The tire that rolled off the production line was a Ridge Grappler for light trucks, sold under the Nitto brand, in size 35 x 12.50 R20 LT 125Q 12PR.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">TNA is currently in the fifth stage of a production capacity expansion. New equipment that will come online in April will boost the factory\u2019s annual capacity by 1.2 million tires (converted for passenger vehicle tires).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">TNA began operations in December 2005. Tires are built there using the company\u2019s high-quality, highly automated system badged ATOM (Advanced Tire Operation Module). This consists mainly of large diameter tires for light trucks, large pickup trucks and SUVs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The tire manufacturer has gradually expanded TNA\u2019s production capacity in order to meet the increased demand for tires for light trucks in the North American market.
