Goodyear’s mid-tier long-haul tire line

Goodyear’s new mid-tier Marathon tire line for long-haul fleets includes the Marathon LHS, Marathon LHD and Marathon LHT. The Marathon LHS is suited for the steer position and features a five-rib construction to help provide uniform wear and long tire life; pressure distribution grooves to help promote even wear; enhanced tread compounds for SmartWay-verified fuel efficiency and low cost per mile; a steel belt construction to help balance fuel economy and mileage; and lateral grooves and rib-edge sipes to help enhance traction in all weather conditions. The tire is available in size 295/75R22.5 (load ranges G and H) and will be available in size 11R22.5 (load ranges G and H) in June and sizes 285/75R24.5 (load range G) and 11R24.5 (load ranges G and H) in July.

Designed for the drive position, the Marathon LHD features the company’s proprietary Tredlock Technology with interlocking microgrooves to help stabilize the tread for more miles to removal; semi-solid shoulder ribs to help provide long life; highly siped center rib and lateral grooves to offer excellent all-season traction; and enhanced tread compounds for SmartWay-verified fuel efficiency and low cost-per-mile. The tire is available in size 295/75R22.5 (load range G) and will be available in size 11R22.5 (load range G) in June. Sizes 285/75R24.5 (load range G) and 11R24.5 (load ranges G and H) will be available in December.

The Marathon LHT, designed for the trailer position, contains a strong casing construction to help enhance tire life, toughness and retreadability; a protective shoulder compound that helps guard the tire’s outer tread from curb damage; and fuel-saving compounds to help reduce energy loss and achieve SmartWay-verified performance. The tire is available in size 295/75R22.5 (load range G) and will be available in size 11R22.5 (load range G) in June and sizes 285/75R24.5 (load range G) and 11R24.5 (load range G) in July.
