5 TIRES FOR 500 TREES
After fitting a new set of Coopertire Discoverer ST MAXX, Alveto Expedition run a fundraising event in support of Try to Give Back and placed for sale their part worn set of 5 Coopertire Discoverer AT3 4S aiming to raise enough money to be able to plant 500 trees.
The part worn set of tires was sold to Mr. Pelanconi Graziano that, despite having agreed to the sale price of 195 euros , kindly offered 250 euros knowing the funds would be used for charitable actions. Thanks to the Collaboration of Pneuservice – a tire shop of Milan that stored for few weeks and fitted the tires free of charge, Try to Give Back could use the full amount to plant not 500 trees but 1175 trees in Africa; also, we had left 100gbp from the original 250 euros and this was donated to Sea Sheperds UK for the incredible work they are doing to protect the oceans and the marine species.
