Some tires are more economical than others, and investing in SmartWay ones is key to a greener environment. Meet the Samson GL268D - a premium drive position model suitable for regional and long haul operations. What makes this commercial truck tire a great option is its low fuel usage and great performance.
Starting off, the Samson GL268D features an aggressive tread pattern with blocks that offer the best surface contact and traction in various conditions. The high number of lugs creates lots of biting edges that improve grip and handling accuracy, helping the truck perform well on curvy roads. In addition, the deep grooves lower the risk of hydroplaning by evacuating water and other ground parts from the footprint. Thanks to that, it ensures a safe and peaceful driving experience, regardless of weather. Aside from that, the reinforced sidewalls protect the rim from damage to prevent downtimes.
Secondly, the Samson GL268D features a low emission technology that marks it as SmartWay approved. The advanced rubber compound keeps the rolling resistance to its lowest, promoting great fuel efficiency for the truck. Moreover, the rubber materials have high chip and cut resistance for a long service life without issues. A deep tread further increases durability against wear, especially when driving on regional roads. All tread elements along with the robust sidewalls allow a single tire to withstand loads of up to 8,260 lbs, depending on size. A tubeless structure secures a confident fit around the rim to reduce the chances of air leaks. Finally, this model is available on the US market in many sizes with rim diameters of 19.5" and 22.5".
