Vipal Rubber is introducing its VT850 tread, developed for heavy-duty work vehicles such as motor graders, wood grabber loaders, and vehicles that require traction to operate off-road, to the U.S. market.

The VT850 tread has the M + S marking as well as a wear indicator, which indicates the exact moment it should be retreaded, the company says.
