RY253 Wide Base On-Highway All-Position

Application
The RY253 is a low-profile, wide-base, all-position radial for on-highway line haul operations. This wide-base performer offers several advantages over dual tire assemblies: lower initial cost, greater payload potential, better fuel economy and easier maintenance. The six-rib tread design delivers top traction in wet driving conditions and excellent lateral stability. Special tread compounds generate less heat to provide reliable high-speed operation and extend the life of the tire.

Features and Benefits
  • Heat-resistant tread compounds produce a cool-running tire.

  • Six-rib tread design provides superior traction on wet roads, a smooth ride and even wear.

  • Wide, rigid shoulder ribs help prevent sidewall cutting and scuffing.

  • Special risers in the groove corners and stone-rejection blocks in the center groove reduce stone penetration for improved casing life. They also reduce irregular wear abuse by stone retention.

  • Specially reinforced bead construction (highly turned-up body ply with a one-ply steel/two-ply nylon chafer construction) increases bead area durability for high-load operations and retreadability.
