Accu-Flange wheels feature a special protective treatment applied to the surfaces of the wheel fl ange most prone to wear. Accuride says the treatment bonds to the aluminum substrate, forming a tough barrier that reduces abrasion between the tire wall and wheel rim. Accuride is making Accu-Flange available for many of its popular aluminum wheels; ranging from its 19.5 x 7.5 in. 40160 to the 24.5 x 8.25-in. 40550 models.

Originally designed for lifting 22.5 in. and 24.5 in. mounted tires, Kiene says its Tire Lifter also can be used for lifting extremely heavy 455 tires. With its industrial strength frame, Kiene Diesel says the Tire Lifter makes lifting a 455 tire a one- man operation. When not in use, the company says the Tire Lifer folds into a compact 49 in. package that can hang on a wall. Kiene Diesel, Text INFO to 205-289-3544 or visit www.tpsdigital.com/info
