Vocations
- General Freight (Regional)
- Household Movers
- Hazardous Material Haulers
- School Buses
- Waste/Sanitation Transport
General Freight
- Tires designed for applications where vehicles spend the majority of their time on pavement with multiple stops through inter-city operations, and mostly paved roads
- Some overlap exists with other categories such as long haul, refrigerated, leasing/rental and pickup/delivery
- Regional drive tires priorities include weight carrying capacity, durability, fuel efficiency, and traction
- Tires subject to feather edge wear, cupping, excessive deflection, alternating drive tire lug wear, and tramline wear
Household Movers
- Fleets, trucks, and drivers responsible for hauling time sensitive goods over great distances through multiple locations at high to medium speeds
- Operating conditions include long haul routes (for 53' trailers) and short-medium routes (for 26' straight trucks) with periods of frequent stops
- Drive tire priorities for this vocation include serviceability, even wear, scrub resistance, and traction
- Tires subject to feather edge wear, cupping, excessive deflection, spotty wear, curb damage, and impact breaks
Hazardous Material Haulers
- Fleets that engage in the transportation of hazardous materials in regional haul, typically on primary roads
- Protection against risk to life and property while transporting these materials is the primary goal
- Hazardous Material drive tires priorities include reliability, durability, even wear, and overall traction
- Tires subject to feather edge wear, cupping, heel/toe wear, shoulder pad separation, bead tears, rim damaage, and excessive deflection
School Buses
- Bus fleets usually owned by city municipalities, primarily carrying children passengers so safety is critical
- Regional operations require high scrub resistance due to tight turns and environment
- Drive tires for buses require serviceability, even wear, traction, and scrub resistance
- Tires subject to feather edge wear, cupping, shoulder wear, spotty wear, alternating drive tire lug wear, and excessive deflection
Waste & Sanitation Transport
- Fleets and trucks operate through the collection of garbage, recycling centers and waste disposal
- Freight consists of residential waste, commercial waste as well as treatment and waste disposal
- Operating conditions include short to intermediate routes with multiple stops, generating high heat from frequent braking
