Galgo Extends its Line
of 3PMSF Certified Treads
The DGR [Drive Galgo Regional] tread design is now part of the GALGO 3PMSF (Three Peak Mountain Snowflake Certificate) product line.
This certification is given to all
those treads that meet winter performance requirements and have successfully passed the approval tests established by the ECE 109 R Annex 10 norm, of the European Union Regulation.
The DGR [Drive Galgo Regional] design provides extreme traction in wet, snow, and muddy conditions. It features a block design with aligned sipes and an open shoulder for cooling and self-cleaning. It has a variable pitch design for noise reduction and angled blocks to reduce stone retention.
With this new addition to the GALGO 3PMSF [Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake Certificate] product line, GALGO is now able to offer 21 certified 3PMSF treads to its customers.

The RINGTREAD System combined with shearographic control – a standard processing step for all Marangoni products manufactured in Rovereto (Italy) – also guarantees absolute reliability for the retreaded Marix tyre, with no less than 5 years guarantee. Marangoni has taken on this commitment, since it can rely on the fact that production is carried out in accordance with the highest globally recognised technological standards, based on the exclusive use of quality-tested
raw materials.
Sizes available for bead-to-bead cold retreading are as follows: 315/80 R 22.5 (PD National 3 and PD Energeco 2), 385/65 R 22.5 (PT National 3 and PT Energeco 3), 315/70 R 22.5 (PD Energeco 3, PD National 3 and PD National Grip) and 385/55 R 22.5 (PT Energeco 3).
According to Marangoni, the goal is to extend the bead-to-bead cold retreading system to other sizes and profiles to satisfy customer needs and their continual requests for more performing, aesthetically perfect, retreaded tyres.
