BFGoodrich Cross Control D 315/80R22.5 156K

The BFGoodrich CROSS CONTROL D 315/80R22.5 156K is a heavy-duty on/off-road drive tyre built to conquer worksites and rough Kiwi roads. Its cut- and chip-resistant compound and aggressive open-shoulder tread deliver bite and self-cleaning traction on gravel, mud and forestry tracks, while stone ejectors and robust sidewall protectors help shield the casing from damage. A reinforced, retreadable construction and deep tread provide long, even wear and lower cost per kilometre, with confident wet-road braking. Ready to work when you are—fit the BFGoodrich CROSS CONTROL D 315/80R22.5 156K and keep your fleet moving.

Aggressive open-shoulder lugs. The BFGoodrich Cross Control D 315/80R22.5 156K drive-axle tyre uses wide, staggered lugs with open shoulders and tie-bar reinforcement to maximise mechanical keying on loose aggregate and mud; a high void ratio expedites self-cleaning while lateral notches and chamfered leading edges increase biting-edge density under torque, improving launch traction and braking on unsealed sites. Block-stiffening geometry and multi-step siping mitigate heel–toe wear by stabilising lug deformation, maintaining uniform contact pressure for predictable handling on sealed transitions between job sites.

Cut-resistant tread compound. A carbon black–rich, cut- and chip-resistant compound with optimised polymer crosslink density, anti-ozonant protection, and high tear strength resists chunking on sharp river gravel, demolition debris, and quarry rock encountered in mixed service. By lowering crack initiation and propagation at the lug base and groove edges, the Cross Control D protects the belt package from impact-induced stress risers, preserving casing integrity for multiple retreads and reducing unplanned downtime in high-scrub construction duty.

Stone ejector platforms. Integrated stone ejector ribs and tapered groove geometries actively release trapped stones, reducing stone drilling at groove bottoms and belt-edge perforation during on/off-road cycles. By lowering retained-stone residence time and contact pressure, the system limits corrosion pathways and fretting at steel cords, improves air retention over long service intervals, and helps maintain even wear, which translates into more reliable mileage and reduced casing damage for retread programmes.

Reinforced all-steel casing. An all-steel radial casing with heavy-gauge belts, a robust body ply, and high turn-up construction around a stiff bead apex delivers excellent lateral rigidity and impact resistance under high axle loads. Additional chafer reinforcement and shoulder buttressing distribute sidewall shear from curbing and ruts, while improved belt-edge insulation and skim-stock adhesion reduce thermal/mechanical stress concentrations, enhancing stability at highway speed, protecting against ply separations, and boosting retreadability for lower total cost of ownership.

Deep cap-base tread. A deep tread depth paired with a two-layer cap/base design combines a traction-optimised cap with a low-hysteresis, heat-dissipating base to manage temperature during long sealed-road transfers between sites. The lug geometry and footprint pressure distribution curtail irregular wear and reduce heat build-up at belt edges, helping the BFGoodrich Cross Control D 315/80R22.5 156K maintain consistent traction and casing durability across mixed-duty cycles, from wet clay to hot chipseal, for dependable service life in New Zealand conditions.
