Omni United sells products for passenger car, SUV, trailer, winter and commercial tires under the following main brand names:

• Radar Tires
• Timberland Tires

Timberland Tires

Timberland Tires was born out of a collaboration between tire designer and manufacturer Omni United and global lifestyle brand Timberland.^[9] The tires feature a rubber formulation that is appropriate for the recycling of the tires at the end of their useful life into outsoles for Timberland shoes, rather than alternatives such as being used as tire-derived fuel, being exported to countries where new tires are unaffordable for many or ending up in landfills.^[10]

In May 2016, Timberland Tires won the WGSN Futures award in the category of Sustainable Design. Timberland Tires were also finalists of the 2016 Guardian Awards and also shortlisted as one of the finalists for the Institute for Scrap Recycling Industries 2016 Design for Recycling Award.

Commitment to Sustainability

President, CEO & Founder G.S. Sareen is highly committed to sustainable business practices. His Radar Tires' branded products were declared Carbon Neutral in October 2013, after a two-year project with Ernst & Young to study the brands global carbon emissions.^[14]

With the November 2014 launch of the Timberland Tires brand, Omni United announced a take back and recycling program to convert worn Timberland Tires into new outsoles of Timberland footwear. Liberty Tire Recycling will collect worn Timberland Tires after they have been changed out at authorized Timberland locations and sort the tires at its consolidation centers.^[15] From there, the used tires will be shipped to a North American tire recycling facility where they will be recycled into crumb rubber and further processed into sheet rubber for use in Timberland® footwear. The rubber will be mixed into an approved compound for outsoles that will ultimately be incorporated into Timberland® boots and shoes.^[16]

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation - Corporate Partnership

Since 2011, Radar Tires has supported The Breast Cancer Research Foundation with the Radar Tires [Omni United] Award.^[17][18] The same year, the company released a "Ring of Hope" tire, a limited edition pink-walled version of its Radar RPX 900 .^[19]

The company has since donated over $1 million USD to the cause (2018: $1,158,800) and funded 23,176 hours of research. Money has gone to support the research of Jack Cuzick, PhD, John Forbes, MB BS; FRACS, AM and Richard R. Love, MD, MS. The most recent Radar Tires [Omni United] award went to Dr. John Forbes and Dr. Jack Cuzick for their research to identify risks for individual women, who have a very high or very low chance of getting breast cancer based on testing of molecular markers.^[20]
