Westlake EZ373 is an open shoulder premium drive position tire designed especially for ready mixers, and dump trucks. This model stands out with a unique tread design, robust tread blocks, and innovative casing construction. On the other side, it also promotes optimal rolling resistance and improved fuel usage.
One of the most important aspects in the dump and ready mix applications is considered durability delivered by chip and chunking resistant tread compound. Westlake EZ373 meets this request. It comes with a cut and chip resistant tread compound molded into an aggressive tread pattern. Open shoulder blocks with triangle shaped center blocks provide superb traction and great grip in sand, and mud. Wide and optimized contact patch promotes great weight distribution for minimal irregular wear and maintenance.
In the production of Westlake tires, the engineers use trustworthy technologies like BTCT, SSHT, GSCT, and PDOT. In general, these improve the tire integrity by reducing heat generation, and tread/steel cord separation. Unique groove geometry and tread block arrangement along with strong casing increase durability and strength for more carrying capacities.
Westlake EZ373 is available in many sizes with a 20, 22.5, and 24.5-inch rim diameter, with up to 149 load index (7160lbs). In conclusion, it can be the best tire option for Western Star 47X and 49X series, but also for the International Workstar trucks.
