The Lancaster DC170 Premium Steering is a commercial, all season tire that goes on trucks and buses. It is mounted on the vehicle's steer axle and is mostly used on highways. This model offers great performance when carrying heavy loads to reach the destination.
Firstly, it is important to mention that the Lancaster DC170 Premium Steering is SmartWay verified. This means that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency determined that this tire is fuel efficient and has low rolling resistance. Moving on, the symmetric tread design sticks to the road better, whether it's dry, wet, or a bit slippery. This means the truck can drive more safely and smoothly. Also, tires can make noise when they roll on the road, but the symmetric design reduces this noise, making for a more comfortable drive.
Secondly, the closed shoulders offer great integrity and stability when braking, accelerating, or taking turns. They give more strength and hold all the things together. Adding to this, the durable sidewalls protect the lateral part from scrubbing and support a maximum of 7,160 lbs per single tire, depending on the size. Equally important, some grooves throw away water and snow for a reduced risk of sliding. This way, the driving experience becomes safer, which is very important for a big truck that carries heavy loads. Also, the wide footprint boosts grip while reducing irregular wear for a longer service life. And, the resistant rubber compound protects the Lancaster DC170 Premium Steering from damage. Finally, the available sizes on the US market come in both 22.5'' and 24.5'' rim diameter options.
