Specially designed for large dump trucks engaged in earthmoving. High resistance to cutting and chipping for long tread life. Deep tread pattern with sidewall protectors. Specifically designed for giant dump trucks. Non-directional deep tread pattern ensures excellent traction and great resistance to side-slip as well as long life and cut resistance on rocky surface. Extra-deep tread traction pattern with sidewall protectors. VZTP specially focuses on traction, without compromising extra-long tread life and superior cut resistance. Narrow center tread grooves, which reduce tread block movement and help heat desperation, along with wider side lugs, achieve the perfect balance of antithetical performance targets -- traction, tread life, and heat resistance. VZTP can be the best solution for the large, rigid dump trucks working on muddy surfaces. 14.00 R24 T/T 3 14.00 R25 T/L 3 16.00 R25 T/L 2 21.00 R33 T/L 2 T/T 2 24.00 R35 T/L 2 24.00 R49 T/L 2 27.00 R49 T/L 2 30.00 R51 T/L 2 33.00 R51 T/L 2 36.00 R51 T/L 2 37.00 R57 T/L 2 53/80 R63 T/L 2 37.00 R57 T/L 2 40.00 R57 T/L 2 46/90 R57 T/L 2 8

Rock extra-deep tread is the main feature of VRDP, which enables extended tread life and super cut resistance without compromising resistance to heat build-up. VRDP is suitable for rigid dump trucks. Can be used on abrasive or rocky road surfaces and can reduce cost per performance of standard E-4 rock patterns. 46/90R57 50/90R57 53/80R63 With a special tread pattern and optimal tire rigidity, VRPS tires boast longer tread life and greater resistance to wear and tear than VRDP tires, so they are recommended especially for use in copper, iron, gold and other metal mines requiring extra protection against tire wear, cuts and penetration. VRQP is specially developed for earthmovers working in quarries and other tough operations. Extrathick tread, which assures longer tread life and superior cut resistance, greatly reduces total tire cost for replacement in middlesized, rigid dump trucks. 27.00 R49 T/L 2 33.00 R51 T/L 2 42/90 R57 T/L 2 40.00 R57 T/L 2 46/90 R57 T/L 2 53/80 R63 T/L 2 55/80 R63 T/L 2 59/80 R63 T/L 2 New New New 46/90 R57 T/L 2 50/90 R57 T/L 2 53/80 R63 T/L 2 18.00 R33 T/L 2 24.00 R35 T/L 2 9
