BBTS shows off SmartWay tires at show

March 19, 2009

Bridgestone Bandag Tire Solutions (BBTS) is displaying truck tires that have been certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) SmartWay program at this week's Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky.

The tires include the Bridgestone R287 steer tire, the R280 steer, the M&20 drive, the R195F trailer and the company's Greatec wide-base tire.

SmartWay program  tires have achieved at least 3% better total vehicle fuel economy than the EPA-defined average, or a 15% reduction in rolling resistance per wheel position, say BBTS officials.
