In general, steer position tires are the most important tires for vehicles because these influence direction of moving, but also offer responsive handling at the same time.
RoadX ST355 R3 is a premium steer axle rubber product developed especially for tractor heads that tow refrigerated semi trailer, flatbed trailer platforms, or modular trailers. To reduce the CO2 emissions and fuel usage this model comes with a SmartWay Verified compound. Shaped into a new five rib tread pattern with closed shoulder ribs this tire provides uniform wear. Special decoupling grooves protect the footprint from lateral forces generated in fast corners. A wide and optimized contact patch provides the correct weight distribution, while multi rib design ensures smooth and comfortable work.
Moreover, RoadX ST355 R3 has special center ribs coupled with a heavy siping design to ensure easy steering and high stability even when the truck is loaded. Using an advanced compound they reduce the environmental impact, thus protecting nature and people's health. Another role of this tread is to promote high mileage and fuel efficiency. Four deep grooves along with a special ribbed tread design allows a rapid channel of water from the footprint for extra load safety.
Finally, RoadX ST355 R3 is present on the market in many sizes, listed near the tire's description. Designed with 144, 146, and 149 load index that means up to 7,160lbs of load per tire. Many customers claim that this tire is an ideal tire option for line haul and regional services.
