Feb. 9, 2023
The M863 all-position radial tire is designed for a range of applications and has a 4-belt construction to maximize retreadability.

Bridgestone has unveiled its M863 all-position radial tire designed for on- and off-highway fleets. It has been designed for a variety of equipment, such as highway trucks, concrete mixers, dump trucks, construction fleets, and logging trucks, according to a press release.

“When designing the Bridgestone M863, our goal was to produce an all-position tire without trading off its durability, retreadability, or performance on- and off-highway,” said Steve Hoeft, president of the commercial truck group at Bridgestone Americas. “We believe the versatility of the M863 will maximum performance and efficiency for fleets.”
