Bridgestone Bandag Tire Solutions has announced the availability of its Continuum C1073 retread tire for rigid dump truck applications. The retread has been offered on a limited scale since February and initial customer use has validated the product, the company claims. Company officials said the retreads operated in a harsh mining environment for 3,000 hours of service, compared to 3,500 which is typical of a new tire, totaling 82% of the life of a new tire at 60% of the price. For more information, fleets can call 800-233-2205, ext. 5302 or e-mail mpoirier@continuummaterials.com
