For applications on country roads and regional environments, many drivers recommended using open shoulder lug pattern tires. These ensure aggressive traction in rain, mud, and snow. But for line haul, regional, and P&D highway applications it is enough a closed shoulder drive tire. Closed shoulder lug tires are developed especially with solid shoulder ribs to extend mileage and improve wear, while aggressive center blocks provide powerful traction and firm grip.
For example, RoadX CD871 R3 is a closed shoulder drive tire that features 30/32” tread depth. Coming with deep tread depth this model provides long tread life and exceptional cost per mile. Solid shoulder ribs resist the lateral forces generated in high scrub applications. In addition, three rows of aggressive tread blocks deliver superior traction and high resistance to tread squirm.
Four zigzag circumferential grooves with special full depth sipes on each center block guarantee amazing road adherence and high stability in corners. For safety reasons, engineers use durable internal construction to handle heavy loads and weather conditions. As a result, the tire is available with 14 and 16-ply ratings, which make it receive a 149 load index, which means up to 7,160lbs carrying capacity.
RoadX CD871 R3 is present on the US market in a wide range of sizes. It is a good drive axle tire for many trucks used in freight transport by box trucks, dump trucks, and tractor heads.
