Bridgestone Commercial Solutions announced the launch of the Bridgestone R244 All-Position Steer Radial Tire. The new tire meets the demands of dump trucks and concrete mixer truck fleets which spend a higher percentage of their miles in on-highway use. Designed with a wide base ribbed steer pattern, the tire performs well both on- and off-highway without sacrificing the traction needed on rougher roads.
“Most dump and concrete trucks spend more time on interstate highways where irregular wear and ride are more important, than off-highway construction sites,” said Bert Jones, manager, product marketing, TBR, Retread and OTR, Bridgestone Commercial Solutions. “Many of our customers, especially in the southwest, expressed an interest in a tire that offered longer wear, a smoother on-highway ride and that performed well on sandy sites. The R244 was designed for them.”
