BFGoodrich Cross Control S 385/65R22.5 158K

Built for the grind, the BFGoodrich CROSS CONTROL S 385/65R22.5 158K is a tough steer/all-position tyre for mixed on/off-road work. Its cut- and chip-resistant compound and reinforced sidewalls shrug off kerbs, rocks and debris, while stone ejectors help prevent drilling for fewer repairs and more uptime. A robust, retreadable casing delivers long life, and the tread design balances confident on-road handling with grip on sites, gravel and mud. If you want dependable durability and control to keep your truck earning, the Cross Control S is ready. Order today.

Cut-and-chip resistant compound. The B F Goodrich Cross Control S uses a high tear-strength, cut- and chip-resistant tread compound engineered for mixed on/off-road steer duty. Its optimised polymer–filler network resists crack initiation and propagation on sharp chip seal and quarry aggregate, limiting chunking that accelerates wear. A robust undertread gauge and tough block base distribute impact energy and help prevent stone drilling into the belt package. The result is longer tread life on metal roads and construction sites, fewer casing injuries to the tyre, and a lower cost per kilometre for demanding New Zealand fleets.

Stone ejector tread design. Purpose-built stone ejectors at the groove bases actively purge embedded gravel, preventing drill-through and belt perforations that can compromise the casing. Tapered grooves and raised ramps generate outward shear forces at contact patch exit, lifting stones before they reach belt edge depth. Keeping grooves clear preserves water evacuation capacity, reduces localised heat build-up from trapped debris, and maintains consistent footprint pressure. That protects the B F Goodrich Cross Control S casing, boosting retreadability and uptime across logging, quarrying and construction applications.

Reinforced all-steel casing. An all-steel radial casing with reinforced belt-edge wrap and a high-strength bead bundle provides excellent structural stiffness and impact resistance under heavy steer-axle loads. Extra sidewall gauge and buttress protection help absorb curbing and scrub in urban tipper and mixer work, reducing ply fretting and air loss events. High-tensile steel cords with optimised cord density distribute stress evenly across the crown and sidewall, mitigating fatigue cracking and belt-edge separations. This durable tyre foundation supports multiple retread cycles and keeps the B F Goodrich Cross Control S in service longer for lower total cost of ownership.

Cool-running base layer. A cap–base tread architecture pairs a traction cap with a low-hysteresis base compound that wicks heat away from the crown into the airflow, reducing operating temperatures in the casing. Lower internal temperatures slow rubber oxidation and adhesive degradation at belt edges and in the bead area, minimising separation risk during sustained braking on alpine descents or high ambient summer runs. Improved thermal stability helps maintain inflation pressure and reduces rolling resistance for fuel efficiency, without compromising chip resistance or scrub tolerance. The B F Goodrich Cross Control S stays cooler under load, protecting the casing for reliable retread performance.

Full-depth zigzag siping. Full-depth, interlocking zigzag sipes generate dense biting edges for wet, muddy and cold conditions while mechanically locking under load to stabilise the footprint at highway speed. The geometry promotes micro-shear that breaks surface water film on rain-slick chip seal, enhancing braking and steering precision on steer axles. By controlling block movement, it suppresses irregular wear modes such as river wear, feathering and cupping, extending even-wear mileage across the tyre’s life. Because the sipes persist to the base, the B F Goodrich Cross Control S retains traction deep into wear, delivering consistent handling and safety from new to removal.
