Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. said its new Endurance WHA is the longest-wearing waste haul tire that will become the “go-to” tire for waste haul fleets across North America.
“Goodyear wants to help waste haul fleets lower their operating costs, and the new Endurance WHA will do just that by offering more miles to removal and other important benefits,” said Andrea Russell, brand manager, Goodyear Commercial Tire Systems.
Goodyear unveiled the Endurance WHA at this week’s Waste Expo, taking place at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The combination of a new, scrub-resistant compound and a deep, 24/32-in. tread depth will help the Goodyear Endurance WHA deliver more miles to removal, according to the tiremaker. Optional with the Goodyear Endurance WHA is Goodyear’s DuraSeal Technology, which is built into the tire during the manufacturing process and instantly seals nail hole punctures of up to 1/4-in. in diameter in the repairable area of a truck tire’s tread.
Available during the fourth quarter of 2015 in size 315/80R22.5, Load Range L, the Goodyear Endurance WHA also features:
• New sidewall protector shingles to help resist sidewall scuffing in high-scrub applications
• A steel belt and casing package for enhanced toughness, endurance and retreadability
• An optimized shoulder design to help direct pressure away from the tire’s outer tread
• Four wide circumferential grooves for all-season traction on wet, snow-covered and dry roads in stop/start waste haul truck applications
• A wide footprint to enhance cornering and handling when used on local streets
