Keep fleets going strong, reliably

As the demand for reliable, high-performance truck and bus tires grows, so does the need for reinforcement solutions that go the extra mile – again and again. 

That’s why we continue to push forward with our Truck & Bus Radial (TBR) tire cord portfolio. Our TBR tire cord solutions are designed to handle even the heaviest loads and toughest road conditions. They also keep tires on the road longer with improved fuel efficiency and reliable quality, providing peace of mind and tangible value. 

With our TBR tire cord solutions, your tires stay in service longer and require less maintenance, reducing time off the road and maximizing performance across all load classes.

Taking trucks and buses further than before, safely

Superior endurance in every load class

From light-duty to the heaviest loads, our TBR tire cords offer high load bearing, high adhesion, high impact, and high fatigue level.

Every cord in our portfolio is built to withstand a variety of challenging road conditions, ensuring that trucks and buses can travel the longest distances without compromising on safety or durability. Whether ultra-tensile, high-impact, or designed for extreme elongation, each option meets rigorous standards for outstanding long-term reliability.

Higher fuel efficiency, lower rolling resistance

With the growing need for lower rolling resistance in tires, our TBR tire cords make it possible to carry more with thinner, lighter, and stronger material. The optimized construction of our cords enables fuel efficiency by reducing tire weight and drag, helping tires roll smoothly while consuming less energy. The result? A smart solution that supports long-distance travel with lower fuel costs and improved carbon footprint.

Our innovation is centered on sustainability

Our commitment to sustainability is built into every steel cord we produce. Our BeCoFree technology, awarded Tire Manufacturing Innovation of the Year at TireTech 2022, removes cobalt from the compound to improve aged adhesion and tensile strength while reducing environmental impact. This innovation exemplifies our dedication to developing more sustainable tire reinforcement solutions that help create a better tomorrow.

Groundbreaking solutions for demanding applications

  • High-load capacity: Portfolio of over 3000 N breaking load for heavy-duty tires
  • Customized options: ST/UT belt and carcass solutions to meet specific application needs
  • Enhanced protection: Options available for high impact and elongation protection, including zero-degree belts
  • Global availability: Production plants in every region of the world for quick, reliable support

When you have questions about steel cord or innovation, we know you’re looking for quick, reliable answers. That’s why our local teams are ready to respond promptly, ensuring support is always close at hand. It’s one of the many reasons leading truck and bus tire manufacturers trust us as a preferred development partner.

Competitive total cost of ownership

Our TBR tire cords are engineered to deliver exceptional value by addressing total cost of ownership from multiple angles:

  • Efficient tire production: Our stronger, lighter steel cords reduce the amount of steel and rubber needed, lowering manufacturing costs without compromising performance.
  • Enhanced fuel economy: By enabling lighter tires, our cords significantly reduce rolling resistance, leading to better fuel efficiency and cost savings for long-haul operations.
  • Extended tire lifespan: Optimized stiffness and superior rubber penetration enhance wear resistance and protect against rust and corrosion. This results in greater durability, fewer replacements, and improved ROI over the tire’s lifetime.
