Bridgestone Americas Extends Duravis Line-Up

The Bridgestone Duravis heavy-duty light truck commercial tyre range, originally introduced onto the North American market in 2007, is being extended through the introduction of the Duravis M895. Key features on this new all-season tyre are steel reinforced sidewalls and an on/off road capability.

Like the Duravis R250, the design features of the Duravis M895 includes a reinforced steel casing for long life and retreadability, and other enhanced technologies for optimum performance. Bridgestone says the closed shoulder of the Duravis M895 contributes to improved wear and the tyre’s stone rejecter design offers enhanced casing durability. To further reinforce the overall performance of the Duravis M895, the tyre features a dual sidewall protector to help resist cuts and scrapes. Its heavy-duty construction helps protect the tyre in the most challenging applications and environments, Bridgestone notes.

The Duravis M895 is available in four 16-inch load range E sizes and accommodates a wide range of vehicle fitments and is applicable in steer and drive positions.

“Since we introduced this product to the marketplace, the Duravis tyre line has earned a reputation for durability, endurance and strength, and has delivered all of that to our customers,” said Phil Pacsi, vice president, Consumer Tire Marketing, Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations. “The Duravis M895 continues to reflect the capabilities people have come to expect from the Duravis family, while also providing the versatility of all-season capability and retreadability.”
