Tyre offer for every type of use

– Protects from road hazard damage with a reinforced crown.
- The BFGoodrich CROSS CONTROL truck tyre is designed specifically for both on-road and off-road use, offering end-users a durable and cut-resistant product performance for the most demanding usage conditions which:
– Ensures high grip from new to worn-out stage with an aggressive block tread pattern.
– Maximizes the casing life with the help of an additional protective crown ply.
– Reduces the risk of damage and downtime with a special anti-cut and chip tread.
