"We are bringing back Dayton truck tires to provide a viable solution to the market— tires with proven technology that are immediately available to meet market demands," he added.

Bridgestone stated that its Dayton tires are engineered with a “quality” casing to offer “excellent retreadability” and are available for steer, drive and trailer applications:

·         Rib Radial All Position tire for steer applications in long and regional haul service
