Giti Tire (USA) Inc. introduced a non-directional regional drive tire in North America.
The GT Radial GT639, which was designed for North America, provides “exceptional traction and outstanding mileage performance for regional fleet operations,” the tiremaker said. The tire is ideal for high-mileage, high-scrub regional operations, and features a 30/32nd tread depth and an open shoulder tread pattern.
“The GT Radial GT639 is an outstanding drive tire for regional fleets developed through extensive research and development efforts by our team at the Giti North American Technical Center in Ohio,” said Patrick Gunn, director of sales and marketing, commercial tire, for Giti Tire (USA) Ltd., which markets and sells GT Radial commercial tires in North America. “Regional fleet operations will experience long tread life from the deeper tread depth, and drivers will appreciate the traction delivered by the next generation tread design.”
According to the tiremaker, the GT639 also benefits from the following Giti technologies:
• Equal Force Casing is a specially designed carcass technology that enables an optimal tire footprint and equal force distribution for better control and regular tread wear.
• With the Giti Cap Base Design, the cap layer provides wear resistant qualities while the base rubber between the top layer and the casing includes a special cooler running formulation that insulates the casing from heat build up.
• Duo Filler Technology is a combination of two bead fillers – hard and soft. The soft bead filler helps provide a more comfortable ride and smoother handling, while the hard bead filler is stiffer for better durability.
The GT639 is available in four sizes: 11R22.5, 295/75R22.5, 11R24.5 and 285/75R24.5. It’s backed by a 72-month limited warranty and limited two-retread casing warranty.
