New truck and bus tyres from GT Radial17 June 2014

GT Radial has announced the release of two new tyres for the truck and bus market – a high traction steer axle and a low platform trailer pattern.

The steer axle tyre, the GSW226, is the company's first winter marked tyre and has been designed for snow, ice and wet road conditions. With its emphasis on all-season traction and breaking, the product has also been designed to deliver high mileage potential, says the company.

Developed for modern 3m-high mega trailer configurations, the GTL925 long distance tyre has an extra-wide, low-profile casing resulting in a very regular wear pattern with low rolling resistance and noise emissions. Wide shoulder ribs increase protection against impact damage.

Both products were showcased at the Reifen 2014 event recently and will be on the market by the end of this year.

Also making its debut at the show was the GSR225 Combi Road, which has new tread and base compounds to improve mileage, as well as a wider tread pattern for handling and resistance to tearing and curbing.
