Goodyear Waste-Haul Tire

Goodyear has launched what it calls its longest-wearing waste-haul tire, promising it will help fleets lower their operating costs by offering more miles to removal and other important benefits.

The Goodyear's Endurance WHA waste-haul tire will offer more miles to removal than any previous Goodyear waste-haul tire, the company says, plus other cost-reducing benefits.

It will also launch a matching Endurance WHA retread.

The combination of a new, scrub-resistant compound and a deep, 24/32-in. tread depth is the key to long mileage, Goodyear says.

Optional with the new tire is Goodyear’s DuraSeal Technology, which is built into the tire during the manufacturing process and instantly seals nail-hole punctures of up to ¼-in. in diameter in the repairable area of a truck tire’s tread. Goodyear is the only tire company that offers a built-in tire sealant.

Available during the fourth quarter of 2015 in size 315/80R22.5, load range L, the Goodyear Endurance WHA is also said to feature:

•           New sidewall protector shingles to help resist sidewall scuffing in high-scrub applications, which will help enhance casing life

•           A steel belt and casing package for enhanced toughness, endurance and retreadability

•           An optimized shoulder design to help direct pressure away from the tire’s outer tread, which promotes uniform tread wear

•           Four wide circumferential grooves for all-season traction on wet, snow-covered and dry roads in stop/start waste haul truck applications

•           A wide footprint to enhance cornering and handling when used on local streets
