Tyres & Retreads
Dunlop has launched a 17.5-inch version of its SP 344* truck steer tyre, which, it says, will deliver improved fleet efficiency for regional transport operators.

The new SP 344* promises increased robustness, good mileage, even wear, and better handling and wet braking performance.

This, says Dunlop, is thanks to a new tread compound. The tyre also features a five rib design and closed shoulder ribs, for extended mileage and improved handling. In addition, Dunlop says the groove shape will reject stones.

Available in sizes 245/70R17.5 136/134M TL and 265/70R17.5 139/136M TL, both are rated B for wet grip with D for fuel efficiency.

For fleets engaged in distribution and regional operations, "good mileage, even wear and robustness are vital for efficiency", says Marc Preedy, Goodyear Dunlop UK commercial director.

"We are convinced that the new Dunlop SP 344* with its improved performance will continue the successful history of the SP 344 series."
