Oliver Rubber introduces drive retread for long haul, regional applications

Oliver Rubber, provider of products and services to the tire retreading industry, has launched the Oliver Performance Drive, a drive position retread for long haul and regional applications.

“The Performance Drive is the newest Oliver product. It is designed with unique properties to assist fleet operations in controlling their overall tire expenditures,” said Philip Boarts, Oliver product category manager. “This retread delivers high mileage and excellent traction throughout the life of the tread.”

Oliver’s proprietary tread compounding delivers excellent wear resistance, while the deep full-width sipes and interlocking grooves assist with rain and snow evacuation, according to the company. Designed for single and tandem axle tractors, the Performance Drive has 26/32nds of tread depth and is available in five sizes: 210, 220, 230, 240 and 250. All Oliver retreads carry a national warranty to 2/32nds of tread depth.
