Professional drivers know that steer tires are the most important. These perform and influence the handling and ride comfort. In general, steer axle tires present a ribbed tread design that allows a rapid evacuation of water away from the contact area, thus putting more rubber on the road. The Goodyear G291 is not an exception. This model is a trustworthy all position tire that shows good performance in all season environments at the steer axle.
It benefits from an innovative rubber compound shaped into a five rib tread pattern. Wide and closed shoulder ribs resist lateral forces that increase uneven wear, while robust sidewalls protect against road impacts like curbs and bruises. Five ribs with four circumferential grooves between them deliver good steering responsiveness and efficient water dispersion from under the tire footprint. Special sipes on the center ribs increase road grip offering high resistance to uneven wear. Goodyear uses also a legendary casing construction to ensure multiple retreads for minimal annual costs. Advanced sidewall compound resists lateral stress offering confident handling in high scrubbing and urban services.
The G291 is available on the US market in 315/80R22.5 size with an L-load range. In addition, many drivers claim that their vehicles feel more confident and stable with this model in and out of the urban services. It is also good for construction, RV/Coach, and Emergency vehicles.
