Overview

The RR716 uses a dual-layer tread compound — a heat-dissipating base layer beneath a scrub-resistant cap — combined with added sidewall protection, all focused on the sanitation industry. It's built in a single size: 315/80R22.5 with a 22-ply rating and 10,000-lb single-tire capacity. The tread runs 24/32" deep.

Why This Tire Matters

The dual-compound approach solves the heat-vs-wear conflict. A single compound that resists scrubbing (which generates heat through friction) tends to run hot because it can't dissipate that heat quickly. A compound that runs cool typically sacrifices wear resistance. The RR716's two-layer design puts a wear-resistant compound where it contacts the road and a heat-dissipating compound beneath it — each doing what it does best. For sanitation trucks that combine constant low-speed scrubbing with occasional higher-speed segments, this thermal management extends tire life measurably. The enhanced sidewall protection addresses the curbside scuffing that defines curbside collection routes.

Key Features

• Dual-Layer Tread Compound — The upper layer resists the abrasive wear of constant low-speed scrubbing. The lower layer conducts heat away from the tread core, preventing the thermal degradation that shortens tire life. Each compound is formulated for its specific function rather than compromising on both.
• Enhanced Sidewall Protection — Thicker sidewall rubber and raised protective elements guard against the curbside scuffing that occurs at every collection stop. Sidewall damage is the most common reason sanitation tires come out of service.
• 24/32" Tread Depth — Deep enough to provide extended life in high-wear sanitation service, balanced with the thermal management of the dual-compound design.
• 10,000-lb Load Capacity (22PR) — The 22-ply construction handles the heavy front-axle loads and high gross vehicle weights typical of loaded refuse trucks.

Best For

Curbside residential waste collection fleets; sanitation trucks operating on fixed collection routes; any operation where constant low-speed scrubbing and curbside contact define the tire's working life.
