Upgrade your trucking efficiency by choosing wide base tires for the trailer axle. For example, the Goodride CR931 is a reliable tire suitable for long haul and regional commercial applications. It is available on the market in popular sizes such as 425/65R22.5 and 445/65R22.5, making it a great choice for a lot of modern semi trailers.
Features and Benefits of Goodride CR931
- Wide footprint increases load capacity
- Multi rib tread pattern for stability
- Closed shoulders promote even wear
- Strong casing allows for multiple retreads
- Deep grooves enhance water drainage
- K speed index for performance at up to 68 mph
To kick things off, the Goodride CR931 has a wide contact patch that increases stability and grip. The six rib tread pattern grants superior surface contact, keeping your trailer balanced at all times. In addition, the closed shoulders improve performance during tight turns, ensuring responsive cornering and a lower risk of swaying. Equally important, the shoulder ribs promote even wear across the tread, leading to a longer rubber life. Moving on, the center ribs enhance the steering accuracy, making sure the trailer follows the truck properly. Thanks to its optimized siping, the tread has lots of biting edges that boost gripping power, especially on slippery roads.
Furthermore, the Goodride CR931 benefits from five wide linear grooves that drain water from under the footprint. This maximizes surface contact and traction in wet conditions, preventing slippage. Also, the sipes combat heat buildup during long summer trips, avoiding premature rubber damage. With its strong sidewalls, a single tire can safely withstand loads of up to 12,775 lbs, depending on size. As a wide base tire, it is not suitable for use on a dual setup. Lastly, its modern rubber compound lowers the rolling resistance, leading to higher fuel efficiency. The tough rubber materials minimize wear and tear, ensuring a longer service life.
