Bandag launches a heavy-duty traction product

The power generated by the engine of today’s modern trucks need no longer be let down by poor drive tyre performance, even in mixed on/off road and construction applications, tyre manufacture Bandag has claimed.

The new Bandag BDY3 transmits 100% of the engine’s impressive torque forces to the ground, regardless of whether the truck is operating on treacherous soft soil or potentially destructive rock fragments.

The BDY3’s directional tread pattern and its name derive from a popular new tyre in the building sector. The lug design has been optimised not only to increase traction and grip in all driving conditions, but also to reduce wear, which is good for the tyre budget. In a nutshell, BDY3F brings the peace of mind that every fleet manager is looking for.

Fleet managers know that only the best on/off road tyres will perform in extreme driving conditions. Premium tyres deliver superb traction and withstand the harshest of environments. And when the tyre’s tread becomes worn, the casing will probably still be unharmed or perfectly repairable.

And while cheap tyres need to be scrapped all too quickly and show just how expensive they can be, the new Bandag BDY3 rescues the valuable casings of premium tyres by restoring the performance levels of the original tyre. In fact, the Bandag BDY3 retread often performs even better than the original tyre it is built on!.

Extra-thick tread rubber, protected shoulder area, super-large tread blocks and a tough Bandag rubber compound act like a shield to protect the casing from crown to sidewall. Tearing, scrubbing, sharp edges and lateral forces have hardly any effect on the BDY3 - even when its impressive tread pattern comes into play to help a heavy engine heave tons of building materials to the top of a steep and slippery hill.

The BDY3 is made to last. Better still, it grants a second and possibly a third long tyre life to the best on/off road drive tyres. Top quality and reliability are now available at a fraction of the cost of a new tyre.
