Samson GL261D – Premium Regional Haul Open Shoulder Drive Axle Tire
The Samson GL261D is a premium open shoulder drive axle radial tire engineered for regional and line haul service on Class 7 and Class 8 semi-trucks. Available at NeoTires.com, the GL261D delivers an exceptional combination of long tread life, fuel efficiency, and casing protection — built around a deep 28/32nds tread depth, an advanced low rolling resistance compound, and Samson's tapered groove technology with integrated stone ejectors. For regional fleet operators who demand more miles per tire without sacrificing drive axle performance, the GL261D is a proven, cost-effective solution.
28/32nds Tread Depth – Maximum Mileage in the Drive Position
The Samson GL261D's premium 28/32nds tread depth is one of its defining advantages over standard regional haul drive tires. More tread means more usable rubber before replacement — and in the drive axle position, where torque forces and tread wear are most aggressive, that extra depth translates directly into longer service intervals and lower cost per mile for your fleet. The open shoulder design further supports even treadwear across the full contact patch, extending the tire's productive service life and making every mile count.
Key Features of the Samson GL261D
- Premium 28/32nds Tread Depth – Deep open shoulder tread delivers long mileage and even wear in demanding drive axle service
- Advanced Low Rolling Resistance Compound – Specially formulated tread rubber reduces energy loss and rolling resistance, contributing to measurable fuel savings across your fleet
- Tapered Groove Technology – Grooves are tapered to minimize stone retention, protecting the casing from stone drilling damage and extending overall tire life
- Integrated Stone Ejectors – Built-in stone ejectors actively expel rocks and debris from the tread grooves, preventing stone-related casing damage and reducing the risk of punctures
- Open Shoulder Design – Optimized for drive axle traction and self-cleaning performance in regional mixed-service environments
- Retreadable Casing – Robust carcass construction supports multiple retread cycles, maximizing the total return on every tire investment
- All-Season Performance – Reliable traction and handling across dry, wet, and winter highway conditions year-round
- High Load Capacity – Available in Load Range H (16 Ply) to handle the full weight demands of loaded Class 7 and Class 8 trucks
Tapered Grooves & Stone Ejectors – Protecting Your Casing Investment
Casing damage from stone retention is one of the most common — and preventable — causes of premature commercial tire failure in regional service. The Samson GL261D addresses this directly with its tapered groove technology and integrated stone ejectors. Tapered grooves naturally discourage stones from wedging deep into the tread, while the stone ejectors physically push out any debris that does enter the groove during operation. Together, these features protect the tire's structural integrity and retreadability, ensuring your casing stays viable for multiple retread cycles and your investment goes further.
Fuel Efficiency Built Into Every Mile
Fuel cost is the single largest operating expense for most commercial fleets, and the GL261D's advanced low rolling resistance compound is specifically engineered to help bring that number down. By minimizing the energy lost to heat and deformation as the tire rolls, the GL261D reduces the load on your truck's powertrain — delivering real, measurable fuel savings that compound across an entire fleet over thousands of miles. Combined with the tire's long tread life, the GL261D offers one of the lowest total costs of ownership in the regional haul drive axle category.
Available Sizes – Samson GL261D
The GL261D is available in the most popular regional haul drive axle sizes, including 11R22.5 and 295/75R22.5 in Load Range H (16 Ply), with a tread depth of 28–29/32nds and a maximum inflation pressure of 120 psi. Both sizes are engineered to the same premium standard and are fully retreadable.
