TECHNICAL INNOVATIONS POSITIONED FOR PRODUCTIVITY. Yokohama now offers an 875/65R29 version of its RT41 radial. So that is an angle we have to consider when we are designing a tire for this type of machine. We extended the lug in the center so that both the leading and trailing lug are touching the surface. There is much more continuity in terms of how much tread is touching the surface with the radial design than any bias tire. " TURN UP YOUR TURNOUT.

The RT41 radial will now be available in the 875/65R29 size. Yokohama claims this new size provides " extra width for added traction and stability. " The new size also reportedly features a unique multi-layer, cross-ply belt package that is woven with flexible steel belt wire. Yokohama claims that the L-4 tread blocks of the RT41 are 50% deeper than comparable L-3 designs, which adds service life by reducing heat buildup. Service life is also reportedly extended thanks to the abrasion- and cut-resistant rubber compound. Yokohama also announced the 29.5R25 size for the RL52 loader radial. The RL52 is intended for high-capacity loaders in quarries and surface mines. Yokohama touts its RL52 loader radial as a " rugged L-5 radial for front-end loaders. " The RL52 features a cut-resistant cap compound and flush tread design that Yokohama claims minimizes wear from abrasion. The RL52's design also features rock tread lugs with a low lug-to-void ratio and buttress side protection to help prevent sidewall cuts and snags.
