Question 33
Posted by Flatcat on December 21, 2004
What is the size of a standard low profile tire?
This is a pretty broad question so forgive my a broad response. You can get a low profile tire for just about any wheel size you want. The standard truck tire is an 11R22.5 the corresponding low profile size is the 295/75R22.5.
Question 31
Posted by John on December 21, 2004
What is the average mileage life of a G647 tire in the 19.5 size used in P&D operations? ?
John -
This is too complex of a question to offer a simple number. Each P&D fleet will have a different average mileage life. The mileage is dependant on a number of issues, route factors like long runs or short runs, road conditions, and climate. Other factors such as maintenance practices and driver skill also impact mileage. The mileage distribution from fleet to fleet can vary from 5k miles to 100k miles using the same tires. So offering you an "average" number is not possible.
The G647 currently comes in two different compound options the G647 RSA which is being phased out and the G647 RSS. The RSS has a new tread compound for improved tread life which will also impact mileage.
Your best bet for selecting tires for your application is to compare different tires using similar trucks, driven on the same routes, with equally skilled drivers and you will find that the G647 performance is worthy of the Goodyear name.
