Moreover, it excels in long haul applications, providing excellent comfort and stability in wet and dry conditions.
Features and Benefits of Goodride CR976A

- State of the art rubber compound increases fuel efficiency
- Special stone ejector platforms prevent drilling
- Speed rated for performance at up to 81 mph, depending on size

Starting off, the Goodride CR976A features five ribs that increase stability and traction in wet and dry conditions. The center ones ensure responsive steering, giving you full control over the vehicle at all times. In addition, the ribs have sipes that create extra biting edges to boost gripping power and combat heat buildup on longer trips. Equally important, the sipes shorten the braking distance while improving acceleration performance on the drive axle of buses. Moving on, the closed shoulders increase cornering precision, making it easier to take sharp turns, especially under high load stress. The smooth shoulder ribs promote even wear across the tread, leading to a longer service life.
Furthermore, the resilient sidewalls of the Goodride CR976A upgrade the load capacity, allowing a single tire to lift up to 12,775 lbs, depending on size. Moreover, the sidewalls have special protector ribs that increase durability against curb damage and other lateral impacts. The tire's deep linear grooves expel water from the patch to reduce the risk of aquaplaning on wet roads. This ensures safety on rainy days, giving you peace of mind on the road. Aside from that, the advanced rubber compound and shallow tread keep the rolling resistance low to boost fuel efficiency. A durable casing resists deep cuts and punctures, promoting more retread cycles. Lastly, this model is accessible for purchase in many size options with rim diameters of 20" and 22.5".
