AKRON, Ohio, Nov. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company (NASDAQ: GT) announces its newest
addition to its off-highway large haulage product line, the RH-4A+,
engineered to deliver a lower operating cost per hour and higher
productivity in hard rock underfoot conditions. This tire features
an extra-deep E-4+ tread depth with a high net-to-gross tread
pattern and optimized footprint pressure to help provide long hours
to removal.
Available now, the Goodyear RH-4A+ tire is an important addition
to Goodyear's Total Solution of trusted products, reliable services
and fleet management tools – all delivered by a global network.
The new Goodyear RH-4A+ large haulage tire helps operators be
more productive and operate at a lower cost by providing the
following benefits and features:
- Enhanced sidewall durability and lateral stability with
Goodyear's new Durawall Technology®, wider bead design, and wider
molded rim width
- Increased hours to removal and cut protection with its high
net-to-gross tread pattern and deep, E-4+ tread depth
- Cool operating temperatures from the tread's centerline
blading, shoulder lug pockets, and shoulder lug side notches
Field results from global mining customers have shown that the
RH-4A+ delivers up to 12% better hours to removal than RM-4B+*.
"Low operating cost per hour is an important requirement for
mine operators," said Eric Matson,
Global OTR Field Engineering Manager. "Customers also require other
performance benefits, such as a tread and casing that together
deliver long hours to removal, resistance to cutting, and excellent
traction in severe, hard rock underfoot conditions. The new RH-4A+
provides these benefits to help mining fleets optimize productivity
and lower their operating costs."
The RH-4A+ is currently available in sizes 59/80R63, 46/90R57
and 27.00R49 through Goodyear's global network of authorized OTR
dealers. It is available in customized casing constructions
and with Goodyear's proprietary tread compounds to meet hauling
conditions.
"Complimenting the RH-4A+ is Goodyear's EMTrack tire performance
tracking software, giving operators the ability to track the tire's
properties to reduce operational costs," said Matson. "With
EMTrack, mining operators can track the performance of their tires,
including the new RH-4A+, in order to project timing of rotation,
replacement and help to manage their inventory."
