Severe winter conditions can cause problems for drivers that are not equipped properly. To avoid such situations, Triangle released their new TRD88, which is a premium winter tire used on the drive axle of trucks and buses in regional applications. This model makes great use of the latest features in its industry to deliver superb results.
Principally, the TRD88 benefits from a unique rugged tread design that provides strong traction, especially during aggressive winter weather. Next, this model has a lot of grooves that help to channel water and snow away from the footprint, keeping it clean and lowering the risk of accidents. The open shoulder design adds to the lateral traction force while fighting uneven wear, making it easy and safe to navigate in deep snow. Also, the stiff sidewalls provide great protection from road hazards, increasing mileage.
Moreover, the abundant siping pattern enhances traction and road grip by adding extra biting edges. Besides, this greatly boosts vehicle stability, providing a safe and cozy ride. The reinforced internal build offers toughness and allows for more retread cycles. It is also able to perform well under load pressure, sustaining weights up to 7,390 lbs per tire. The optimized tread depth of 22/32" increases resistance to cuts and chips for long patch life. Also, the TRD88 takes advantage of an advanced rubber formula that resists cold temperatures and boosts surface contact.
Above that, Triangle released this model on the US market in two major sizes: 9R22.5 and 295/80R22.5. You should keep in mind that it comes in different ply ratings and with a speed index of L.
