Milestar Launches New Commercial Van Tire

Tireco’s Milestar brand has rolled out six new Steelpro MS597S fitments designed for the commercial van segment.

“We’re excited to further expand the Milestar brand, and the Steelpro family of products with the launch of the new MS597S, and we’re poised to deliver popular fitments to support the enormous growth of the commercial van segment and the needs of our customers,” said Andrew Hoit, Tireco’s vice president of sales and marketing. “We see great opportunity, as fleet and commercial van sales continue to outpace the overall industry by segment.”

The MS597S features an aggressive highway rib design for quiet, longer-lasting treadwear and stone ejectors within the groove to protect against stone retention and drilling, Tireco said. Additionally, the tire comes with a 40,000 mile limited warranty.

Launch sizes include, 215/55R16, 215/50R17, 205/65R15C, 185/60R15C, 195/75R16C, and 235/65R16C.
