When it comes to steer position tires for highway applications, the Otani L-88 stands out as a top choice. Combining durability, performance, and safety, this bias ply tire provides everything you need for commercial journeys. Moreover, it ensures great all season capability to unleash the full potential of your truck.
First of all, the Otani L-88 has a robust bias ply build, featuring multiple layers of durable nylon cords. This boosts its strength and stability, allowing it to withstand heavy loads and provide superb traction on highways. Next, this model is engineered especially for the steer axle position, thus offering great handling and control. The five rib tread pattern grants confident surface contact without any risks of skidding. Furthermore, four zig zag grooves expel water and slush from the footprint, offering a safe journey without aquaplaning issues.
Secondly, the Otani L-88 is built to last. The stiff sidewalls and tread compound deliver resistance against cuts, chips, and abrasions. It ensures prolonged tire life and reduces maintenance costs. In addition, the closed shoulders with a unique design combat irregular wear and improve balance while cornering. An optimized placement of sipes adds extra biting edges to make braking and accelerating as smooth as possible. At last, the tough internal build upgrades the load carrying capacity, supporting up to 9,900 lbs per single tire. It is present on the US market in a wide range of sizes from 20" up to 24" rim diameters. Note that a ply rating of up to 20 and speed indexes of F, G, and K apply to this model to suit many customer requests.
