    Bridgestone Commercial, a division of Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, introduced the new Bandag TR4.1 trailer retread. “The durable TR4.1 retread provides affordable and dependable wear life performance for small to medium truckload, less-than-truckload (LTL) and pick-up and delivery (P&D) fleets,” the company said.

    “When shopping for trailer tread options, fleets often have to choose between low cost and functionality,” said Ben Rosenblum, director of Bandag marketing. “The TR4.1 retread rounds out the Bandag portfolio line for trailer applications, offering a balance of price and performance.”

    According to Bridgestone, the Bandag TR4.1 retread features include:

    • Smooth and continuous shoulder that promotes uniform wear.

    • Bandag’s proven compound that contributes to long wear.

    • Circumferential grooves to evacuate water and improve traction in wet conditions.

    • Diagonal tread block edges to promote traction on wet and dry surfaces.

    The TR4.1 retread from Bandag accommodates most casing sizes used in small to medium truckload, LTL and P&D service, according to the company. It is now available through Bandag dealers in the U.S. and Canada.
