Wide base tires can handle heavier loads and offer better stability, especially when driving at high speeds or making tight turns. For example, the LingLong LDL817 benefits from such features. It is a drive position tire designed specifically for regional and long haul applications.
An important aspect of the LingLong LDL817 is the wide tread area that evenly distributes load pressure, allowing for up to 10,200 lbs per tire. The special tread pattern consists of nine rows of lugs, which is ideal for heavy duty operations due to the strong traction and surface contact that it provides. The reduced weight of the tire also increases its payload, thus making this model optimal for such applications. Moreover, the innovative footprint design provides all season performance, therefore offering versatility and efficiency.
Furthermore, the LingLong LDL817 features large grooves that expel water and slush from the patch area, resulting in very low risks of aquaplaning and a powerful road grip. This is further enhanced by the smart distribution of sipes on the lugs, increasing truck stability as well. In addition, the open shoulder design combats heat buildup and improves lateral traction while promoting regular wear. Stiff sidewalls shield the rim from curb damage, thus increasing the lifespan of the tire. A strong internal structure allows for multiple retread cycles due to its durability against punctures. Besides, the modern rubber compound boosts fuel economy by lowering the rolling resistance. This model is available on the US market in one popular size which is 445/50R22.5. Keep in mind that a strong ply rating of 20 and an optimal speed index of L apply to this size to cover a large area of applications.
