World premier for Goodyear new wheel loader tyre

Goodyear has launched a new wheel loader tyre for heavy applications.  The tyre was unveiled this  week at Bauma, the construction fair in Munich, Germany.

Amongst the many benefits the new Goodyear RT-5D wheel loader tyre offers in comparison to its predecessor, is 25 per cent more carrying capacity, greater comfort and more powerful traction. This new addition to Goodyear’s Off The Road (OTR) tyre range is a level 250 (L5) traction tyre for severe conditions including those in quarries, difficult industrial applications and recycling as well as in open and underground mines.

The Goodyear RT-5D features Hi-Stability Carcass Technology, which combines reinforcements in the bead area, on the carcass breakers and at the ply turn-up. This results in enhanced productivity performance, greater protection for the sidewalls in aggressive

environments and minimised deflection. The additional 25% load-carrying capacity per cycle means increased productivity and therefore profitability. The new tyre also gives more comfort.

The innovative CAD-developed tread design also delivers a high level of protection against impact and shocks, as well as its powerful traction performance and longevity, particularly in tough conditions.
