The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. has launched three new scraper tires for construction and mining/earthmover applications.
“The launch of our new Goodyear RT-3A (E-3), RT-3A+ (E-3+) and RL-3J (E-3) tires completes our scraper tire line-up,” said Evan Perrow, marketing manager at Goodyear. “It also is another example of Goodyear’s ongoing commitment to helping mining and construction operations lower their costs.”
Designed for traction in all underfoot conditions, the Goodyear RT-3A (E-3) and Goodyear RT-3A+ (E-3+) feature cool-running, radial construction and an aggressive tread pattern. The geometric lug pattern offers long tread life, even pressure distribution and enhanced mobility, the tiremaker said. Additionally, the tires have buttressed, self-cleaning lugs to help protect against sidewall cutting.
The RT-3A (E-3) is available in size 33.25R29 and the RT-3A+ (E-3+) is available in size 40.5/75R39.
The Goodyear RL-3J (E-3) is for high-speed use on moderate-to-severe underfoot conditions, Goodyear said. A zig-zag, centerline groove offers lateral traction in high-torque applications and tapered, self-cleaning shoulder lugs deliver forward traction. The tire also features a high-tensile steel belt package for enhanced impact resistance, Goodyear shared.
The RL-3J (E-3) is available in size 37.25R35.
In addition to new products, Goodyear is expanding its distribution.
“We are investing in our network of dealers and distributors – including our Goodyear Commercial Tire & Service Centers – to help ensure that our customers receive the right products and services at the right time,” said Perrow.
