Depending on the tire's use, the Westlake engineers use a different tread compound. For example, long haul services request fuel efficiency, long lasting, and optimal carrying ability. Mixed services, waste haul, and construction need a robust and durable compound. Before, Westlake tires arrive on the market, follow the modern manufacturing processes and technologies like BFT, PDOT, GSCT, BTCT, and SSHT. As a result, these models provide great performance in regional and light off road conditions, but also offer easy steering, minimal heat generation, and uniform wear. One of the most outstanding tires recommended by customers for steer applications is Westlake CM973.
For instance, Westlake CM973 presents an amazing combination of durable and advanced tread compounds molded into an optimized tread pattern with special stone ejector platforms in the center of the central groove. The main role of the zigzag grooves expels efficient water, slush, mud, and stone.
Moreover, semi closed shoulder blocks combined with special center blocks improve traction and stability for a confident ride. Strong sidewall ribs protect the tire integrity when it comes to road hazards, abrasion, and scuffing.
Westlake CM973 is available in many sizes with 20, 22.5, and 24.5-inch rim diameters. This tire is a trustworthy steer/all position tire option chosen by many drivers/owners of dump trucks, ready mixers, and 18 wheelers trucks.
