Michelin gives X Ones to Ohio trucker

April 2, 2008

A trucker from New Philadelphia, Ohio, has won four new Michelin X One XDA wide-base medium truck tires via a Michelin North America Inc.-sponsored drawing.

The owner-operator, Chad Rogers, also won Alcoa aluminum rims as part of the sweepstakes, held last week at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky.

"The prize is twofold," says Marc Laferriere, vice president of marketing, Michelin Americas Truck Tires. "In addition to getting a new set of tires and wheels, we expect that Mr. Rogers will also win with increased fuel economy and reduced vehicle weight, which will benefit his bottom line."
