The service is designed to offer operators a "cradle-tograve" tyre service, from

Encore will be available through a number of selected service providers, including ATS, but all tyres will be retreaded at Michelin's new multi-millionpound site in Stokeon-Trent.
A limited range of Encore tyres are already available following the scheme's launch last week. They include an urban tyre, three on/off-road tyres and four medium-distance options.
