In 2025 Gregory Distribution commissioned Dynamon to support a tyre trial across its UK operation, evaluating tyres from several leading manufacturers. The analysis used the fleet’s real operating data, taking account of the different demands each operation places on a tyre. Dynamon carried out the work in Tyre Analytics and reported in 2026.

Key outcomes
- 2025–26 marked the trial on Gregory Distribution’s UK operation, commissioned in 2025 and reported in 2026.
- Operation type was how the tractors and trailers were split, including general haulage, milk collection, pallet delivery, and timber and bulk work.
- Independent evidence gave Gregory Distribution a data-led basis for choosing tyres by operation type, rather than relying on manufacturer claims.
The challenge
Gregory Distribution’s tractors and trailers cover more than one kind of work. General haulage, milk collection, pallet delivery, and timber and bulk work each place different demands on tyres, so the fleet was split before the tyres were assessed. Manufacturer claims do not describe this fleet’s own operation and cannot stand in for its operating data. In 2025 the company commissioned Dynamon to support a trial of tyres from several leading manufacturers, set against the fleet’s real operating data. The analysis was reported in 2026.
The fleet
Gregory Distribution is part of the Gregory Group. It is a logistics company that originated in North Tawton, Devon, and now provides logistics services across the UK. Its services include transport and distribution, milk collection and pallet networks, for customers in retail and dairy and in specialist sectors such as forestry and energy. The vehicles in this study are the tractors and trailers used across those operations.
The approach
Dynamon mapped the vehicle and tyre configuration of the tractors and trailers, split the fleet by operation type, and gathered each manufacturer’s tyre specifications.
Tyre Analytics models the energy each vehicle uses second by second — aerodynamic drag, tyre rolling resistance, acceleration, hill climbing, and engine and auxiliary losses — from telematics, vehicle configuration and tyre fitment data. That lets it predict how a change of tyre policy would affect fuel consumption and total cost in the fleet’s own operation.
What the analysis showed
Dynamon analysed tyre performance against Gregory Distribution’s real operating data, and reported in 2026. Each manufacturer’s tyre specifications were set against that operating data. Because the fleet had been split by operation type, the analysis followed the duty each group of vehicles runs, including general haulage, milk collection, pallet delivery, and timber and bulk work. Gregory gained an independent, data-led basis for choosing tyres by operation type, rather than relying on manufacturer claims.
