DAF is the first truck manufacturer to approve Goodyear’s new Ultra Grip Max truck winter tyres as factory-fit options.
From week 41 this year, operators ordering DAF trucks can specify Ultra Grip Max S steer tyres and D drive tyres in sizes 315/70R22.5 and 315/80R22.5.
“This illustrates the outstanding winter performance our new truck winter line-up provides,” says Peter Platje, director OE sales for truck tyres at Goodyear Dunlop.
“Now customers can have their new DAF trucks delivered with our best tyres for the worst possible winter conditions,” he adds.
Goodyear claims that its new Ultra Grip Max winter truck tyre range provides up to 40% more grip when half worn and up to 15% more mileage.
