Goodyear Off-The-Road Expands Retread Lineup To Include RT-3B

AKRON, Ohio, Oct. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (NASDAQ: GT) today announced the launch of its RT-3B bead-to-bead retread. The new retread provides all-around performance on an array of underfoot conditions for loaders and graders and complements its existing lineup of premium off-the-road (OTR) retread tires.

Goodyear retreads deliver like-new performance for tough OTR applications and can provide a savings of up to 60% versus a new tire. Additionally, retreads can extend the life of the tire while delivering traction and treadwear and promotes sustainability by helping to reduce unnecessary waste.

The Goodyear RT-3B retread is now available in the U.S. and Canada in two popular sizes: 20.5R25 and 23.5R25. Features and benefits of the Goodyear RT-3B retread include:

  • New rubber cured in a mold and press from bead-to-bead.
  • Low heat generation and long hours to removal promoted by its 115-level tread depth.
  • Cut-resistance and traction provided by its centerline lugs and open shoulder.

« We are always focused on delivering high value and low cost of ownership to our OTR customers, » said Loic Ravasio, general manager, Global and Americas OTR. « The RT-3B is a substantial addition to our retread portfolio providing another great option for operators to help drive efficiency, reduce costs and protect the environment. »

Goodyear has been retreading Tier 1 OTR casings since 1957 and has a dedicated OTR retread facility located in North Bay, Ontario. Retreads provide a value proposition to operators, but for those customers not interested in retreading, Goodyear OTR can purchase eligible Tier 1 casings that meet its casing purchase requirements.

Goodyear OTR retreads are part of Goodyear’s Total Mobility platform of trusted products, reliable services and tire management solutions – all delivered by a global network.
