Double Coin Mixed Service Tires for Construction, Waste & Refuse Fleets

Why Mixed Service Tires Are Different

Highway tires work great on smooth asphalt. But on a construction site with gravel, rebar fragments, and demolition debris, a highway tread fills up with debris, loses traction, and gets punctured. Mixed service tires solve this with three key design elements: cut-and-chip-resistant tread compounds that resist tearing from sharp objects, wider tread grooves that self-clean mud and stones, and reinforced sidewalls that shrug off curb strikes and off-road obstacles.

The industry demand for this tire category continues to grow. With U.S. construction spending projected to remain robust through the decade—driven by infrastructure rebuilds, data center construction, and housing starts—more fleets need tires that can handle mixed-duty cycles. Waste and refuse operations face their own pressure: rising collection volumes, tighter routes, and the constant abuse of landfills and transfer stations.

RR706: The All-Position Mixed Service Workhorse

The RR706 is the backbone of Double Coin's mixed service lineup. Rated for all-position use—steer, drive, and trailer axles—it's the go-to tire for waste collection trucks, dump trucks, and municipal vehicles that need one tire design across the entire rig. Its cut-and-chip-resistant tread compound is formulated specifically for the glass, metal, and construction debris common in refuse and construction environments.

Key features of the RR706 include a deep, directional tread pattern with stone ejectors built into the groove bottoms—small raised features that pop out rocks before they can drill through to the casing. The tread blocks feature tie bars that reduce squirm and irregular wear when running on pavement, while the open shoulder design maintains traction when the truck leaves the road. Double Coin recently added three new sizes to the RR706 line, expanding fitment options for more fleet applications.

RSD3: Drive Axle Mixed Service for Heavy Haul

On the drive axle, mixed service demands more than just cut resistance—it needs torque transfer. The RSD3 is a purpose-built drive tire designed for construction trucks, concrete mixers, and dump trucks that haul heavy loads onto unpaved job sites. Its aggressive lug pattern features large, chunky tread blocks separated by wide channels that clear mud and gravel with every rotation.

The RSD3 uses a directional tread design optimized for forward traction—critical when climbing loose gravel grades or powering through soft ground with a full load. The tread depth is deeper than a standard highway drive tire, extending service life in abrasive off-road conditions. Double Coin has recently expanded RSD3 sizing to accommodate a wider range of heavy-duty construction vehicles.

RSD4: Winter-Ready Mixed Service Drive

The RSD4 takes the mixed service concept and adds 3PMSF (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake) certification, meaning it meets industry standards for severe snow traction. For fleets that operate year-round in the northern U.S. or Canada—often on snow-covered roads that transition to mud in spring—the RSD4 eliminates the need to swap between all-position and winter tires seasonally.

The RSD4's tread design incorporates dense siping—small slits in the tread blocks—that bite into ice and packed snow while resisting chunking and tearing on dry pavement. The compound remains flexible at low temperatures where standard compounds stiffen and lose grip. For waste fleets in cold climates, the RSD4 keeps trucks moving when conditions get ugly.

RLB800: Severe Service for Oil Field and Extreme Duty

At the extreme end of mixed service sits the RLB800, a severe service drive tire built for oil field operations, mining support vehicles, and heavy construction equipment. This is the tire for fleets that spend more time off-road than on it—where the road surface is crushed rock, caliche, or worse. The RLB800 uses an ultra-deep tread with massive blocks that resist chunking even on the sharpest rock surfaces.

Mixed Service Tire Selection Criteria

Choosing the right mixed service tire requires evaluating several factors specific to your operation:

On/off-road ratio. If your trucks run 80% pavement and 20% job site, an all-position mixed service tire like the RR706 on steer and trailer axles paired with RSD3 on drives is a balanced setup. At 50/50 or more off-road, consider the RLB800 for drives.

Load weight. Heavier loads generate more heat in the tread. Mixed service compounds are formulated to handle higher operating temperatures than highway compounds, but exceeding the tire's load rating—especially at lower inflation pressures common on job sites—will cause rapid, irreversible damage.

Debris type. Construction sites with sharp crushed rock demand cut-resistant compounds. Waste transfer stations with glass and metal fragments call for the same. Gravel and dirt roads with rounded stone are less aggressive on tread but still benefit from stone ejectors to prevent stone drilling.

Climate. If your fleet operates through winter in snow country, the 3PMSF-rated RSD4 pays for itself by eliminating seasonal tire changes and the capital cost of a winter tire inventory.

Retreadability: Getting a Second Life

Mixed service tires see the toughest conditions, but that doesn't mean they're single-use. Many Double Coin mixed service casings are designed for retreading when the original tread wears down. Retreading a casing costs a fraction of a new tire and can reduce a fleet's tire cost per mile by 30-50%.
