Wide-base trailer radial

Jun 9, 2010

The Greatec 125 wide-base trailer radial lessens rolling resistance and increases payload, the company says. The tire has sidewall protector ribs and stress-relief sipes designed to increase tire life. The radial uses a stone rejecting platform to prevent trapped stones from pushing into the tread grooves and piercing the belt layer, the company says. The tire is also approved for use on SmartWay-certified equipment.
