China Manufacturers Alliance LLC (CMA) has introduced a new, super-wide trailer tire, the Double Coin FT125+.
The 20-ply tire is available in size 445/50R22.5 and "contains groove bottom protection that resists stone penetration and a durable casing design, providing resistance to punctures," according to CMA officials.
“We have worked closely with an engineering group on developing the FT125+ super-wide tire," says Tim Phillips, vice president of marketing and operations for Double Coin/CMA.
"After successfully completing road tests in the United States and Canada, we are thrilled to finally introduce it to the market. The tire is made using Double Coin’s superior compound, which will maximize performance by providing outstanding durability, and optimal fuel and weight savings.
"This tire is expected to perform well in a tanker truck trailer application,” he adds.
