The lineup includes drive tires with open or closed shoulders, as well as steer steer tires, and it will be available in a wide range of sizes by the end of the year to support different vocational segments.

Key features of the R89 Series tires are said to include high mileage and even wear, improved fuel efficiency thanks to a tread compound that withstands high scrub conditions, and high retreadability using Pirelli’s patented Spiral Advanced Technology for Truck (SATT) combined with Hexa Bead Wire.
