CV Show: GT Radial rolls out new urban bus tyre

Tyre specialist GT Radial has announced it will be showcasing its first, all position urban city-bus tyre at the CV Show.

The GAU861 has been designed with an extra reinforced sidewall protector to ensure maximum resistance to curbing and impact damage, while a unique tread pattern with a 20.2mm depth ensures good mileage performance combined with comfort and reduced noise, the company claims.

Available initially in 275/70R22.5, the tyre can be used in both steer and drive positions on both 4×2 and 6×2 configurations and is M+S marked indicating excellent traction in mud and snow conditions.

In addition, GT Radial will use the show to promote its recently launched commercial vehicle roadside service assistance programme, GT Assist. Operating throughout the UK and Republic of Ireland and working in collaboration with the 180 sites in the dealer network, GT Assist offers a maximum 90 minute response time, 365 days a year.

The programme is managed by RAC Commercial Assistance (RACCA), who will take the initial breakdown call and find the nearest dealer who has both the correct product and capability to attend the scene within the strict timescale, and Infleet, who will handle all back office functions.
