by Kerry Clines, Senior Editor Supply Making Your World Titan Tire Corp. LONG TREAD LIFE Titan Tire says its DTE4 tire offers radial construction and a deep lug tread pat- tern. Its E-4 tread depth promotes long tread life and excellent traction, while the open, non-directional tread pattern provides self cleaning and extra bite on the ground. An open center tread design helps reduce internal heat gen- eration and allows heat to more easily dissipate, reducing tire fatigue and ex- tending tire life. The tire is available in four sizes — 18.00R33, 24.00R35, 27.00R49, and 33.00R51 — and a variety of compounds. Write 1 on reader card. Yokohama Tire Corp.
