Introducing Bridgestone R260F
Bridgestone was one of the first to design a radial tire that's  a real answer for brutal, urban P&D work. R260F steer radials are the latest innovation in that line, built to deliver longer tread life and lower cost per mile in your toughest, meanest, high-scrub environments.

 


R260F deep-tread performance

Stress-relief rib sipes
Minimizes rib edge stresses to combat irregular wear on main ribs.
Equalizer RibTM design
Patented structure promotes even rib wear. This small rib absorbs irregular wear forces to fight initiation and spread of edge wear - including river and wavy wear - on the main ribs.
Groove-bottom platforms
Enhance retreadability by helping to prevent stones from lodging in grooves and drilling into belts, reducing casing life.
Thirsty cross-rib sipes
Improve wet traction by slicing through water for a solid grip on wet roads.
Solid square shoulder
Combats turning and maneuvering side forces to fight initiation and spread of shoulder wear.

Proven tread pattern
Classic, five-rib design promotes extended even wear and offers excellent wet traction.


Tough Tread • Tough Sidewalls • Tough casing • R260F/Triple-tough
A. Deeper to last longer
R260F has a 22/32" tread depth - 20% deeper than conventional rib radials - for longer wear. More tread volume means lower cost per mile, especially for fleets that experience ultra-fast wear in high-scrub environments.
B. Tougher to last longer
Scrub-resistant tread compound stands up to brutal, urban P&D work for longer tread life that cuts your cost per mile.
C. Wider to last longer
R260F distributes scuffing side forces over a wider tread surface to promote even wear. Plus, its wider design means R260F takes a full-size drive cap, preferred by most fleet operators, for even more low-cost miles.
D. Tough sidewall protection
Extra-thick ribs protect the casing by fighting damage from curbing, cuts and abrasions. If one side wears away, flip the tire over for continued protection.
E. Computer-designed all-steel casing
The R260F's casing is designed for long life and retreadability. Four steel belts and a tough steel body ply fight tread squirm to reduce irregular wear, while the top belt provides added protection against penetrating road hazards to fight flats.

The retread leader,
again and again
With a wide tread base and durable, computer-designed casing, R260F is designed to be retreaded again and again.

In fact, for 14 straight years, professional retreaders ranked Bridgestone truck radials #1 for retreadability, more first-place positions than for all other tire manufacturers combined.*

Retreaded or not, it's nice to know your Bridgestone radials are built to take the punishment of the tough, high-scrub routes you travel every day.

Prove it to yourself
Make the only test that really matters: Try the R260F on your tractors, on your routes, with your drivers and your loads - in short, in your real world.

See for yourself how R260F can give you remarkably longer tire life that cuts your cost per mile. Call your dealer today!
