When choosing tires for mixed service trucks like refuse vehicles or dump trucks, there are several factors to remember. In general, these operate under demanding conditions and require a durable and tough set of tires that can withstand heavy loads, rough terrains, and frequent stops and starts. One of the most trustworthy tires recommended by many customers is the Ironhead IDM321. As the name suggests, this model is a drive position tire developed especially for on and off road applications.
Above all, we should point out that IDM321 features an aggressive multi lug tread with an open shoulder design. Made using the enhanced rubber compound, the tire resists cuts and chunking. Special shoulder blocks work in tandem with three rows of center blocks to deliver maximum traction performance in muddy and rocky conditions. Due to its strong pattern, it performs in demanding conditions such as mining, construction, and logging applications. The wide footprint with an optimized profile ensures superior stability and resistance to uneven wear. While the 30/32nds tread depth extends the tire's lifespan but also minimizes cost per mile. Even if it benefits from an aggressive pattern, the ride comfort on the highway is optimal.
Best of all, the Ironhead IDM321 is present on the market in two very popular sizes: 11R22.5 and 11R24.5. As a result, this model is able to cover a wide range of mixed service trucks in their demanding applications. For example, we frequently see it mounted on the following vehicles: Mack Granite, Volvo VHD, Freightliner 122 SD, and Kenworth T880.
