R238

Distribution and P&D, Bus & Coach

Premium All-Position Radial

The Bridgestone R238 is an all-position radial tire that stands up to the harshness of severe, high scrub environments in regional pickup and delivery applications. Protective features in the casing and tread design help resist damage from curbing and maneuvering scrub, contributing to long tread life. The pattern complements the Bridgestone R268 Ecopia all-position tire, which is available in larger sizes.
