Yokohama Tire Corp. plans to unveil two OTR radial tires at the upcoming ConExpo trade show.
Both the RL45 and RL51 radial tires will be on display in the Yokohama booth at the Las Vegas Convention Center from March 4-8.
“The new RL45 and RL51 spotlight our latest technology in OTR radial tire tread design,” said Tim Easter, Yokohama director of OTR sales. “Among the many benefits, the new treads are more durable and last longer.”
The RL45 E-4 is made for articulated dump trucks and scrapers and the L-4 version is for front-end loaders. This tire features zig-zag shaped grooves for better traction, side protection, sidewall cuts, non-directional block pattern and multi-layer cross belt package for durability. The RL45 is available in size 26.5R25.
The RL51 L-5 application is designed for front-end loaders and graders. Available in size 23.5R25, this tire also features high-tech tread compound, non-directional block pattern for traction, added defense against sidewall cuts, side protection and multi-layered cross-ply steel belt package.
Also on display at ConExpo will be the RT41 E-4 with a new CPUG (cut protective underground) tread compound for articulated dump trucks and scrapers. It is available in three sizes: 23.5R25, 26.5R25 and 29.5R25.
