The NTDA Tyre Industry Conference has been a success yet again in 2017, and Simon Shorter, Sales Director (OE & End User Sales) for world-leading pneumatics and tyre inflation manufacturer PCL, presented visitors with a compelling argument for accurate tyre pressure:

In his presentation to delegates from the tyre manufacturing, wholesale, retail and associated sectors, Simon explained:
