Bridgestone’s Bandag tread range offers sensational protection to fleets

Published on 6 May 2010

With the launching of their Bandag tread range, Bridgestone are now offering sensational investment protection to fleets in wear-intensive transport applications.

The Bandag tread range corresponds exactly to Bridgestone’s premium on/off-road tyres and is intended for drive axle, trailer and all-position use respectively. The merging of the two ‘Bs’ Bridgestone and Bandag has given the world half a century of retreading expertise combined with the high-tech quality development of a major tyre manufacturer. This new product provides customers with similar quality, performance and looks as the equivalent Bridgestone new tyres.

The common feature of the new Bandag L355 (E) traction tread, M748 (E) trailer tread and M840 (E) all-position tread is their extraordinary resistance to cutting and chipping. With the use of Bridgestone’s newly developed revolutionary new rubber compound, designed to withstand the harshest surfaces fleet operators now have at their disposal a tyre that is capable of withstanding the roughest terrains. The tyre is further strengthened through reinforced shoulders, which help protect the valuable tyre casing against sharp objects, while the extra-deep tread patterns extend tyre lifespan even in the harshest driving conditions. Fleet managers operating in wear intensive environments have now been offered a reliability across several ‘lives’ providing them with an economic solution to their tyre budgets.
