Low platform trailers require special tires that have a smaller rim diameter than other commercial trailers. Even so, these tires provide the necessary durability and grip to sustain heavy loads without the risk of skidding. The LingLong LLA78 is a strong trailer tire designed for medium distances.
Primarily, this model benefits from an aggressive tread pattern that ensures excellent highway grip, even if it's raining. The main three zig zag ribs evenly spread load pressure along the tread area, supporting up to 6,005 lbs per single tire. In addition to that, four wide zig zag grooves keep water away from the footprint to reduce the risk of aquaplaning and improve wet performance. Besides, these wide channels combat heat buildup, thus extending mileage. Also, the optimized sipe placement adds plenty of biting edges that boost trailer stability, especially during sharp turns.
Moreover, the closed shoulder ribs promote even wear and increase contact with the surface for better control of the trailer. The durable sidewalls combat lateral forces to boost performance in corners, ensuring more safety. Also, the advanced rubber compound lowers the rolling resistance, resulting in less fuel usage and carbon emissions. The robust internal build allows for numerous retreads due to its durability against punctures. Finally, the LingLong LLA78 is available on the US market in a single size which is 235/75R17.5. Note that a speed symbol of J and 18-ply rating apply to this size that fits a larger area of applications.
