The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co has a highway commercial tire equipped to handle mixed service conditions, including vocational fleets that require off-road traction.

Goodyear's Unisteel G287 MSA mixed service tire — with high-mileage tread compounds, an improved belt package, and computer-generated tread design — replaces the G286.

G287 MSA strengths include:

• Mileage. A high-mileage tread compound and wide footprint deliver up to 40% more miles to removal.

• Handling and cornering. An improved belt package, wide footprint, and flat tread radius provide up to 20% improved cornering and grip.

• Quiet ride. Proprietary tread design reduces road noise up to 15% more than the G286.

• Wet traction. A high-silica, high-mileage tread compound provides improved wet traction — up to 15% better than the G286 — and better handling at high speeds.

The G287 MSA also will be available with Goodyear's new proprietary DuraSeal technology, designed to cut repair, downtime, and tire replacement costs.

Manufactured in Goodyear's Danville VA facility, this tire will be available in 10.00R20, 11.00R20, 11.00R22, 11R22.5, 12R22.5, 11R24.5, 12R24.5, and 315/80R22.5 (plus HSS version). For more information, contact Goodyear, Akron OH.
