SEMA, DAY THREE: Dunlop sport truck tire goes to 24

Nov. 2, 2005

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. has expanded the size range of its Dunlop Grandtrek PT9000 to 24 inches.

The tire is now available in size 305/35R24 with a speed rating of H.

"Large sizes of the PT9000 make perfect sense to enthusiasts who personalize their vehicles," says Andy Traicoff, director of Dunlop consumer marketing.

Other sizes in the Dunlop PT9000 line include 255/50R20, 275/40R20 and 305/40R22.

The 24-inch version of the tire is on display at this week's SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) Show in Las Vegas, Nev.

Goodyear also has announced that it has added a DOT-legal drag tire to its Dunlop Direzza line. The Direzza GRP targets the tuner market.

It is available in 10 sizes, ranging from 15 to 18 inches in diameter.
