Goodyear adds UniCircle tread for mixed-service applications

Goodyear announced the availability of the company’s G186 MSA (mixed-service, all-position) UniCircle retread, which features Goodyear’s spliceless UniCircle Technology. The G186 MSA UniCircle boasts three zig-zag circumferential grooves for extra all-season traction, a long-wearing compound for increased tread life, and other features.

“Goodyear UniCircle retreads feature a spliceless, seamless design, which offers several benefits, including snug adherence to a tire’s casing to enhance uniformity, casing endurance and toughness,” said Brian Buckham, general manager of product marketing for Goodyear Commercial Tire Systems. “This is important for mixed-service trucks that travel across challenging surfaces.”

Goodyear UniCircle treads are also automatically positioned on casings using laser-guided technology and are precision-stitched, which avoids cutting and splicing, which can help extend casing life and mileage, the company explained.
