Meet the Samson R678, which is a durable steer position tire that makes an excellent choice for your commercial fleet. Thanks to its robust bias build combined with a tubed structure and an innovative design, this model ensures a pleasant and peaceful journey. Also, it is suitable for medium duty trucks.
Primarily, the Samson R678 features a special tread pattern that offers excellent traction on highway terrains. The unique lugged ribs create plenty of biting edges with the road surface, thus delivering superior grip and handling accuracy. Moreover, the center ribs improve handling accuracy, offering precise control when driving on curvy roads or when changing lanes. Besides, the optimized siping distribution grants the best grip while shortening the braking distance. Aside from that, the sipes combat heat buildup on long journeys or hot summer days. Its closed shoulder aspect promotes even wear across the tread, leading to a longer service life without problems.
Equally important, the zig zag grooves make the Samson R678 highly resistant to aquaplaning. They drain water from the footprint on rainy rays, providing increased safety and control at all times. In addition, the robust sidewalls protect the wheel from lateral impacts, preventing costly repairs or downtime. Another important duty of the sidewalls is to withstand heavy loads without cracking. Hence, a single tire can safely support up to 8,540 lbs, depending on size. A tubed structure adds another layer of security against deep cuts and punctures, further preventing air leaks. With a modern rubber compound, the tire creates a low rolling resistance, which reduces fuel usage for the truck. At last, this model is available on the US market in a wide range of sizes from 20" up to 24" rim diameters.
