Goodyear Introduces Tire for Oil Field, Mining and Other Severe Service Applications

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. introduced the Goodyear G741 MSD, a new truck tire for oil field, mining, logging and construction applications.

Features of the G741 MSD include:

- Deep 33/32-inch tread with a wide footprint to provide high mileage and traction

- An aggressive, self-cleaning tread design to help resist mud build-up and enhance grip

- A cut- and chip-resistant tread compound that helps provide long-lasting performance on tough terrain.

- Tread block sipes to enhance traction in wet, snow and icy conditions while helping to maintain dry traction.

"The G741 MSD also boasts an innovative sidewall design that allows chains to be placed above the tread blocks for enhanced traction and grip," says Andrea Berryman, segment marketing manager.

The tire will be available in May in size 11R24.5, load range H.
