GI389 | Falken Tires
GI389
The new GI389 is specifically designed for waste haulers and sanitation vehicles where retreadability and treadwear for high-scrub use are key factors. Developed to perform both on and off the highway, the GI389’s updated tread design with stone ejectors minimizes stone retention to protect the belt package and casing. The robust four-rib tread pattern allows for wider ribs that withstand high braking forces, while a flat tread profile promotes longevity by evenly distributing contact pressure across the tread pattern. To ensure casing durability, a new robust bead construction and lower sidewall heat diffuser technology is incorporated to extend casing life. Engineered for stability and longevity across a wide range of conditions, the GI389 carries the load for waste and recycling fleets throughout North America.

APPLICATIONS
On & Off-highway trucks operate in the most severe conditions and require a tire that’s just as durable without sacrificing wear performance or traction. Our most extreme traction tires can be found in our mixed service lineup, all touting cut and chip resistant tread compounds.

LOWER SIDEWALL HEAT DIFFUSER
Heat Diffusers built into the lower sidewall cool the bead area, increasing casing durability for greater retreadability.
FLAT TREAD PROFILE
The flat tread profile evenly distributes contact pressure across the tread pattern for longer life.
ZIG ZAG GROOVES
Channel water for hydroplaning resistance and wet traction, adding handling stability in the wet.
SOLID OUTSIDE SHOULDER WITH CYLINDER HOLES
Allows for greater scrub resistance by creating a wide, stable outside shoulder. To reduce heat damage, cylinder holes that dissipate heat are placed around the outside rib, increasing tread life and casing durability.
ENHANCED CASING LIFE
The updated tread design with stone ejectors minimizes stone drilling and a new wide top belt improves puncture resistance.
NYLON STEEL BEAD REINFORCEMENT
Heavy-duty construction adds casing durability under heavy load conditions.
