Oliver introduces trailer tread

GREENVILLE, S.C. (Sept. 15, 2016) — Oliver Rubber Co. L.L.C. has launched the ORCO HS Trailer, a precured trailer-position tread for regional and long-haul applications.

“The ORCO HS Trailer delivers a cost-efficient solution for single- and tandem-axle trailers in this new, modern Oliver product,” said Adam Murphy, vice president of marketing for Michelin Americas Truck Tires, parent of Oliver Rubber.

“It provides a winning combination of long, even wear and excellent wet traction for a variety of trailer applications.”

The tread features VDI Plus, which resists stone retention and other road debris and helps enforce any pull point schedule. It also has a shallow tread depth of 11/32nd inch for cool running, the company said.

It is available in four sizes:  205, 210, 220 and 230. Michelin said all Oliver retreads carry a national warranty to 2/32nd inch of tread depth.
