Equipped with an exclusive belt system to maintain casing shape, the wide top belt is optimized for better irregular wear resistance and the Waved Belt design holds the tread flat against the road for long, even wear and excellent handling, says product manager Bert Jones.
The tire uses several innovations that fight irregular wear and promote a long, even treadlife, including Bridgestone’s Equalizer Rib structure and Defense Groove design, he notes. Both sidewalls have protector ribs to fight curbing, cuts and impacts. It also features a mineral-additive innerliner to help minimize air loss and combat oxidation of the steel cords.
“The R125A is the next generation GREATEC trailer tire for fleets that want increased revenue producing payload, long wear and lower cost per mile,” says Jones.
Other features, he notes, include:
- Stone rejector platforms that enhance
retreadabilty by helping keep rocks from embedding in
the tread and damaging the casing.
- Thirsty cross-rib sipes that improve traction on
wet roads.
- Stress-relief sipes that absorb rib edge
stresses and increase mileage.
- Exclusive TIP (Turn-In Ply) design helps reduce ply end stress and enhance durability.
