V-Steel Highway Service 3 (VHS3) Bridgestone tire is for mobile and all-terrain cranes. The high-speed radial tire is designed for lifting heavy loads and when moving between on- and off-the-road environments. It is available in size 445/95R25 174F.
The tire is U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) approved, meeting the safety standards set by the DOT. The VHS3 tire outpaces its predecessor, the VHS2 tire, in several categories and will officially replace it in Bridgestone’s portfolio. Upgrades include:
- Advanced rubber compound technology and innovative sidewall construction, reducing heat buildup, minimizing irregular wear, and extending tire life by 12%1.
- Wide grooves and extended lugs in the tread design offer improved grip, stability, and wear across highways and off-road terrains.
- A redesigned casing features a lighter belt, bead structure, and shoulder design to help reduce fuel consumption while maintaining load capacity.
