The Goodride AS678 is a reliable tire designed for commercial trucking operations. This model is suitable for long haul applications, offering the necessary stability and control. Although it is recommended for the trailer axle, the AS678 can be mounted on the steer axle as well without compromising performance.
Features and Benefits of Goodride AS678
- Five rib tread pattern for maximum stability
- Four linear grooves prevent slippage on wet roads
- Tough internal casing promotes retreadability
- Cross rib sipes add extra biting edges
- Resilient sidewalls upgrade the load capacity
- Fuel efficient rubber compound
Firstly, the Goodride AS678 features a five rib tread pattern that offers both traction and stability. The center ribs improve handling accuracy, making sure the trailer will follow the towing truck with utmost precision. If mounted on the steer axle, this tire will ensure crisp control over the truck, helping you drive through winding road sections with confidence. Moving on, the sipes add extra biting edges that boost gripping power. This helps shorten the braking distance, especially in wet conditions, providing a responsive ride. With the help of its four linear grooves, this model has high resistance to aquaplaning. The channels expel water from under the footprint, granting safety and control in wet conditions.
Furthermore, the closed shoulders of the Goodride AS678 promote even wear and enhance the cornering ability. This allows you to take sharp turns with higher accuracy. In addition, the shoulders increase stability on bumpy road sections, preventing wobbling. This model shields the rim from impacts thanks to its rigid sidewalls with protector ribs. Also, the sidewalls handle heavy loads without problems, carrying up to 9,090 lbs per single tire, depending on size. A modern rubber compound lowers the rolling resistance, which cuts fuel usage for the truck, leading to lower operational costs. At last, this model is available on the market in popular sizes with rim diameters between 17.5" and 24.5", fitting many modern trucks and semi trailers.
