Bridgestone Americas introduced the new Greatec M847 wide-base radial tire for urban applications.

Lower Cost of Ownership

Engineered with enduring strength and longevity, the new all-position tire is designed to provide fleets with durability, improved fuel efficiency, and lower total cost of ownership.

Bridgestone will officially introduce the Greatec M847 at Waste Expo 2023.

"Fleets that operate in high-scrub, urban areas need reliable tires to keep up with the pace of their business while also cutting their cost per mile," said Chris Tavares, Executive Director of Commercial Marketing for Bridgestone Americas. "Our team of engineers at Bridgestone designed the Greatec M847 with this in mind and have developed an innovative tire with unwavering performance and exceptional longevity."

Features and benefits of the Greatec M847 tire include:

  • A redesigned tread package with a deeper, 26/32nd design combined with an application-specific compound to deliver increased wear life and scrub resistance with 8% lower rolling resistance.
  • Stone rejector platforms and wide shoulder grooves to help prevent groove-cracking and stone damage to belts, and to enhance retreadability.
  • A continuous shoulder to provide long, even wear and reduced rolling resistance by controlling movement of the ribs and blocks during rotation.
  • Optimized WAVED BELT technology and proven TURN IN PLY design to promote wearout performance and casing durability to help deliver outstanding retreadability.

When paired with Bridgestone Bandag retreads, the Greatec M847 tire helps to reduce operating cost and environmental impacts, maximizing fleet uptime and sustainability. The Greatec M847 can also be supported by solutions like the Bridgestone Fleet Care tire-monitoring service, IntelliTire, which provides real-time data on tire pressure monitoring, temperature, and speed to detect and avoid tire issues before they happen.

The Bridgestone Greatec M847 tire is currently available in 455/55R22.5.
