Special winter promotion offers free limited edition Memory Stick with any two Michelin tyres purchased

Tiger Wheel & Tyre has geared up for winter with an exciting new promotion on all of its Michelin tyres! Running from the 16th June until 18th July 2009, customers will receive a free 1Gb limited edition Michelin Man memory stick with the purchase of any two Michelin tyres.

"Adding value for our customers isn’t just about providing excellent service and fitment convenience, it also means meeting customers’ changing needs. In today’s information age what better way to add value than to provide our customers with a unique Michelin Man memory stick that has the capacity to store hundreds of photos, songs and business data" says Joe du Plooy, Marketing Executive of Tiger Wheel & Tyre.

Clad with a neck lanyard – for added convenience - the 1Gb Michelin Man memory stick is not only a practical data tool but it also carries with it the distinction of a limited edition item, making for a timeless Michelin collectable.

“Hankook is well known for its quality performance tyres, superior look, design and technical abilities in wet and dry conditions,” says Joe Du Plooy, Marketing Executive at Tiger Wheel & Tyre. “As the 7th top tyre brand, rated globally as per sales revenue, Hankook continues to uphold its reputation as a quality tyre. Our customers have come to know that when we put our name behind a tyre, its right - and Hankook is certainly no exception to our line of trusted treads.” adds Joe.

Furthering its commitment to the brand, Tiger Wheel & Tyre has appointed Ashley Cooper as the local Hankook Brand Manager. Ashley brings with him a wealth of experience in the tyre industry, totalling 19 years to date, and is looking forward to growing the Hankook brand in Southern Africa.

“Hankook currently offers a wide range of passenger, high performance radial, light truck and 4x4 tyres, literally a tyre for every car on South African roads,” states Ashley. “Selling in more than 185 countries globally, I am looking forward to presenting the Hankook brand to the local public, and bringing them the quality driving experience they can expect from a company that invests heavily into research and development with five R&D facilities around the world,” he adds.

The brand is world-class, and industry reviewers around the world have commented positively on the value, quality and peak performance of the Hankook tyre range, which has clinched high marks from 6 respected trade magazines in the first half of 2009 alone. That said the company has further cemented its leading position, having reported record sales revenues in 2008, amidst a motoring industry hard hit by the current economic climate.

Tiger Wheel & Tyre is very proud to be adding this latest offering of leading tyre brand to their already extensive range of top tyres. As a customer, you can still be assured that wherever you’re going, whatever you drive and no matter your style, the Tiger Wheel & Tyre team will always have the right fit for you.
