AKRON, Ohio, Sept. 13, 2016 – The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company will display its newest, ultra-large haulage mining tire, the RM-4B+, at its booth (#6009) during this month's MINExpo 2016 in Las Vegas, Nev.

MINExpo 2016 will run from Sept. 26-28 at the Las Vegas Convention Centre.

"The new RM-4B+ contains our latest technologies in materials, design, construction and manufacturing, and is precision-made - using our cutting-edge tire manufacturing equipment - to help mine haul trucks operate at optimal levels," said Caroline Pajot, general manager, global OTR tires, Goodyear.

"This tire represents the culmination of all we have learned over the years," she said. "We believe it will become the 'go-to' tire for large haulage mining operations."
