Yokohama 29-inch radial tire expands to dual-marked status for use on ADTs

Yokohama's RT41 875/65R29 radial tire is now available for use on articulated dump trucks (ADTs) as a dual-marked E-4**/L-4* tire.

With its cut-and-chip-resistant compound, high-traction block tread pattern, and all-steel construction, Yokohama says that its RT41 is durable and dependable in the harsh environments of mines and quarries.

"The 875/65R29 RT41 radial has been a huge success on loaders operating in shot rock, gravel, and soft underfoot conditions, and it has passed the rigorous testing to also be designated an E-4** tire for articulated dump trucks," says Dhananjay Bisht, product manager of earthmoving, construction, and industrial tires for Yokohama Off-Highway Tires America.

Bisht adds that the convenience of stocking a single 29-inch high-performance tire for both E-4 and L-4 applications makes purchasing and inventory management more efficient for both tire dealers and quarry/mine managers.

The Yokohama RT41 is also available as a dual-marked E-4**/L-4* in 23.5R25, 26.5R25 and 29.5R25.
