Putting the Yokohama RR42 to the Test at the Port of Tacoma

With over 95% percent of imported cargo entering the U.S. arriving by ship, ports play a critical role in the global supply chain. It’s at ports where containers from around the world are transferred for further distribution via inland transportation such as rail and truck and vice versa. Ports like Pierce County Terminal in Tacoma, Washington, employ a variety of equipment to keep goods moving, including straddle carriers that depend on tires like the Yokohama RR42 to keep them operating at peak levels of performance.

Wisconsin Dairy Farmer Puts the Galaxy Mighty Trac ND to the Test

Skid steers have become an integral piece of equipment on today’s dairy farms and outfitting them with the right set of tires can make a huge difference in everything from tire life and cost to equipment performance—all of which adds up to dollars at the end of the day. A Wisconsin dairy recently switched from a competitor’s skid steer tire to our Galaxy Mighty Trac ND and saw firsthand the enormous difference tires can make.

More Stable. Last Longer. 

In southern Indiana, the Dubois County Highway Department road crew mows 1,400 miles of roadside shoulders all season long, racking up 1,200 hours on each of the county’s four mowing tractors each year. Mowing on steep shoulders, carrying heavy bar
mowers, running on pavement—it’s tough duty for tires, which is why Dubois County Highway Department mechanic Max Hopf got so excited when he compared a set of Alliance 550 Multiuse radials against the department’s ag-style R-1 tires.

• Stability? Better.
• Traction? Every bit as good.
• Power hop? Gone.
• And wear? No contest.
