Maximize your fleet's fuel efficiency by equipping it with SmartWay verified tires such as the Samson GL285ST. This model is designed for the trailer axle and ensures high stability and handling accuracy in various weather conditions. Also, it is suitable for regional and long haul applications thanks to its innovative structure.
Starting off, the Samson GL285ST comes with a five rib tread pattern that increases surface contact and prevents wobbling. The three center ribs improve the steering performance, making sure the trailer follows the towing truck with high accuracy and doesn't sway. Moreover, the innovative siping distribution adds plenty of extra biting edges that enhance grip and combat heat buildup to avoid overheating on longer trips. Thanks to its four wide linear grooves, this tire has a strong self cleaning ability. The channels expel water from the footprint to reduce the chances of slippage on wet roads, thus keeping the whole carriage safe.
What's more, the closed shoulder design with decoupling grooves further boosts water drainage. The shoulder ribs of the Samson GL285ST fight off irregular tread wear, promoting a longer rubber life and increased mileage. With its rigid sidewalls, the tire protects the rim from lateral impacts while maintaining stability on the road. In addition, the tough build withstands heavy loads of up to 7,160 lbs per single tire, depending on size. Lastly, this model is available in a wide range of sizes with rim diameters between 15" and 24.5", making it suitable for commercial trailers as well as special trailer applications.
