Some of the tyre industry's biggest names will return to Road Transport Expo 2025 (RTX) this summer, with Bridgestone, Goodyear, Michelin Connected Fleet, and Hankook Tyre UK all confirmed as exhibitors. Their presence points to the growing importance of the event as a platform for showcasing tyre innovation and fleet-focused solutions.
Running from 4–6 June 2025 at NAEC Stoneleigh, RTX continues to attract attention across the commercial vehicle sector. For tyre manufacturers, the show offers an opportunity to engage directly with operators, fleet managers, and industry buyers at a time when data, sustainability, and cost-efficiency are driving tyre purchasing decisions.

Bridgestone will return to the showground with a focus on its Total Tyre Care programme, underlining its push towards supporting fleets with cost control and proactive maintenance strategies. The company’s presence at RTX will include demonstrations of its Webfleet telematics solution, recently enhanced with new tyre pressure monitoring capabilities.
According to Bridgestone’s UK team, the expo provides a "rare opportunity" to speak with operators face-to-face and understand the challenges they’re facing on the road.

Goodyear is set to showcase its fleet mobility and intelligent tyre technologies, including digital inspection tools and predictive analytics platforms. With commercial fleets increasingly leaning on data to drive down downtime and fuel usage, Goodyear will use RTX to demonstrate how its solutions support safer, more efficient operations.
The company will focus on how its connected tyre systems and tyre-as-a-service offering can support performance gains across fleet sectors.

Michelin’s Connected Fleet division will exhibit with a suite of fleet management solutions aimed at improving driver behaviour, fuel efficiency, and vehicle uptime. The business unit uses a combination of telematics and data analytics to offer insights into fleet tyre use and wear.
At RTX, Michelin will target operators interested in linking tyre performance to broader fleet strategies — a growing focus for cost-conscious transport companies.
