Maybe you don't know that a super single tire is a tire wider than 13 inches in cross section width. This type of tire is built especially to replace traditional tandem tires. It usually is a drive or trailer position tire but not for steering, because its width would make it difficult.
One of the best UWB tires produced by Yokohama is 902L UWB. This model delivers exceptional performance in the long haul and regional highway services. It has a specialized long haul tread compound shaped into an extra wide and multi rib pattern. Open and solid shoulders resist irregular wear, but also improve traction, road stability, and braking distance. In addition, dual sipes offer superior acceleration and braking performance on both wet and ice. In addition, six innovative center ribs along with seven straight grooves expel rapid water and snow away for powerful traction and exceptional road grip.
Moreover, Yokohama uses an optimized tread compound and pattern model to inhibit road noise for ride comfort. Due to its extra wide footprint, 902L UWB ensures short braking distance, excellent carrying capacity, and superb mileage. For safety reasons, zero degree belt allows uniform weight distribution for stable contact with the road and a long lifespan. Advanced casing construction handles the tire strain, prevents casing damage, and allows multiple retreads.
Yokohama 902L UWB is available on the US market in the following sizes: 445/50R22.5, and 455/55R22.5. In conclusion, we can say for sure, that this model is one of the best UWB drive axle tires for heavy duty cargo trucks.
