Bridgestone expands OTR line to include new tire for underground mining, landfill and salvage

Bridgestone Americas, Inc. has announced the expansion of its off-the-road (OTR) product portfolio to include a new size of the Bridgestone VSMS2 tire. The tire is now available in size 29.5R25 in the U.S. and Canada. Designed for underground mining, landfill and salvage environments, the Bridgestone VSMS2 tire delivers a 30 percent decrease in the frequency of sidewall cuts, improving the tire's overall life cycle performance by five percent.

"The Bridgestone VSMS2 is the ideal tire for underground mining operations, and the new 29.5R25 size completes our offering to give more customers access to trusted, heavy-duty, off-the-road performance," said Rob Seibert, director, marketing, off-the-road tires, commercial group, Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations. "This is the latest initiative in our longstanding commitment and efforts to provide off-the-road customers with innovative products, technologies and services that improve overall productivity and lower the total cost of tire ownership." 

Key features of the Bridgestone VSMS2 tire include a deeper tread pattern to provide longer wear and protection in severe operating environments; heavy duty, durable radial casing design for extended tire life; and a tread wear indicator allowing for easy visual recognition of the depth of wear. 

The Bridgestone VSMS2 tire is available in 17.5R25, 26.5R25, 29.5R25 and 29.5R29 sizes in the U.S. and Canada.
