Bridgestone Americas has introduced the M863 all-position radial tire designed to help performance for on- and off-highway fleets. The new Bridgestone M863 provides a solution to equip tough trucks, concrete mixers, dump trucks, construction fleets, logging trucks and more.
“When designing the Bridgestone M863, our goal was to produce an all-position tire without trading off its durability, retreadability, or performance on- and off-highway,” said Steve Hoeft, president, commercial truck group, Bridgestone Americas. “We believe the versatility of the M863 will maximum performance and efficiency for fleets.”
With the M836, on- and off-highway fleets can utilize the same product in several different positions when a more aggressive tread is not needed. The 4-belt construction on the M863 delivers durability and a premium casing for maximum retreadability. Other key features of the M863 lineup include:
- Stone rejector platforms: Help prevent trapped stones from pushing deeper into tread grooves and piercing the belt layer, damaging and exposing belts to rust
- Block sipes: Promote traction by slicing through water for a solid grip on wet roads
- Stabilizing tie bars: Help reduce block squirm to fight irregular wear and extend tread life
- Wide flow-through grooves: Evacuate water for solid wet traction
The Bridgestone M863 is currently available in four sizes: 11R22.5, 11R24.5, 315/80R22.5 and 12R22.5, with more sizes expected to become available in 2023.
