In general trailer tires should support the trailer axle positions in the back of the tractor's head. They allow handling heavy loads, sudden braking, and daily use. To increase the lifespan of the tire, engineers suggest respecting the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, otherwise exceeding the GVWR or allowing the load to be unevenly distributed trailer's axles will possibly overload the tires, wheels, axles, and frame, as a result, the tire and trailer components will suffer undesirable deformations. General produces a wide range of tires divided into many categories like commercial, passenger, SUV, and performance tires.
One of the most wanted tires from the commercial category is General HT Plus. This model is based on General HT. Compared with the previous version, the new HT Plus ensures 20% more mileage and up to 15% more resistance to cut, chip, and chunk. This model has a SmartWat and Greenhouse Gas Phase II compound in limited sizes. The main role of this special tread compound is to improve fuel usage, by reducing rolling resistance and abnormal wear. In addition, it provides superior resistance against cutting and chipping. For safety reasons, this model presents a superior bead and belt package designed to increase casing durability for multiple retreads and low operational costs.
General HT Plus is available for US customers in 11R22.5, 11R24.5, 295/75 R22.5, 255/70 R22.5, and 285/75 R24.5 sizes.
