Krone has become the first trailer manufacturer to offer Goodyear’s latest winter trailer tyres as original equipment. The renowned manufacturer has approved the Goodyear ULTRA GRIP MAX T in sizes 385/65R22.5 and 385/55R22.5 for trailers destined for severe winter operations.

“We are very pleased that Krone has become the first trailer manufacturer to approve our latest ULTRA GRIP MAX T winter trailer tyre,” said Peter Platje, Director OE Sales Truck Tyres Goodyear Dunlop EMEA.

“The excellent winter performance that our new Goodyear ULTRA GRIP MAX tyres provide helps vehicles to operate in severe winter conditions and keep going.”

The new ULTRA GRIP MAX winter truck tyre range provides up to 40% more snow grip when half worn and up to 15% more mileage1.

With this special feature, the new Goodyear truck winter tyre line helps keep trucks going and gives peace of mind to drivers as well as fleet operators.
