Professional drivers know that logging thousands of miles under heavy loads and various driving conditions in one run requires trustworthy and durable tires. For this reason, Cosmo produces a complete lineup of the best tires for commercial long haul applications. One of the most outstanding models is the CT518 Plus. This model is an innovative tire suitable for all positions in long haul environments. Due to it being developed in many popular commercial sizes, it can cover a wide range of buses and semi trailer trucks in their daily routines.
It is crucial to mention that CT518 Plus benefits from an innovative rubber compound made using the latest innovations and best materials in the tire industry. The best rubber compound and symmetrical pattern design with five continuous ribs improve rolling resistance for more money savings. Closed shoulder blocks increase road stability for a controlled and safe working process. On the other side, a wide footprint distributes uniform forces when the truck accelerates, turns, and stops. As a result, the specialized tread compound resists abnormal wear formations, thus extending its usability and lifespan. Additionally, the pattern benefits also from special elements that prevent heat build-up along the tread area, which significantly slows the tread wear rate down. While the reinforced casing with special steel belts deals with heavy loads and road hazards, therefore ensuring multiple recaps.
In general, Cosmo CT518 Plus is designed in many sizes. The most popular are the following: 11R24.5, 11R22.5, and 285/75R24.5. Depending on the size, the tire can carry up to 6,940 lbs at up to 75 mph. It is a common fitment for Mack Anthem, Western Star 57X, Kenworth T680, and Volvo VNL.
