Long haul application trucks need the right tire model to get the job done, so here Sumitomo comes to help. The ST948 SE is their most fuel efficient SmartWay Verified drive tire.
Firstly, it is equipped with the newest S-Tech Design advancements to enhance rubber life and performance. The tire features an extra deep 30/32nd tread packed with optimally placed stone ejectors to ensure the highest level of safety. Stiff shoulders with grooves are present to boost cornering ability and vehicle stability. Also, the ST948 SE benefits from wide lugs that decrease the rolling resistance, thus promoting long and even patch wear. Aggressive micro siping all over the rubber ensures that no water stays trapped for increased braking power and traction on wet surfaces.
Secondly, this model's 4D Nano Design Technology features a wide footprint that evenly distributes pressure over a wide contact patch, allowing for loads up to 6,614 lbs per wheel. Innovative internal construction improves mileage and wear performance, therefore ensuring power and safety at speeds up to 75 mph. Under the patch, there is a four belt package for boosted durability against cuts and chips. The smart engineering of the ST948 SE lessens environmental impact by a lot, therefore earning it the SmartWay Verified badge. Two deep channels are present on the tread pattern that help elevate traction force and vehicle balance on uneven surfaces. Stiff sidewalls provide confident stability on curvy roads for comfortable and easy driving. Moreover, Sumitomo backs you with a 6 year or 2 recap casing warranty for peace of mind. We can find this model on the US market in the most popular sizes, these being: 11R22.5, 11R24.5, 295/75 R22.5 and 285/75 R24.5.
