Before buying rib tires: continuous ribs for straight tracking
Rib tires are tires whose tread is made of continuous ribs running around the tire, separated by straight circumferential grooves, with few or no cross grooves. The ribs keep the tread stable in a straight line, so rib tires track true, wear evenly, run quietly and roll with low resistance. Rib tires give less traction than lug or block treads on snow, mud and loose ground.
Where buyers choose rib tires
- Truck steer axles use rib tires for precise steering and even wear; see steer tires.
- Trailer axles use rib tires because free-rolling axles need no drive traction; see trailer position tires.
- RVs and motorhomes use rib tires on steer axles, and often all positions, for long highway trips; see RV tires.
- Two-wheel-drive tractors use F-2 rib front tires for steering; see farm tires.
- Implements use I-1 rib tires on free-rolling wheels.
Rib vs. lug and block treads before you buy
Rib tires suit wheels that steer or roll freely on pavement. Wheels that drive the vehicle through snow, mud or loose ground need the biting edges of block or lug treads, which is why truck drive axles run lug tires and trailer axles run rib tires.
Fuel economy when buying rib tires
Rib tires roll with less resistance than lug and block treads, which saves fuel on highway miles. Many SmartWay-verified steer and trailer tires use rib treads for that reason; see SmartWay tires.
Sizes and load range to check when ordering
Rib tires are ordered by the size and load range on the current tire, such as 11R22.5 load range G for a truck steer axle, 295/80R22.5 for a motorhome or 7.50-16 for an F-2 tractor front. The axle position decides whether a rib tire is the right tread.
Buying rib tires in axle pairs
Rib tires are bought in pairs for each axle, so both sides steer and wear the same, and in full sets on trailers with several axles.
Putting rib tires in the cart with NeoTires
