New waste hauling tire offers puncture-resistant DuraSeal Technology

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company introduced their G289 WHA line of waste hauling tires this past June at Waste Expo in Las Vegas. G289 WHA tires include a wider, deeper 24/32-inch tread which helps to extend tread life in waste and recycling haul applications, and a waste haul compound significantly enhances tread life and scrub resistance for long tread life and retreadability. These tires feature a sidewall protector rib that helps resist scuffing in high-scrub applications to enhance casing life, and a shoulder design helps direct pressure away from the outer tread for uniform treadwear.

The G289 WHA fits the vast majority of waste haul and recycling vehicles through its 315/80R22.5 size, in load range L, at 10,200 pound capacity. It joins Goodyear’s G287 MSA and G288 MSA to offer a full suite of tires for front and rear loaders, plus transfer-dump operations. Goodyear’s full line of waste haul tires can be ordered with DuraSeal Technology, the world’s first built-in tire sealant for commercial truck applications, according to the company. A gel-like rubber compound instantly seals punctures up to 1/4-inch in diameter in the repairable area of the tread. These tires also feature all-season traction on wet, snowy or dry roads in stop/start waste haul applications – derived from four wide circumferential grooves in the tread area.
