Features and Benefits of Goodride CR989

To kick things off, the Goodride CR989 features a five rib tread pattern that increases surface contact and stability. The closed shoulders promote even wear across the tread, leading to a longer service life. Moreover, the shoulders improve cornering performance, helping you take sharp turns with confidence. They also feature decoupling grooves that maximize wet traction by further draining water from under the footprint. Combined with the four wide linear channels, they enhance performance on wet roads and prevent aquaplaning, ensuring safety and peace of mind.
What's more, the reinforced sidewalls of the Goodride CR989 upgrade the load capacity. Hence, a single tire can withstand weights of up to 7,160 lbs, depending on size. Equally important, the sidewalls feature special protector ribs that further enhance durability. This minimizes curb damage and abrasions from other impacts, shielding the rims and avoiding downtime. Thanks to its durable rubber compound, this tire is highly resistant to wear and tear. Also, the advanced rubber formula improves fuel efficiency by reducing the rolling resistance, leading to fewer operational costs. Lastly, this model is available for purchase in many popular sizes such as 11R22.5, 11R24.5, and more.
