greatec M703 Ecopia base tire from Bridgestone Americas is an ultrawide
base tire geared toward long-haul fleets. The tire replaces the Greatec
M835A Ecopia with a high-density tread pattern and a long-wearing compound.

wear mileage than its predecessor, the company stated, and long-lasting, biting
edges and a tread depth of 22/32nds for increased traction. The tire's casing

The Doran 360HD Tire Monitoring System, No.
DORAN-360HD6, from Doran Manufacturing, is
designed for commercial trucks, trucks only, and
truck-trailer combinations. Including a mounted
display for in-the-cab tire monitoring, the system
receives tire pressure and temperature data via radio
frequency, which it then transmits from wireless
sensors mounted instead of valve stem caps on each
tire. Requiring 12/24 VDC for operation, the display
features a digital LCD screen with a backlit display
and audible and visual alarms which will display the
specific tire locations with updated data. The sensors
are set in a nylon housing and are powered with
lithium-ion batteries with a design life of five years.
Additionally, the system includes a remote antenna kit
that can attach to the monitor and mount to the tractor's
cross member for guaranteed reliable reception.
