Overview

The RLB980 takes the wide-base all-position concept and adds an aggressive multi-purpose tread pattern with enhanced flotation characteristics. Built for trucks that need to go wherever the job demands — pavement, gravel, dirt, mud — without stopping to change tires.

Why This Tire Matters

Some vocational trucks don't have the luxury of predictable surfaces. A truck delivering construction materials might start the day on the highway, spend mid-day on a graded gravel access road, and finish on a muddy job site. Tires that work well on one surface often struggle on another. The RLB980's aggressive tread and wide footprint provide flotation — the ability to stay on top of soft surfaces rather than sinking in — while the heavy-duty belt package maintains durability at highway speeds. For Goldtop's customers in African infrastructure projects and South American mining operations, this versatility is the difference between completing the day's work and waiting for a tow.

Key Features

• Aggressive Multi-Purpose Tread Pattern — Designed to generate traction across varied surfaces without the excessive road noise and rapid wear that dedicated off-road tires produce on pavement.
• Wide Base with Flotation Properties — The large footprint spreads vehicle weight across more surface area, reducing ground pressure and helping the tire stay on top of soft, loose, or muddy terrain.
• Heavy-Duty Belt Package — Reinforced steel belts resist the impact and penetration forces common in mixed on/off-highway use, reducing the risk of belt-related failures.
• All-Position Rating — Can be mounted on steer, drive, or trailer axles — reducing the number of tire specifications a fleet needs to stock.

Best For

Multi-surface vocational trucks (construction, mining support, oilfield); fleets operating in regions with variable road quality; operations where flotation on soft ground matters as much as highway durability.
