Ironman I-601 EcoFT Features and Benefits
- All steel casing for higher durability and more retreads
- Anti slip properties to ensure the best traction
- SmartWay verified to prove its low fuel usage
- Deep linear grooves for excellent water evacuation
- Decoupling groove design to minimize uneven shoulder wear
- Reinforced sidewalls to handle heavy loads
Primarily, the Ironman I-601 EcoFT features a five rib tread pattern that maximizes stability and traction on regional roads. The center ribs improve handling accuracy when mounted on the steer axle, giving drivers full control over the truck at all times. In addition, the angled siping creates lots of biting edges that boost gripping power, especially in wet weather conditions. Moreover, the sipes combat heat buildup during longer trips, preventing premature wear due to overheating. Moving on, the decoupling shoulder grooves minimize irregular wear, which enhances treadlife. With its closed shoulder design, this tire provides increased stability on bumpy road sections.
What's more, the deep linear grooves of the Ironman I-601 EcoFT expel water from under the footprint, reducing the chances of aquaplaning. This ensures a safe and peaceful ride when the weather is not on your side. Equally important, the rigid sidewalls increase ride comfort and stability while withstanding constant load pressure. They also shield the rim from lateral impacts to prevent downtime and costly repairs. Thanks to its modern rubber compound, the model keeps the rolling resistance low, which reduces fuel usage for the truck. This feature makes it eligible for the SmartWay verification. Lastly, the I-601 EcoFT is available on the market in a wide range of size options with rims of 22.5" and 24.5".
