Goodyear’s GP-4D is a high-traction, deep tread tyre for ADTs

5010 Goodyear Tyre and Rubber is looking to demonstrate its commitment to the construction industry by launching a range of tyres for earthmoving applications, which aims to boost productivity and reduce operating costs.

The range includes the TL-4A and GP-4D. While the TL-4A is said to feature an optimised tread pattern for versatility and traction in severe conditions, the GP-4D is a high-traction, deep-tread tyre suited to articulated dump trucks.

Goodyear said the GP-4D features a non-direction tread design.

Goodyear also has the Armor Max Pro Grade MSD, intended for construction trucks such as cement mixers and tippers, and it features a rugged tread pattern suited to on- and off-road running.

This particular tyre is also available with the company’s DuraSeal technology, which helps to seal nail-hole punctures up to a quarter of an inch, within the tyre’s repairable tread area.
