Bridgestone’s Bandag Tire Solutions is introducing its B197 trailer tread. The new offering is patterned after the Bridgestone R197 truck trailer radial that was rolled out in May.
“We’re very excited about this debut,” says product manager Chris Hoffman. “It’s the first time (the company) has launched a Bridgestone new tire and Bandag companion retread,” he explains.
“Many fleet customers tell us they are looking for a seamless choice of new tires and retread designs, adds Hoffman. “The Bridgestone R197 new trailer tire and the Bandag B197 tread design simplify the choice.”
The B197 is built for long life, “combining innovative compounding and a classic straight-rib tread design,” he notes.
It is available in sizes that fit most trailer tire casings: 210mm, 220mm and 230mm.
