Trailer tires are not just about brute strength, they possess a delicate balance between durability and precision. For example, the Otani K-706 is a medium duty trailer tire that ensures excellent grip, stability, and longevity. It is perfect for lowboy trailers that carry large equipment and machinery.
First of all, the Otani K-706 has some unique features that make it a top tire model for commercial applications. The innovative tread pattern with five zigzag ribs provides superb surface contact, making the trailer stable while driving. Specifically, the center ribs boost its handling precision, maintaining balance while steering or cornering. Moreover, the closed shoulders also help with this by adding extra lateral grip while promoting even wear. Combined with the stiff sidewalls that protect it from road hazards, they increase the overall lifespan of the K-706. This results in fewer maintenance costs and more peace of mind.
Secondly, the Otani K-706 benefits from deep zig zag grooves that expel water from the patch area, thus reducing the risk of skidding. They also prevent rocks from drilling into the rubber and damaging it. An optimized sipe distribution adds plenty of biting edges that offer a strong grip when braking or accelerating. Furthermore, the advanced rubber compound lowers the rolling resistance, resulting in much lower fuel usage. A durable internal build with an optimal ply rating upgrades the load capacity, supporting up to 3,305 lbs per single tire. This model is available on the US market in some sizes with a 14.5" rim diameter.
