Bandag Offers New Tread Design

Bandag announced today it is now offering BDY2ä, Bandag Drive Severe Service 2, in the North American market. Working with Canadian fleets, Bandag specifically engineered this retread tire design for severe service conditions where superior traction is required from a drive position tyre.

“We understand that keeping fleets up and running on time is critical to the oil field and logging industries. BDY2Ä is a next-generation design offering more aggressive traction than its predecessor,” says Chris Hoffman, product manager of global tyre products for Bandag. “Our retread tyre design complements the new Bridgestone M775 on/off highway radial tyres and has rapidly been put into use by fleets in both Canada and the western United States.”

The Bandag BDY2Ä 32/32nd features an extra deep block and open shoulders to meet these fleets’ need for aggressive traction. It is available in tyre sizes 210mm, 220mm and 230mm. (Tire Review/Akron)
