TYRES
Goodyear is launching a brand-new mixed service truck
tyre range, offering optimal damage resistance and longer
service life than previous Goodyear mixed service tyres, plus
an accidental damage and retreading guarantee. The new
OMNITRAC range features new DuraShield technology and
combines excellent robustness with enhanced performance
and retreadability.
The new tyres have been developed for vehicles operating in today’s
mixed service applications, where they face the difficult conditions
of unpaved sites but predominantly operate on roads. These include
tippers, cement mixers, concrete pumps and low loaders operating
in construction, as well as trucks in waste, recycling, timber and
agricultural industries.
The new OMNITRAC range comprises 10 sizes (six OMNITRAC S
steer tyres and four OMNITRAC D drive tyres), including one new
to the mixed service industry. This 315/70R22.5 size covers the
growing trend for the use of standard tractors in this market sector.
DuraShield is a new Goodyear technology featuring an exclusive
top belt for extra resistance to casing damage, which also improves
retreadability. The new OMNITRAC range offers improved service
life
[1]
and full 3PMSF compliance to meet ever tougher winter tyre
requirements.
A further feature of the tyres is the integration of radio frequency
identification
(RFID),
allowing
simple
identification
and
connectivity to tyre management and tracking systems. The
Goodyear OMNITRAC guarantee
[2]
gives fleets extra peace of mind,
covering accidental impact damage that renders a registered tyre
unrepairable and unusable. It also guarantees the additional 100%
casing acceptance guarantee

.
“Today’s mixed service fleet operators are demanding tyres that
offer both versatile on-road capability and greater resistance
to the conditions encountered both on- and off-road,” said
Benjamin Willot, Director Marketing Commercial Tires Europe at
Goodyear. “Our new OMNITRAC tyres are a further development
of our previous range and now feature DuraShield technology to
make them even tougher and offer greater service life. We are so
confident of the robustness of these tyres that we are guaranteeing
them against accidental damage.”
