The RoadMaster RM170+ is an excellent tire choice for commercial pick-up and delivery applications. Despite being designed for the steer and trailer axle, this model can be used on all axles without problems. Thanks to its innovative structure, the tire provides high stability and control in your operations, making it a great partner for success.
RoadMaster RM170+ Features and Benefits
- Handles high speed driving at up to 87 mph
- Wide footprint maximizes stability
- Optimized tread pattern delivers long and even wear
- Special V shaped siping
- Innovative stone ejector platforms
Primarily, the RoadMaster RM170+ features a large footprint combined with a ribbed tread design to increase surface contact and stability. The center ribs improve handling accuracy, giving up crisp control over the truck and its trailer. Aside from that, these ribs create numerous biting edges with the road to ensure the best traction and the highest gripping power. With the help of sipes, the tire confidently grips the road in wet and dry conditions. The sipes also combat heat buildup to reduce the risk of slippage when the weather is not on your side. Moreover, the four wide linear grooves expel water from the footprint, minimizing the chances of aquaplaning on wet surfaces.
What's more, the RoadMaster RM170+ is equipped with stone ejectors at the base of the grooves that prevent rock drilling and uneven wear. The closed shoulder design promotes regular wear and boosts stability when taking sharp turns. Moving on, the reinforced sidewalls upgrade the load capacity, allowing a single tire to lift up to 5,675 lbs, depending on size. The sidewalls also protect the rim from lateral impacts that might cause downtime. Thanks to its advanced rubber compound, this model is highly fuel efficient. The rubber formula lowers the rolling resistance, thus reducing fuel usage for the truck. Its rigid internal structure resists deep cuts and punctures, allowing for more retreads. Lastly, this tire is available for purchase in many sizes with rim diameters of 22.5" and 19.5".
