The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. added a new line of mixed-service tires, known as the Workhorse line. The tires are available in MSA and MSD varieties. Like the Goodyear Armor Max Pro Grade MSD, which was announced last month, the Goodyear Workhorse line has been designed for a wide variety of mixed-service applications.
“As the Workhorse name denotes, these new tires are tough, dependable and help mixed-service trucks tackle tough jobs,” said Goodyear Marketing Manager Evan Perrow. “We believe they will help mixed-service fleets get the job done, while helping to lower their operating costs.”
Company-described features of the Goodyear Workhorse MSA, designed for over-the-road performance, include:
- A high-mileage tread compound and enhanced tread volume to help offer many miles to removal;
