SPRING HILL, TN (April 2, 2025) – Love’s Travel Stops, a leading nationwide travel stop network, is now carrying Ralson RTR51 commercial truck tires, it was announced today.
“This is a very important step in the continued progress of Ralson commercial truck tires in the US,” said Mark Roe, vice president of sales for Ralson Tire North America. “With its extensive number of locations and outstanding reputation in the trucking industry, Love’s provides an ideal servicing network for Ralson.”
With more than 430 maintenance shops, Love’s Truck Care and Speedco combined is the largest over-the-road oil change, preventive maintenance and total truck care nationwide network with more than 1,400 maintenance bays and 1,100 emergency roadside vehicles available for customers. Founded in 1964 and headquartered in Oklahoma City, the company remains family-owned and operated and employs nearly 40,000 people.
“We are proud to partner with Ralson and add more value to our tire offerings,” said Eric Daniels, Love’s vice president of truck care. “Ralson tires, produced in one of the world’s most advanced truck, bus and radial tire (TBR) plants, provide the level of high quality that our customers have come to expect from Love’s.”
The Ralson RTR51, designed for the trailer axle, features full-depth, multi-dimensional sipes to counter irregular wear and rib tearing. Corrugated cooling fins effectively dissipate heat for long tread life, and a chamfered solid shoulder counters lateral forces in high scrub applications. A balanced rib ratio distributes pressure evenly for long tread life.
Global tire manufacturer Ralson, which entered the US market in 2023, has a rapidly expanding distribution footprint in America. The company recently announced the opening of two distribution centers on the East Coast.
Like Love’s, Ralson is a family-owned business. For more than 50 years and four generations, Ralson has been manufacturing high quality tires. The company started its journey in 1974 with the production of 2- and 3-wheel vehicle tires. Today, Ralson supplies tires to more than 70 countries through the committed efforts of 8,000 employees.
