The newest addition to the DuraLoad tire line from Bridgestone Commercial Solutions, a business of Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, is the Firestone DuraLoad PT L5S bias tire. Designed for severe loader service, the new tire features the same casing construction as the DuraLoad DT and DuraLoad SDT, along with a larger footprint and sidewall rib protector technology to minimize sidewall damage and improve cut resistance.
“Quarry and mining operations require specially engineered tires to maximize cut resistance in severely rocky conditions,” said Bert Jones, manager of product marketing for TBR, Retread and OTR, Bridgestone Commercial Solutions. “The Firestone DuraLoad PT L5S tire has a plain tread design with no lugs that alleviates cuts and puncture damage caused by rocks in the tread voids.”
The Firestone DuraLoad PT L5S is available in nylon and nylon steel construction in size 45/65-45.
