Gladiator QR40-ST 255/70R22.5 140/137M H 1933315226 (16 Ply)

Gladiator QR40-ST. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Longer lasting tread life; Enhanced load durability; All weather traction; . OVERVIEW: The Gladiator QR40-ST is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. This model was made for the vehicle's steer axle.The model promotes a longer lasting usability. The symmetric ribbed tread design with the flat footprint improves the tread life. The maintained surface contact upgrades the pressure distribution across the tread area. The equally spread out driving forces effectively avoid irregular wear formations across the tread area. The stronger compound element improves the tread wear rate as well, by greatly decreasing it. The slower and even wear manner greatly boosts the overall service life.The tread design and the all season compound improve the all weather traction. The detailed tread design with the siping pattern generates additional biting edges in order to firmly grip the road surface at all times. The stronger rubber materials optimize their versatile temperature flexibility, enhancing the year round performing safety. The wider circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint, resulting in a secure wet weather performing power.The Gladiator QR40-ST increases the durability. The reinforced steel belt construction manages to maintain the ideal tire shape under the load and driving pressure. In this manner, the tire does not deform under the load and driving pressure, which greatly upgrades the load capacity. The better surface contact also boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. This allows the model to upgrade the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's instructions, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire.Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
