Sumitomo ST718 Tires
The Sumitomo ST718 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. It was made to be mounted on the steer axle. The durable compound and the reinforced internal structure increase the damage resistance. They prevent punctures, cuts and other damage to the casing, and avoid the tread’s chipping, cracking and tearing. This minimizes the tire’s downtime and prevents damage from shortening the service life.
The tread design and durable compound manage to lengthen the usability. The tread’s symmetric ribbed tread design enables the model to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally circulated force of acceleration, cornering and braking resists irregular wear formations. The special tire compound slows the tread wear rate down with the wear-resistant rubber materials. This combination guarantees a longer lasting tread life.
The Sumitomo ST718 upgrades the controllability and load capacity with the reinforced construction. The steel belt structure maintains the ideal tire shape under the pressure affecting it. This upgrades the load capacity and enables the tire to securely carry and withstand heavy loads throughout its performance. The optimal tire shape also enhances the tire’s handling. It enables the tire’s close road contact, which increases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes quicker and more accurate in its response to the driver’s commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. This results in the driver’s full control over the vehicle.
- Damage resistanceThe stronger compound and durable construction resist damage to the casing and tread area, preventing the tire’s downtime.
- Longer tread lifeThe symmetric ribbed tread design and durable compound ensure a slower and equal tread wear manner, lengthening the usability.
- DurabilityThe reinforced internal structure increases the load carrying ability by maintaining the ideal tire shape under the load pressure.
