Goodyear Adds Another Mixed-Service Tire Line: the Workhorse

Aug. 8, 2016

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. is expanding its range of mixed-service tires with the addition of the new Goodyear Workhorse line.

The Goodyear Workhorse line has been designed for a wide variety of mixed-service applications.

“Part of the Goodyear Total Solution for mixed-service fleets, the Goodyear Workhorse line includes both the Workhorse MSA and Workhorse MSD,” says Evan Perrow, marketing manager for Goodyear.

“Both tires offer strong on- and off-road performance for vocational trucks that have to get the job done in tough operating conditions.”

The Goodyear Workhorse MSA has been designed for over-the-road performance. It features:

  • a high-mileage tread compound and enhanced tread volume to help offer many miles to removal;
  • a wide footprint to help enhance mileage, cornering, and handling;
  • penetration protectors to help resist stone drilling for retreadability;
  • a steel belt/casing package to offer toughness and performance; and
  • a tread design that helps reduce road noise for a quiet ride.

The Goodyear Workhorse MSA is available in three sizes: 11R22.5 (Load Range H); 11R24.5 (Load Range H); and 315/80R22.5 (Load Range L – 10,000-lb. capacity.)

The Goodyear Workhorse MSD has been designed for both on- and off-road applications. It features:

  • rugged casing construction for enhanced toughness and retreadability in heavy-duty, off-road applications;
  • deep 31/32-inch tread with a rugged lug configuration to help deliver traction on difficult terrain;
  • an advanced tread compound to help resist cuts and chips for off-road performance;
  • a deep undertread to help promote cool-running performance while on the road; and
  • a steel belt/casing package to help enhance retreadability.

The Goodyear Workhorse MSD is available in two sizes: 11R22.5 and 11R24.5, both Load Range H.

“As the Workhorse name denotes, these new tires are tough, dependable and help mixed-service trucks tackle tough jobs,” says Perrow. “We believe they will help mixed-service fleets get the job done, while helping to lower their operating costs.”

 The Workhorse line debuts a month after Goodyear premiered another new mixed-service tires, the Goodyear Armor Max Pro Grade MSD.
