New Urban Service Radial From Dayton
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 25, 2002) - Dayton introduces a new, regional/urban radial tire for Class 6, 7 and 8 trucks used in shorter hauls and in pickup and delivery applications.
The new radial, called the "Radial Metro All-Position," features a deep tread for long original mileage and an all-position design that allows it to be used on any axle.
Fleets making regional hauls and doing P&D work subject their tires to much more starting, stopping, turning and maneuvering than long distance line haul users. "Metro" radials, like the new Dayton Radial Metro All-Position, are designed to stand up to high scrub, yet still provide even wear and long, low-cost mileage. Both the Radial Metro All-Position's deep original tread and solid shoulder design help to slow tread wear under demanding conditions.
A combination of deep, wrap-around grooves and thousands of rib edge sipes help remove water to provide superb wet traction - for quick stops on slick city streets. Four full steel belts and an all-steel casing ply provide excellent retreadability.
The Dayton Radial Metro All-Position tire is available in both standard and low profile sizes, with "G" and "H" load ratings, for 22.5 and 24.5-inch wheels. For more information, see a Dayton dealer, or visit the Dayton web site, www.trucktires.com.
