Features and Benefits of Goodride CM986
- Open shoulders for better traction
- Deep grooves boost the self cleaning ability
- Optimized siping increases gripping power
- Numerous tread blocks maximize stability
- Resilient sidewalls offer protection
- Rigid internal structure withstands heavy loads
Starting off, the Goodride CM986 features a non directional tread pattern that increases surface contact and traction in all weather conditions. The high number of blocks creates lots of biting points with the road, easily propelling the truck forward when accelerating. Moving on, the rational sipe distribution maximizes the tread's biting edges, further boosting gripping power and shortening the braking distance. In addition, the sipes contribute to better heat evacuation, preventing overheating and premature wear. Besides, the open shoulders also create effective airflow to minimize heat buildup on longer trips during hot weather. Equally important, the shoulder blocks improve lateral traction, making it easier to take sharp turns, especially on slippery roads.
Furthermore, the deep grooves of the Goodride CM986 expel water and snow from the footprint to reduce the chances of slippage. This gives you safety and peace of mind on the road for a nicer driving experience. Thanks to its resilient sidewalls, the CM986 can handle high load stress without issues. Precisely, a single tire can safely carry up to 6,610 lbs, depending on size, at a maximum speed of 81 mph. At last, this model features a state of the art rubber composition that lowers the rolling resistance and minimizes wear. This leads to a longer service life and higher fuel efficiency for the truck.
