If you are looking for the best trailer axle tire you must keep in mind tread depth, fuel efficiency, tire repositioning, type of trailer, and retreading as an option. For example, line haul services request a depth of 6/32” or more is ideal for semi trailer tires, while short distance and regional services need deeper tread than 6/32".
One of the most representative trailer axle tires from the RoadX range is RH647. This model is present in three versions, standard RH647, RH647 R3, and RH647SP. Above all, RoadX RH647 is a versatile all position tire recommended for trailer axles. It is available in a full range of sizes. RoadX RH647 R3 is an ideal regional tire option for pickup and delivery applications. While selected sizes such as 215/75R17.5, 225/70R19.5, and 245/70R19.5 RH647SP present strong sidewall protector ribs to improve mileage and lifespan. These ribs manage curb scrub damage for minimal annual costs. Solid shoulder blocks protect the tire from lateral efforts by an equal distribution of load stress. Optimized tread design provides a smooth and quiet ride. In addition, a special center rib with cross rib sipes ensures easy steering and ride comfort. All three versions have straight circumferential grooves that help to expel away water and slush.
Finally, ROADX RH647/RH647 R3/RH647SP is present on the US market in an extra wide range of sizes with the purpose to cover a generous part of commercial trucks.
