Steel Breaker Bias Tire
Steel Breaker Off-the-Road tires feature breaker material which is
changed from nylon to steel in order to resist cutting and cut bursting.
Bridgestone Steel Breaker Off-the-Road tires are widely used on loaders at
mining and quarry sites, loaders and shuttle trucks in underground
mines, and also on log loaders.
Side Steel Breaker Bias Tire
In this tire the steel breaker extends to the sidewall of the tire to protect
it against damage. The construction is similar to that described above.

CUSTOMER-TESTIMONIALS
LKAB is the leading iron ore mining company in Europe. We work in some of the most
demanding underground environments in Sweden. By choosing Bridgestone premium tyres
for our large earthmover feet we have been able to minimise both our running costs and
downtime. This is why Bridgestone is our key supplier of high performance earthmoving tyres
for more than 15 years.
Tord Nordvall (Maintenance Engineer) - Company: LKAB
Vast quantities of rock are mined and transported around the clock every day at Aitiks open pit
mine. The deposit consists of chalcopyrite, pyrite yielding copper, gold and silver.
Aitik is also home to some of the largest machines in the world. Here you will fnd rock-trucks that
weigh 570 tones when fully loaded - the wheels alone are 4 meters in diameter. There are shovels
with buckets that can hold up to 45 cubic meters of rock and wheel loaders that weight 190 tones.
Bridgestone is one of our suppliers at Boliden Aitik for Giant Tires since 2011, with good
performance.
Anders Lindgren (Procurement Manager) - Company: Boliden
Gessen Tiefbau is an open pit mining subcontractor. Our loaders are on duty around the clock,
seven days a week, a real challenge for the tyres.
We have good experiences with the Bridgestone 26.5 R25 VJT. I especially appreciate the good ride
comfort and the excellent stability. For our company, the durability of the tyre is one of the crucial
aspects. This explains why almost all of our machines are running on Bridgestone.
Detlef Wagner (Dispatcher) - Company: Gessen Tiefbau GmbH
Celtic Energy is one of the leading surface mining companies in South Wales producing coal
for domestic, industrial and electricity generation. We work in some of the most demanding
environments in the UK and by choosing Bridgestone premium tyres for our large earthmover feet
we have been able to minimize both our running costs and downtime.
Hew Richards (Group Director) - Company: Celtic Energy
As one of the largest operators of heavy earthmoving machinery in Europe and the biggest
producer of surface mined coal in the UK, Scottish Coal demand performance, reliability and
excellent support from our suppliers and their products. This is why Bridgestone have been our
key supplier of premium earthmover tyres for the last 10 years.
Andrew Foster (Managing Director) - Company: Scottish Coal
Bridgestone tyres wear less than competitors brands. The tyres now are softer and bounce
less than before. The pattern-block has a lot of grip and does not generate any vibration. The
tyres offer very good grip on the fat surface of the cut granite-blocks.
MANOLO LOPEZ RODRIGUEZ (Fleet Chief) - Company: DAVID FERNANDEZ GRANDE
(Granite Quarry)
Bridgestones VMTP-pattern is guaranteed to perform in all conditions and environments. The
characteristics of the VMTP allow us to work for hours in changing conditions. This explains why we
have chosen Bridgestones VMTP to run our daily business.
Oscar Ordoez (Purchasing Manager) - Company: Transportes Peal (Mining)
BDX the market leading Construction and Logistics Company offers comprehensive solutions
in the construction and logistics sector. We work across the country with North Sweden as our

CUSTOMER-TESTIMONIALS
LKAB is the leading iron ore mining company in Europe. We work in some of the most
demanding underground environments in Sweden. By choosing Bridgestone premium tyres
for our large earthmover feet we have been able to minimise both our running costs and
downtime. This is why Bridgestone is our key supplier of high performance earthmoving tyres
for more than 15 years.
Tord Nordvall (Maintenance Engineer) - Company: LKAB
Vast quantities of rock are mined and transported around the clock every day at Aitiks open pit
mine. The deposit consists of chalcopyrite, pyrite yielding copper, gold and silver.
Aitik is also home to some of the largest machines in the world. Here you will fnd rock-trucks that
weigh 570 tones when fully loaded - the wheels alone are 4 meters in diameter. There are shovels
with buckets that can hold up to 45 cubic meters of rock and wheel loaders that weight 190 tones.
Bridgestone is one of our suppliers at Boliden Aitik for Giant Tires since 2011, with good
performance.
Anders Lindgren (Procurement Manager) - Company: Boliden
Gessen Tiefbau is an open pit mining subcontractor. Our loaders are on duty around the clock,
seven days a week, a real challenge for the tyres.
We have good experiences with the Bridgestone 26.5 R25 VJT. I especially appreciate the good ride
comfort and the excellent stability. For our company, the durability of the tyre is one of the crucial
aspects. This explains why almost all of our machines are running on Bridgestone.
Detlef Wagner (Dispatcher) - Company: Gessen Tiefbau GmbH
Celtic Energy is one of the leading surface mining companies in South Wales producing coal
for domestic, industrial and electricity generation. We work in some of the most demanding
environments in the UK and by choosing Bridgestone premium tyres for our large earthmover feet
we have been able to minimize both our running costs and downtime.
Hew Richards (Group Director) - Company: Celtic Energy
As one of the largest operators of heavy earthmoving machinery in Europe and the biggest
producer of surface mined coal in the UK, Scottish Coal demand performance, reliability and
excellent support from our suppliers and their products. This is why Bridgestone have been our
key supplier of premium earthmover tyres for the last 10 years.
Andrew Foster (Managing Director) - Company: Scottish Coal
Bridgestone tyres wear less than competitors brands. The tyres now are softer and bounce
less than before. The pattern-block has a lot of grip and does not generate any vibration. The
tyres offer very good grip on the fat surface of the cut granite-blocks.
MANOLO LOPEZ RODRIGUEZ (Fleet Chief) - Company: DAVID FERNANDEZ GRANDE
(Granite Quarry)
Bridgestones VMTP-pattern is guaranteed to perform in all conditions and environments. The
