Nowadays the main goal of Westlake is to meet the newest standards in fuel efficiency, traction, and mileage in regional and long haul applications. Above all, Westlake produces a wide variety of commercial tires that show high performance in terms of durability, grip, traction, rolling resistance, and mileage. These tires are divided into drive, all position, steer, and trailer position categories. Drive position tires ensure maximum torque and traction for the drive axle. For example, the drive lug type tread design maximizes the tire traction levels on different surfaces while the ribbed pattern ensures low rolling resistance, high durability, and extra miles.
We should mention that Westlake CM985 comes with an advanced tread compound shaped into an open shoulder tread pattern. In general lug type patterns guarantee amazing traction and superb road adherence in regional and long distance use. This model stands out with its full traction tread blocks designed to boost performance on wet surfaces. Special tread grooves along with lateral grooves increase contact with the road for superior performance even in special services. In addition, a wide and optimized tread pattern expels rapid water, and mud offering a controlled and safe ride. Another role of this type of tread design is to reduce road noise making the ride more pleasant.
Finally, we can say for sure that Westlake CM985 is the best tire option for many drivers of 18 wheelers, dump trucks, and other vehicles with 20 and 22.5-inch rim diameters.
