Commercially viable Double Coin drive tire is SmartWay-verified
Bridgestone R283A Ecopia is durable and fuel efficient
The Double Coin RLB450 drive position tire is SmartWay-verified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use on a line-haul Class 8 tractor trailer. The regional/long-haul drive-position tire is an ultra-premium tire designed to deliver superior traction in all weather conditions, with the added benefit of fuel efficiency, the company says. The tire features an open shoulder design, 26/32-inch tread depth, diagonally placed tread blocks and four steel belts. Its multi-extruded tread package promotes cooler running, which preserves the integrity of the casing. The RLB450 is available in eight sizes and G, H, J and L load ranges. DOUBLE COIN HOLDINGS LTD.

Advanced features deliver durable wear life and fuel efficiency for the Bridgestone R283A Ecopia steer tire for long haul and regional haul service. The company says the R283A Ecopia is designed to deliver 21% longer wear life and 3% better rolling resistance than its predecessor, the R283A. An “IntelliShape” sidewall design utilizes less bead filler volume, and thus reduces tire weight and minimizes rolling resistance for enhanced fuel efficiency. The tread compound works with Bridgestone’s patented NanoPro-Tech polymer technology which limits energy loss and contributes to longer wear life. The tire is EPA SmartWay-verified and California Air Resources Board (CARB) compliant. It’s available in sizes 295/75R22.5, 285/75R24.5, 11R24.5 and 11R22.5. BRIDGESTONE AMERICAS INC.

Camso WHL 775 built for waste applications The Camso WHL 775 is a high performance tire built to excel in severe conditions. Developed as a solution for harsh conditions in waste, recycling, demolition and scrap yard applications, the Camso WHL 775 has an extra deep L5 lug tread for enhanced durability and protection against flats on extreme mixed and hard surfaces. The contoured lug base promotes material ejection and defends against cracking. Camso says the robust carcass improves stability and the heavy-duty sidewall construction resists side impacts and deformation under heavy loads. A bias L5 tire, the WHL 775 is especially relevant for those customers looking to flat-proof their tires with urethane fill. CAMSO INC. Quik-Link: (800) 687-1557, ext. 21161 www.mtdquiklink.com/21161

Hunter is ready for twin-steer alignments Hunter Engineering Co.’s WinAlign HD system is capable of measuring and aligning twin-steer vehicles. The updated version of WinAlign HD includes two sensors on the reference (rear) axle and two sensors on each steering axle to ensure that they are timed to turn at the exact same rate while simultaneously ensuring parallelism. The company says six-sensor technology makes this the only system in the world that maintains its reference through the entire procedure, eliminating sources of error that previously existed while also increasing speed and efficiency. WinAlign software version 14.4 includes on-board training to guide the technician through the alignment process. HUNTER ENGINEERING CO. Quik-Link: (800) 687-1557, ext. 21165 www.mtdquiklink.com/21165
