The updated Kraiburg Austria pattern programme is now available. The 2015/2016 product catalogue is laid out in the usual way in that the patterns are listed in ascending number order. The division into groups depending on applications does not feature in the print version but customers who are interested in this version can still download it from the Internet. The list still contains the labelling of the core range, i.e. the tread sections, which the retreading specialist always has in stock as far as possible. The relevant patterns and widths are in grey boxes. As always, the Application Information System (AIS) is included as well as additional technical
information for the use of the patterns.
Naturally, all the new Kraiburg designs are included in the
latest programme, such as the
new K701 winter specialist, a home-grown traction tread with open shoulders. Designed as an all-weather tread, its deep
siping guarantees the optimum transfer of tractive forces in
winter, even in extreme
Scandinavian conditions. The optimised interaction between tread bars and ribs and the compound, designed specifically for this tread pattern, provide an excellent hard- wearing surface on the K701. In addition to the dimensions of 250 and 260 mm which can already be supplied, the width 270 mm will also be available in time for the start of the winter season. The print and online versions of the pattern programme can be downloaded from the website at www.kraiburg- austria.com.
Bandag Introduces the U-AP 001 Urban All Position Tread
Following the Bridgestone U-AP 001 launched in 2014, the all-new Bandag U-AP 001 urban all-position tread signals the arrival of a new benchmark in urban retreads, promising the “Perfect City Match” and a reduced total cost per km for city-based operators. Built with city buses and waste- collection vehicles in mind, the Bandag U-AP 001 delivers impressive mileage performance, all-season safety (M+S marking) and outstanding resistance to irregular wear to help fleet owners get the most out of their tyres and their business on city roads. As such, this new standard in retreads fits perfectly within Bridgestone and Bandag’s joint Total Tyre Life strategy.
Bridgestone Bandag has a global experience in tyres and retreading and the corporate expertise places the company at the top of the knowledge tree. That is why the new Bandag U-AP
001 urban all-position tread is built to meet the challenges of divergent road surfaces, short and sharp turns,
unpredictable payloads and constant stop-and-start driving while still offering excellent comfort, safety and above all mileage. In fact, the Bandag U-AP 001 is claimed to perform for to 25 per cent longer, adding up to considering savings on both replacement and operational costs.
The Bandag U-AP 001, however, is not only built to perform longer but also to perform better. Incorporating the latest premium tread technology, such as Bridgestone’s “Dual Sipe” design, these treads offer excellent handling in all road and weather conditions drivers are likely to encounter in the urban environment, which includes excellent traction on wet and wintery roads, as attested by the M+S marking.
The Bandag U-AP 001 retread fits seamlessly within Bridgestone’s Total Tyre Life: designed to help fleet operators maximise their return on investment and lower the total cost per km.
While the new Bandag U-AP 001 retreads make an excellent fit with the corresponding Bridgestone U-AP 001, they can also be used to upgrade other branded casings as well in sizes 245/70R19.5, 265/70R19.5, 305/70R19.5, 11R22.5, 12R22.5, 295/80R22.5, 275/70R22.5, and 305/70R22.5.
