Goodyear Introduces New Vocational Tire
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. on July 11 introduced the Armor Max Pro Grade MSD, a vocational tire designed for trucks working on construction sites and in coalfields.
Akron, Ohio-based Goodyear said the tire complies with federal greenhouse-gas regulations and incorporates the company’s DuraSeal technology for sealing nail hole punctures in the tread up to 0.25-inch in diameter.
Goodyear Armor Max Pro Grade MSD also boasts a premium-quality casing for enhanced retreadability, the company said.
The tire is available in the following sizes: 11R22.5, 11R24.5 and 12R22.5, all Load Range H.
The company also said the tire's design elements include rugged tread for on- and off-road traction, a compound that helps resist chipping and chunking, a special mixed-service undertread compound for enhanced casing toughness and a cool-running base compound to help provide long tread life and lower rolling resistance.
