Goodyear Launches Fuel Max 1AD Tire

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company announced the next addition to the Fuel Max lineup, the Fuel Max 1AD, for single-axle drive tractors handling super regional, less-than truckload, or LTL, applications. The super-regional single-axle drive tire is available in 295/75R22.5 Load Range G.

“The Fuel Max 1AD tire is designed to handle the demanding high torque seen on single axle tractors with the mileage, traction, and fuel efficiency our customers demand in a premium product,” said Tom Lippello, senior director of commercial marketing for Goodyear North America in a statement. “Its long-lasting tread design features encapsulated shoulder siping to help maintain single axle traction and is designed to keep your freight moving efficiently in the toughest conditions.”

Features and Benefits of the Fuel Max 1AD Tire

• New tread compound designed specifically for the demanding high torque seen in super regional applications on single axle drive tractors.
• Hybrid lug-to-rib tread pattern enhances traction and helps improve rolling resistance while delivering more wearable rubber for longer tread life.
• High waffle blade density to pull point throughout the center and shoulder ribs helps achieve 3PMSF traction and stiffens tread for long miles to removal.

The Fuel Max 1AD has high scrub resistance for tight turns and yard mobility with a tread that resists tearing and cracking. It also meets testing requirements for Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) standards. The new Fuel Max 1AD is part of Goodyear’s Total Mobility platform of products, service network, and complete tire management for customers.
