Atlas has some tire options that are built to withstand heavy loads, frequent stops and starts, and various road conditions that come with pickup and delivery driving. For instance, their new AW-09 is designed to fit all axle positions of buses and the steer/trailer position of trucks involved in regional pick up and delivery applications.
Firstly, the Atlas AW-09 has a modern five rib tread pattern for superior traction force and road contact. The main three ribs evenly distribute load pressure, supporting up to 7,390 lbs per single tire. Also, these ribs improve control and allow for easy maneuvering of the vehicle on regional roads and highways. Four grooves with a unique design channel away water from the footprint, upgrading wet performance for more safety on rainy days. The closed shoulder with a special lateral pattern promotes even wear and looks stylish at the same time. Rounded sidewalls shield the rim from road hazards to extend its service life. An advanced rubber formula minimizes wear and reduces the rolling resistance, thus optimizing fuel usage. Moreover, the rational sipe placement adds extra biting edges for better traction and vehicle stability.
Above that, the Atlas AW-09 comes in a large variety of sizes for all needs and pockets. Some of the most popular ones are 205/75R17.5 and 245/70R19.5. Besides, various ply rating options up to 18 and speed indexes of J and M apply, depending on the size.
