Bridgestone Commercial Solutions has announced the launch of the Bridgestone R244 All-Position Steer Radial Tire. Designed with a wide base ribbed steer pattern, the tire performs well both on- and off-highway without sacrificing the traction needed on rougher roads.

Additional features of the Bridgestone R244 include:

  • Rib-type pattern to help deliver a smoother ride; wide base design allows vehicle to haul more.
  • Tread compounds to provide resistance to irregular wear, extending life and reducing cost per mile.
  • Sidewall protector ribs to protect the casing from curbing damage, plus cuts and abrasions. If one side wears away, simply flip the tire over for continued protection.

The Bridgestone R244 comes in three sizes in the U.S. and Canada. The 425/65R22.5 is available now. The 385/65R22.5 and 445/65R22.5 will be available later this year.
