Goodyear Launches New Regional Haul Range
A new range of tyres for regional haul trucks with 17.5 and 19.5 inch wheels has been unveiled by Goodyear. The Goodyear Regional RHS II (Regional Haul Steer) and Regional RHD II (Regional Haul Drive) tyres are intended to cover a wide spectrum of applications and are suitable for all seasons use. In comparison with the products they replace, says Goodyear, the new tyres, which feature the company’s KMax Technology, offer greater mileage, improved traction and braking in wet and dry conditions as well as good handling and stability. KMax Technology, explains Goodyear, is designed for tyres fitted to vehicles operating in frequent stop-start traffic conditions, with high lateral forces on twisty roads and roundabouts, higher powered engines and an increasing use of retarders.
