What variables typically exist in looking for a medium/heavy truck tire?
Depending on the wheel position (steer, drive, trailer) there are a number of key elements to be expected:
STEER:
Due to the type of demands exercised on a steer axle, such as mass transfer during braking, cornering, etc., steer tires typically have these attributes:
DRIVE:
Depending on the type of operation, there are several options in tire design for a drive axle position: rib, mixed, lugs. Since in most cases high torque is required and weather conditions change from dry to wet to ice, the most common factors are:
TRAILER:
Trailer tires have the slowest wear rate of all wheel positions because they: a) Do not steer the vehicle, b) Are not driven by the engine (no torque), c) Hold relatively light loads.
