TREADS
Goodyear Adds Wide-Base SmartWay Retreads
Goodyear, USA, is adding two SmartWay-verified wide-base retreads, the G392A SSD UniCircle and G394A SST UniCircle, to its portfolio.
“These retread products offer many of the same benefits as their new tyre counterparts, including lower rolling resistance, which is key to helping fleets lower their fuel costs,” said Brian Buckham, general manager, product marketing, Goodyear Commercial Tire Systems.
Both new products are available to fit 445/50R22.5 casings.
“Our retread products help fleets
optimise their tyre investment and are a great compliment to our expanding Fuel Max family of fuel- efficient new truck tyres,” Buckham added.
The G392S SSD and G394A SST wide-base retreads, for drive-axle and trailer applications, respectively, are produced using Goodyear’s proprietary UniCircle technology, whose spliceless design matches the shape of the tyre’s casing, the Akron- based tyre maker said. Because there is no cutting or splicing during the UniCircle tread application process, the retreads are uniform and
balanced, which helps extend casing life and mileage, Goodyear claims. The G392A SSD and G394A SST feature 24/32-inch and 12/32-inch tread depths, respectively. Both products’ tread designs help provide a uniform footprint, long miles to removal and confident handling. “Ultimately, our goal is to help fleets lower their operating costs,” Buckham said.
“For years, SmartWay verification has been an important designation for fuel-efficient new truck tyres,” Buckham said. “And it is becoming an increasingly important
classification for retread products. Fleets want optimal fuel efficiency through the full tyre casing lifecycle.”

Dobermann Brings New Tread Patterns to Europe
Having launched its new tread line last Spring on the competitive Brazilian market, Dobermann is ready for presentation on the European market. Covencaucho Industrias, thanks to over 40 years experience in precured tread production and accessories for retreading, can guarantee its Dobermann products offer a high standard of quality, reliability and performance.
High performance “safe oil” rubber compounds and a continuously evolving range meet usage needs on traction and towing axles, with constant attention on the changing requisites of the individual markets.
The 16 currently available designs are sub-divided into four ranges that reflect the various application environments:
The Highway Series was designed for use on
motorways and long journeys, with high kilometric yield, including alternatives for traction and
open axles, as well as the multi-functional “All Positions”.
The Regional Series offers versatility, reliability and
safety with specific designs for use on medium distances and local transport. The Mix Series
is a combination of designs suitable for mixed use, with optimum performance in the most severe use conditions.
The Urban Series guarantees comfort, stability and reduced noise, vital for excellent performance in urban and long-distance use.
One of Dobermann’s strengths is its logistics: its European head office in Friuli Venezia Giulia, is located in a central node for European transport thanks to the strategic position and the ports of Trieste and Koper, allows Dobermann to guarantee quick and punctual deliveries throughout the European Union, and to maintain the stock required to ensure high availability to our customers.
