GT Radial to make show debut at Euro Bus Expo
GT Radial will make its show debut at Euro Bus Expo 2014, with the GSR225 Combi Road and GAU861 all-position urban city-bus tyres heading a comprehensive passenger transport portfolio.
Launched one year ago, the GSR225 Combi Road has specially developed tread and base compounds to improve mileage and a wider tread pattern to deliver excellent handling and extra resistance to tearing and curbing, making it appropriate for a wide variety of regional and long-haul vehicles.
The 22.5” tyre is currently available in sizes 275/70, 295/80, 315/60, 315/70 and 315/80 with load indexes range from 148/145M to 156/150L.
GT Radial’s first all-position urban city-bus tyre, GAU861 has been designed with an extra reinforced sidewall to ensure maximum resistance to curbing and impact damage, while a 20.2mm deep, unique tread pattern ensures good mileage performance combined with extra comfort and reduced noise.
Available in 275/70R22.5, the tyre can be used in both steer and drive positions on both 4×2 and 6×2 configurations and is M+S marked.
Also on show at stand E32 will be the 17.5” GAR820 regional all-position pattern and GDR619 drive axle tyres, alongside the 22.5” GDL617, GDR621 and GT629 drive axle and GT867 urban tyres. All products are snowflake and M&S marked, indicating excellent traction in mud and snow conditions.

This is an important show in realising our goals.”
