Tires for parking lot sweeper application
Posted by Roger from Hood River, OR, US on January 22, 2009
Hello,
I am a sweeping contractor who owns a Schwarze S-348I sweeper on a 2006 GMC W4500 chassis. The OEM tires are LT215/85-16 (load range E).
I’ve gone through 3 sets of tires in the first 24,000 miles of use, including the last set of BF Goodrich Commercial T/A’s that have a 50,000 mile warranty.
I’m looking for a better solution, either longer life tires or more inexpensive replacements. Can you recommend anything from the Goodyear commercial line, either new or retreads?
Thanks
We have two tires that might fit your needs. Our G947 RSS and G949 RSA (both with ArmorMax Technology) are available in the size and load range you need. Both are steel casing/steel belted tires. With steel casings, they are likely to be retreaded two or three times. I'm not really sure which tread pattern would best suit the needs of a sweeper so, I suggest you consider both. Info on thise tires is available on our website www.goodyer.com/truck
