Goodyear has expanded its portfolio of Dunlop brand truck tires with the Dunlop SP348, an all-position steer tire for regional fleet, school bus and pickup-and-delivery applications. Features include a deep tread that helps provide more miles to removal, a rugged casing design, an enhanced shoulder rib for improved scrub resistance and protection against curbing abrasions, and stone ejectors in grooves that help resist cuts and punctures.
