The Bridgestone L315, according to BFNAT, was “engineered for long mileage, superior traction and outstanding flotation.”

The L315, with a 30/32nd tread depth, was designed for extra-heavy loads, such as front-discharge cement mixers with front-wheel or all-wheel drive, as well as dump trucks, specialty oil-field equipment and on/off-highway construction vehicles.

The super wide Bridgestone L315 has an L load rating, good for up to 12,300 pounds at 120 psi. It is now available in size 445/65R22.5. (Tire Review/Akron)
