In this period of time when inflation is high, saving money has its place. To improve fuel usage and CO2 engineers developed the SmartWay tires. For example, in the production of limited sizes, Blackhawk uses the latest innovations among which the SmartWay technology. Let's get to know more about one of the most outstanding models from their lineup, the BFR55 FST. This model is a steer position tire ideally suited for regional applications, P&D, and limited highway service.
This product features a broad five rib tread pattern developed to provide precise handling and excellent stability. The ribs are separated by four wide circumferential grooves that efficiently evacuate water from the tread area. These grooves benefit from a unique design and special stone ejector platforms that create high resistance against stone retention, and casing drilling. Wide contact area helps the tire to distribute the uniform weight of the vehicle and load for minimal tread damage.
Moving to the internal side, here we have a special casing structure developed to support heavy loads in specific regional road conditions. Reinforced sidewall compound deals with forces and load that press on the tread. As a result, the load arrives safely at the final point of the delivery. Finally, Blackhawk BFR55 FST is present in the US market in many popular sizes with 16, 22.5, and 24.5-inch rim diameters. Best of all, there are also ST sizes featuring all steel construction that is suitable for use in specialty trailer applications. For example, this model in ST235/80R16 and ST235/85R16 sizes is a true champion of the open road, ready to take on any challenge that comes its way.
