The Bridgestone R179 is a commercial tire that's designed for use on the trailer axle of semi-trucks and is optimized for increased tread life by assuring even wear to reduce fleet operating costs. Featuring a new high-silica cap compound that ensures irregular wear resistance, increases tread life, and provides better wet grip, the 6-rib tread design of the R179 boosts water dispersion from the tread area and assures superior performance in wet conditions alongside maintaining even wear. These tread ribs also ensure smooth rolling of the tire and keep the tread noise levels reduced to 69dB. Additionally, the new closed pattern tread design of the R179 is more durable and protects the tire from cuts and chips to help increase tread life.
