Love's to Sell Double Coin Tires

Will be available for sale at each facility equipped to handle tires, service

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores has entered into an agreement with China Manufacturers Alliance LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Double Coin Holdings Ltd., to offer the Double Coin brand radial truck tire. These tires will be available for sale at each of its facilities equipped to handle tires and service.

"We are extremely excited about working with Love's in bringing the value of the Double Coin radial truck to their fleet and owner operator customers", said Walt Weller, vice president of strategic accounts and OEM's. "We believe it is the perfect complement [image-nocss] to their existing offering and will become an important part of their tire program especially in these very challenging economic times when fleets and owner operators are all looking at every part of their business for savings. The value that the Double Coin tire offers is that fleets and owner operators can purchase the tire economically without sacrificing quality and performance."

Dan Jensen, director of tire sales and service for Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores, said, "We are very pleased to have Double Coin tires as part of our tire program to fleets and owner operators. They make a great tire at a great price with a very impressive warranty that is sure to satisfy any fleet or owner operator looking for excellent value. We look forward to a long and mutually rewarding partnership."

Double Coin brand truck tires will be rolled out to the Love's locations as they add tire and service capability. Love's goal is to have 30 tire and service shops opened at their travel center locations by the end of 2008 and 100 by the end of 2009.

The tires are supplied by China Manufacturers Alliance LLC, based in Monrovia, Calif., a subsidiary of Double Coin Holdings Ltd. Double Coin products include truck and bus radial and radial off-the-road tires that both enjoy OEM fitments at major North American truck and construction equipment manufacturers.

Family-owned and -operated Love 's Travel Stops & Country Stores is headquartered in Oklahoma City. It has more than 200 locations in more than 30 states.
