Bridgestone releases all-position on/off highway retread

Bridgestone Americas, Inc. has introduced the Bandag BRSS all-position retread, which the company says is designed for fleets that work in on and off-road environments, from pavement to dirt and gravel. According to Bridgestone, the retread is engineered for long wear life on multiple surfaces, and is a reliable solution for fleets looking to extend tire life and capitalize on the full performance potential of tire casings.

“Severe service fleets experience many conditions on their route, which is why we designed a retread offering that fits the needs of fleets in on/off highway applications,” said LaTres Jarrett, director of marketing for Bandag with Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations. “The Bandag BRSS retread is a comprehensive solution that is versatile enough to perform across a variety of challenging applications, from logging to oil refining to construction, and deliver reliable performance regardless of the landscape.”

Features of the Bandag BRSS retread highlighted by the company include:

  • A deep tread of 20/32-in. for extended wear life;
  • A specialized compound engineered to resist chipping and cutting; and
  • An optimized tread design to discourage stone retention.
