WAKEFIELD, Mass. — Yokohama Off-Highway Tires America Inc. (YOHT) has introduced an 875/65R29 size of its Yokohama RT41 L-4 radial for front-end loaders.
"We have seen a lot of interest in the 875/65R29 size as earthmoving machinery continues to increase in size," Bruce Besancon, YOHT vice president of marketing, said.
"The RT41 has set a high bar for strength, performance and return on investment in loader tires, so it is exciting to be able to bring this new technology to even larger equipment that can benefit from its unique construction features and high-durability compound."
The new size features a multi-layer belt package with Yokohama's flexible OTR belt wires to enhance durability, stability and puncture resistance.
The tire's buttressed sidewalls reduce snags and cuts, high turn-up carcass construction that minimizes sway, and a hexagonal bead to ensure powerful rim contact, the company said.
As with the 25-inch versions of the RT41, the non-directional block tread of the new 875/65R29 features Yokohama cut-and-wear-resistant compound for longer service life.
