Westlake CM998 is one of the most outstanding drive axle tire produced by Westlake. It is developed for many light trucks, P&D vehicles, dump trucks, and ready mixers. This model promotes amazing performance in slow speed applications.
Firstly, Westlake CM998 comes with an all season tread compound molded into a new tread design. Open shoulder blocks add extra biting edges on snow covered roads. Pressure Distribution Optimization Technology improves road noise and wear. Special center blocks with honeycombs aspect offer high grip and optimal road stability even on wet and icy roads.
Secondly, strong casing construction reduces the tread damage for relaxed and controlled working. Deep and zigzag longitudinal tread grooves expel efficient water, snow, and mud with a great grip on the road. In addition, it has a special siping design that allows superb wet performance. This type of pattern offers relatively increased rolling resistance when the tire moves, or stops. As a result, these need extra fuel to arrive at the wanted speed. This is the reason why engineers use innovative technologies to minimize fuel usage. Moreover, independent tread blocks with enough space between them combat the stone retention and drilling for minimal operational costs.
Finally, Westlake CM998 is available in many sizes with 16, and 20-inch rim diameters with up to 20-ply rating that offers up to 8,820lbs maximum load. Westlake claims that maximum speed must be limited to 50 km/h in the summer, and 70 km/h in the winter season.
