Bridgestone Americas Inc. will unveil its Bridgestone Greatec M847 wide-base truck tire during WasteExpo.
The tire, which targets urban applications is designed to provide fleets with durability, improved fuel efficiency and lower total cost of ownership, according to Bridgestone officials.
WasteExpo will take place May 1-4 in New Orleans, La.
“Fleets that operate in high-scrub, urban areas need reliable tires to keep up with the pace of their business, while also cutting their cost per mile,” says Chris Tavares, executive director of commercial marketing at Bridgestone Americas.
“Our team of engineers at Bridgestone designed the Greatec M847 with this in mind and have developed an innovative tire with unwavering performance and exceptional longevity.”
Features of the Greatec M847 include a redesigned tread package with a deeper, 26/32nd design to increase wear life and scrub distance; stone rejector platforms with wide shoulder grooves to prevent groove-cracking; a continuous shoulder to provide long, even wear and reduce rolling resistance; and more.
The Bridgestone Greatec M847 tire will be available in 455/55R22.5.
Bridgestone officials add that the tire can also be supported by solutions like the Bridgestone Fleet Care tire-monitoring service, IntelliTire, which provides real-time data on tire pressure monitoring, temperature and speed.
