Kirkby Tyres to showcase Sailun TBR range and launch nationwide fleet service at RTX

As commercial fleets continue to face increasing pressure to reduce operating costs, improve efficiency and meet sustainability targets, Kirkby Tyres will be returning to Road Transport Expo 2026 to showcase how Sailun’s latest truck tyre technology is helping operators meet these challenges head on.

Visitors to the stand will be able to explore an extensive range of Sailun tyres, including the latest EcoPoint3 products and recently expanded Gen-1 and Gen-2 TBR ranges.

A sample selection of 13 tyres from Sailun’s TBR portfolio will be on display including two of the most recently introduced products to the UK market: the Ecomax Pro Series and the Terra Pro Series.

“Whilst both these new products have been designed to deliver improved performance and reduce overall operating costs for fleets, they are aimed at two clearly different vehicle applications,” said Kirkby Tyres.

“The Ecomax Pro Series boasts Sailun’s new EcoPoint3 compound technology and offers A-rated rolling resistance in the key road haulage sizes, 315/70R22.5, 315/80R22.5 and 385/65R22.5. This product is ideal for fleets looking to improve fuel efficiency operating primarily on highways. Utilising its ground-breaking EcoPoint3 compound, Sailun continues to improve product efficiency and performance without sacrificing durability.

“The Terra Pro Series is aimed specifically at mixed service applications, providing an ideal solution for fleets seeking a robust tyre without compromising mileage performance. Offering high damage resistance due to its reinforced tread compound, this new product is also designed to control heat generation, further improving tyre life. The Terra Pro Series delivers enhanced traction on loose or uneven surfaces with self-cleaning properties that effectively help to reduce vehicle downtime.”

This year, in addition to showcasing Sailun’s latest TBR tyre range, the company’s larger 11m x 10m stand will also mark the launch of Kirkby Tyres Assist.

“As the Sailun brand continues to grow rapidly in the UK, the timing is ideal to introduce this exciting addition to the Kirkby offering. Designed to support customers 24/7, 365 days a year, Kirkby Tyres Assist provides a comprehensive range of nationwide fleet services and has been developed with both fleet operators and service providers in mind.

“Kirkby Tyres Assist represents an important development for Sailun in the UK. To support existing customers while creating new opportunities in an increasingly competitive market, it is essential to have the infrastructure and capability in place to deliver a consistent, reliable service. Delivering quality, compliance and value for money has become synonymous with the Sailun brand, and Kirkby Tyres Assist has been designed to complement those strengths through a dedicated nationwide fleet service.

“Whether it is emergency roadside assistance or a tailored tyre management solution, fleet operators and service providers can now benefit from the confidence of knowing that Sailun tyres and support services are available across the UK, precisely when and where they are needed.”

Show visitors can find more information about the Sailun TBR range and discuss specific fleet requirements, including how Kirkby Tyres Assist can support operations, by visiting the Kirkby Tyres stand (G59). The team will be on hand throughout the show to answer questions and provide expert advice.
