NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Bridgestone Americas Inc. has introduced the Bandag BDR-AD3 retread for package and last-mile delivery (LMD) applications.
"The P&D (package and delivery) and LMD segments are a vital component to the supply chain and require a unique tread product to stay on the roads, with substantial improvements in runout and cost per mile," said Steve Hoeft, president of Bridgestone Americas' commercial truck group. "The BDR-AS3 meets the needs of these applications with its durable and dependable design."
The BDR-AS3 features a non-directional tread design with 22/32nd-inch tread depth that offers an 18-percent improvement in wear over the Bandag BDR-AS.1, according to Bridgestone.
The 3D siping of the tread is designed to allow for maximum grip "down to the pull points" for all-season traction. The tread also carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol with a traction index 73-percent higher than the required certification.
