GT RADIAL STEER TIRE
GT steer tire now 16-ply
A new 16-ply rating version of the SmartWay-verified GT Radial GSL213FS (low profile size 295/75R22.5) long-haul steer tire from Giti Tire is being introduced in North America. It’s intended for the increasing number of tractors with heavier front axles and higher gross vehicle weights.
The new 295/75R22.5 16PR GSL213FS offers a higher load-carrying capacity and maximum pressure compared to the current 14-ply offering.
There is growing use of low-emission engines which are heavier, resulting in front axles that are set back further and increasing front end loading, says Giti Tire.
It calls the new tire “a premium cost-efficient alternative for this growing market.”
