Goodyear has just introduced a manly tire for serious work in the bush and the oil patch and such places. And it looks the part.

Fontaine Trailer has made a real improvement to its Infinity line with an aluminum side rail that claims to add impact-damage resistance while saving weight.

Continental has improved its road-service program, TrukFix, and wants to give away an iPad2  if you can name its mascot in the next couple of weeks.

Solus, a very active trailer aerodynamics outfit, has added wheel-cavity covers to its lineup and says they'll save you 1.5% on your fuel bill

And Sagequest has added a tracking and management app for the iPhone and iPad, having launched an Android version last year.

It's a nicely varied selection this week.
