Watts Tyre Group has launched its latest industrial pneumatic tyre designed for difficult conditions.

Jean-Paul Mindermann, Watts CEO, says the Sherpa is a true contender in the premium sector with a price/quality ratio that will be hard to beat.

"The challenge for us as a tyre producer is to develop products that offer true value and quality to our dealers and users alike."

Mindermann says Watts wanted to find the most demanding environments possible to field test the tyre. "The Sherpa was field tested at one of Europe's busiest airports and at an industrial freight-handling terminus in conditions ranging from broken ground to spill hazards and extreme temperatures.

"All the feedback we received showed Sherpa performing excellently to the point that users wanted us to keep supplying product from the test moulds."
