Bridgestone is re-introducing its Dayton medium truck tire line this year. The company says commercial market needs combined with renewed interest from drivers, small fleets, and managers pushed the revival of the line, which was retired in 2011. The tires are said to offer small fleets and independent drivers sought-after quality at a lower cost.

Engineered with a “quality” casing, these Dayton tires offer “excellent” retreadability, says Bridgestone, and are available for steer, drive, and trailer applications.

The Rib Radial all-position tire is designed for steer applications in long and regional haul service. The Radial Metro all-position tire is designed for steer applications in regional haul and pick-up and delivery service. The Drive Radial Deep Skid is a drive-axle tire designed for high-scrub applications in long and regional haul, as well as pick-up and delivery service. Radial Highway Service tires are designed for tandem and single-axle trailer applications in long and regional haul, as well as pick-up and delivery service. Each of the four applications comes in a variety of sizes.
