On/off-highway regional radial
Due to treatment to texturize, anodize and seal the surface of wheels, Accu- Armor aluminum wheels are resistant to scratching and scuffing, filiform corrosion, high- and low-pH chemicals
commonly used in truck washes, and com- mon chemicals used in de-icing road surfaces,
Accuride says. The wheels are also durable to exposure to heat and UV
light and resistant to chalking and fading. Accuride Wheels, accuridewheels.com, 800-823-8832. Text INFO to 50298 or visit ovdinfo.com

Bridgestone's M853, an on/ off-highway all- position radial for regional applications, combines wear resis- tance with extra load capacity for longer service, the company says. The tire features a tread pattern with inter- locking multi-edge blocks for deeper traction. The shoulder design helps combat irregular wear for longer tread life, and stone-rejecting platforms help repel rocks that can damage casings. The M853 is available in two sizes, 11R22.5 and 11R24.5, both with an "H" load rating. A third size, 12R22.5 ("H" load rating), will
be available later this year. Bridgestone, bridgestonetrucktires.com. Text INFO to 50298 or visit ovdinfo.com
