Goodyear Launches New Long-Wearing Kelly Regional Tire
AKRON, OHIO – The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has introduced a new Kelly Armorsteel
KRH regional tire for pickup and delivery and school buses. Available through
Kelly dealers and truck stops, the new rib tire was developed for uniform and
long-lasting wear in regional applications. Available in 11R22.5 and 11R 24.5
sizes in an H load rating, the tire has an enhanced belt package for multiple
retreads. The 295.75R22.5 size will be available in mid-June.
Bruce
Woodruff, marketing manager for regional and light-truck commercial tires, said
the Armorsteel KRH tread pattern provides superb traction on wet and dry roads,
as circumferential grooves and lateral blading help displace water from under
the tire, allowing for confident driving in wet conditions.
Special
tread compounding helps the tire resist “tread scrubbing and curbing in tight
turns,” Woodruff said.
