So much rides on tires that manufacturers are constantly improving them in a variety of technically fascinating ways providing buyers with the best performance and durability for specific machines and applications. Here are some recent updates to tires for construction equipment.

Engineered for the toughest jobs, Yokohama Tire's Y69K L-5S tire for loaders, underground vehicles and dozers, now comes in a new size - 35/65-33 - with a CP-S (special cut resistance) compound and steel breaker construction.

Yokohama Tire's new RL47A E-4 radial tire for rigid frame dump truck applications is now available in size 27.00R49. The RL47A, designed to handle longer high-speed hauls, is offered in four different compound options: CP (cut-protected), REG (regular), CP-S (special cut resistance) and HR (heat resistant).

The Tire Industry Association (TIA), a leader in tire safety and education, is pleased to announce the names of the honourees for the 2018 Hall of Fame and Ed Wagner Leadership Award. The inductions will take place at the Tire Industry Honors Awards Ceremony on Monday, October 29th at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel.

Yokohama Tire's RB42 33.00R51 E-4 radial tire for various rigidframe haul truck applications is now available in multiple compounds - CP(cut-protected) and REG (regular) - so the tires can be customized for specificapplications.

Continuing to help off-the-road (OTR) tire dealers and end-users with innovative ways to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency, Yokohama Tire Corporation (YTC) will now offer five new OTR tires with dual TRA code designations to handle both loader and transport applications.   

Yokohama Tire Corporation (YTC) is rolling out a new off-the-road (OTR) radial all-weather tire – the MYX S01 – in booth #C22231 at ConExpo in Las Vegas, March 7-11. The MYX S01 will be part of YTC’s wide range of OTR and commercial tire offerings at the massive construction industry trade show.

For the fourth straight year, Yokohama Tire Corporation has earned Caterpillar’s premier supplier award: the Platinum Level Recertification in its Supplier Quality Excellence Process (SQEP). The award went to Yokohama’s off-the-road (OTR) factory in Onomichi, Japan.

Yokohama Tire Corporation is unveiling two new off-the-road (OTR) radial tires at the upcoming ConExpo trade show: the RL45™ and RL51™.  The tires will be on display in Yokohama booth #30412 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, March 4-8.

The expansion of the Yokohama line of radial-ply OTR tires comes at an opportune time, says Jonathon Karelse, marketing manager of Yokohama Canada. “From rigid and articulated dump trucks to cranes and front-end loaders, the heat management, low rolling resistance and increased load capacity of specialty radial tires expand the choices we can provide our OTR clients,” says Karelse.
