The RoadMaster RM170 is a reliable tire designed for the trailer axle. Ideal for low platform trailers, this model provides great stability and gripping power in commercial operations. It is available in a wide range of sizes from 17.5" to 22.5" rim diameters, making it a good option for a wide range of semi trailers.
Features and Benefits of RoadMaster RM170
- Closed shoulder design maximizes stability
- Four deep linear grooves prevent slippage on wet roads
- Wide patch raises surface contact and traction
- Special stone ejectors reduce the risk of drilling
- Reinforced sidewalls withstand heavy loads
- Tubeless build secures a tight rim fit
Firstly, the RoadMaster RM170 features a five rib tread pattern that grants superior traction and gripping power. The center ribs improve handling accuracy, making sure the trailer will follow the towing truck with high precision. Moreover, the optimized V shaped sipes create extra biting edges that boost grip and shorten the braking distance. Thanks to its closed shoulders, this model ensures higher responsiveness when taking sharp turns. The shoulder ribs also combat uneven wear, promoting a longer service life. Its rigid sidewalls protect the rim from lateral impacts that might cause downtime or costly repairs. Besides, they feature special protector ribs that further raise durability against damage.
Equally important, the durable carcass of the RoadMaster RM170 withstands high load pressure without problems. Hence, a single tire can safely carry up to 6,600 lbs, depending on size. The strong internal construction also absorbs road vibrations and shocks, preventing trailer wobbling and increasing stability instead. This carcass resists deep cuts and punctures, promoting multiple retread cycles. Thanks to its advanced rubber compound, this tire is highly fuel efficient. The rubber formula reduces the rolling resistance, which directly impacts fuel usage for the towing truck and cuts it. Finally, this economical tire ensures long lasting performance across various road conditions, making it a worthy investment for fleet operators.
