New Goodyear Regional Tires Boost Mileage & Performance
AKRON, OHIO – The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has bolstered its regional truck-tire
product portfolio with two new tires for two very different applications. The
company is introducing the Unisteel G149 RSA RH tire for on-highway regional
service and the Unisteel G150 HSA for school bus and city or neighborhood
driving.
The tread
pattern for the G149 RSA RH is “tuned” for longer wear on urban streets and
highway driving, while the G150 HSA uses special compounds for high-scrub
applications used on school buses and in local pickup and delivery service. The
G150 HSA also features sidewall protector ribs that help resist sidewall damage
from the sharp turns and curbs encountered in neighborhood driving.
Both
all-position tires, available in 11R22.5 sizes in G and H load ratings, feature
circumferential grooves and lateral blades that help displace water for
confident driving on rain-soaked roads. Also, the tread footprint was modified
for enhanced wear evenness and to help lower overall cost-per-mile.
The
Unisteel casing features four full belts to help stiffen and support the tread,
further resisting irregular wear. An enhanced belt compound helps tear
resistance.
