Drive position tires handle extra stress compared to those from other axles due to their responsibility for offering traction. Hence, they need to bite the surface with confidence and propel the truck forward, regardless of obstacles. One such tire is the Samson L855, which is suitable for commercial medium trucks.
Firstly, the Samson L855 has a non directional tread pattern that grants great traction in various conditions. The solid center rib improves the handling accuracy, allowing you to smoothly maneuver your truck without worries. Also, the open shoulders combat heat buildup and add extra lateral grip when needed. A flat tread profile promotes even wear, leading to increased service life. Besides, the tough internal casing resists deep cuts and punctures, allowing for many retreads. With a smart zig zag groove design, this model has no problem draining water. This helps you drive confidently on wet surfaces without the worries of aquaplaning.
What's more, the Samson L855 boasts robust sidewalls that protect the rim from lateral impacts, thus preventing needless downtimes. Also, the sidewalls, combined with the tough casing, upgrade the load capacity, allowing for heavier loads to be hauled. Therefore, a single tire can safely support up to 9,920 lbs, depending on size. A tubed build adds another layer of protection against penetrations to further boost durability. Equally important, the tough rubber compound lowers the rolling resistance to cut fuel usage and boost efficiency. At last, this model is available on the market in many sizes such as 8.25-20, 9.00-20, 10.00-20, and more.
