* Higher-rated option a direct result of implementing customer and dealer feedback
In-field feedback prompts design changes
Titan's decision to introduce a 2-star rating on the TGS2 tire was driven by dealer feedback and customer demand. Dealers noticed recurring tire issues caused by overloaded graders and loaders but didn't have a stronger-rated tire in the same size to offer instead. The feedback was passed along to Titan, prompting the development efforts to move the TGS2 tires to a 2-star rating.
"We are thrilled with the positive response from our customers on these 2-star TGS2 tires," said
Strong, durable tire for multiple applications
The 2-star TGS2 tires are particularly suitable for use on loaders and graders, such as a Cat 120 motor grader or a
Ideal tread depth -- The tread depth is shallower than higher-rated tires, which reduces heat buildup, but deep enough to tackle a variety of terrains. This is particularly suitable for municipal loaders that are commonly used for trash and brush cleanup.
Steel-belted layers -- Available in the 17.5R25, the TGS2 features steel-belted layers that enhance cut resistance and reduce the tire's tread wear, making it ideal for applications requiring optional attachments and increased workloads in harsher environments.
Multipurpose tire for all-weather use -- Since the TGS2 is an all-weather tire, it can effectively tackle multiple jobs for both graders and loaders. This allows for a cost-effective solution for municipalities looking to maximize their budgets with a dependable tire through all four seasons.
Additional sizes of the TGS2 line are expected to be released with a 2-star rating later this year.
