A new fleet tire tread, DV-MM, has been introduced by Vipal Rubber. Made with a compound of balanced properties, the tread is stated to offer good on- and off-road performance.
Vipal also says that the tread offers greater resistance to chipping and puncture, which promotes greater protection for the casing, enabling a longer-lasting retread.
The DV-MM features a special groove and ejectors that prohibit the retention of stones and other objects, preserving the tire casing. The blocks are designed to improve balance and stability and promote the reduction of irregular wear, while the grooves in the blocks provide moderate traction.
The tire has been designed to address the needs of fleets – greater resistance to stone-drilling, breakage and damage caused by sharp objects; suitability for trailer axles and moderate drive axle; and packed with excellent mileage performance.
“Vipal has always invested in innovation and technology. We believe that this is one of the secrets to maintaining continuous development, creating more efficient products and processes to meet the demand of the global market,” said Leandro Rigon, international business director at Vipal Rubber.
