Bridgestone Americas has released two new Bandag retreads for
drive applications – the Bandag DR 5.3 and DR 4.3.
“Bandag leads the market with high
quality retreads that focus on delivering the lowest cost per mile to our fleet
customers through the use of advanced compounds and tread design technology,”
said Ben Rosenblum, director of Bandag marketing for Bridgestone’s commercial
group. “With the launch of DR 5.3 and DR 4.3, along with the TR 4.1 trailer
pattern introduced late last year, we’ve delivered a compelling balance of
performance and affordability, all manufactured with a high quality retread
process that has been a hallmark of Bandag for nearly 60 years.”
Ideal for truckload, less-than-truckload and pick-up and delivery fleets, the
new retreads combine tough compounds and designs to offer longevity and value,
Bridgestone said.
The Bandag DR 5.3 closed-shoulder drive
pattern for over-the-road applications features a robust, solid shoulder for
long tread life and uniform wear, an aggressive lug pattern for strong traction
and stone rejecters.
The Bandag DR 4.3 open-shoulder drive
pattern for a variety of on and mild off-road applications features a wide
center rib for stability and even wear and an open shoulder that provides
strong evacuation and traction in tough weather conditions, plus a strong grip
for chains, the tiremaker said.
The DR 5.3 and DR 4.3 retreads are now
available through Bandag dealers in North America in common casing sizes used
in truckload, LTL and P&D services.
