Loadstar K550
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All weather traction
- Enhanced durability
- Excellent towing stability
- Longer tread life
OVERVIEW
The Loadstar K550 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for trailers.
This trailer tire promotes excellent all weather traction. Its tread compound and tread pattern upgrade the dry, wet and winter weather traction. Trailer tires do not need to have as great a traction as the towing vehicle’s tires do, however, the better road grip improves the driving safety. The tread design’s circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire’s footprint. The safer traction and enhanced performance guarantee a more secure driving experience.
The tire’s bias ply construction enhances its durability. It strengthens the tire’s structure and prevents deformation. This boosts the model’s load carrying ability and driving performance. The stiffer construction improves the towing vehicle’s power over the trailer as it enables the trailer tire to precisely follow the towing vehicle’s instructions. The flatter tire profile also upgrades the driving stability by securing the tire against the driving pressure affecting it. The better stability allows the tire to precisely follow the towing vehicle in all weather.
The Loadstar K550 was manufactured with a special tire compound. The compound is resistant to tread wear, which slows the tread wear rate down significantly. This allows the tire to last longer and to be used for a longer period of time. The tire compound also prevents heat buildup and decreases the rolling resistance. This reduces the amount of fuel the towing vehicle consumes during the drive and ensures a more fuel efficient driving experience.
This is a bias ply or diagonal tire. Due to the tire's internal construction and size, it is possible that the tire will look deformed.
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.
