The benefits of the R69 L-5S are improved durability by using advanced compounds that resist heat build-up and fight cuts and chips, Cut-resistant tread and longer service life.

Added protection in underground mining excavations due to a high-angle sidewall that increases thickness and decreases sidewall stress. A stronger casing and more extensive rim contact area via high tensile strength bead cores that lower the bead stress and reduce the potential for slippage.
