Transeagle TE40. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All season traction; Enhanced controllability; Upgraded load durability; . OVERVIEW: The Transeagle TE40 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for trailers. This tire is NOT MEANT TO BE MOUNTED ON LIGHT TRUCKS, as its construction will not support the weight and performing style of such vehicles. It can ONLY BE MOUNTED ON TRAILERS.This model offers great year-round traction. The flat footprint uses its circumferential grooves to generate extra biting edges that upgrade its dry, wet, and winter weather grip on the road surface. This optimizes the tire's overall all season performance. Additionally, the stronger compound keeps the rubber flexibile throughout the year, optimizing its summer and winter drive. Circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning as they channel water and slush from the footprint in wet conditions.The ribbed pattern's surface contact also enhances its controllability. This allows the tire to maintain its consistent surface contact, upgrading steering responsiveness and driving stability. Therefore, this model makes sure the tire responds quickly and precisely to the towing vehicle's instructions. It also stabilizes the structure against driving pressure, further boosting its driving safety levels. This offers a secure towing experience, optimizing its overall driving safety levels.The TE40 upgrades its load capacity. As the tire does not deform under load and driving pressure, it is able to securely carry and withstand heavy loads. This is achieved with the special bias-ply structure, which is known for its durability. In this manner, the tire significantly increases the tire's overall load durability. This specific tire model features a BIASED ply construction. There might be discrepancies of sizes between brands and models of tires which have this size formatting. As the manufacturers only provide the tire width and the rim diameter with these tires, various brands and models will have size differences. In order to ensure the correct size is purchased, the overall tire diameter that is needed should be checked.The Overall Diameter or O.D. advertised represents the tire's overall diameter in inches, once the tire has been properly inflated and mounted per the manufacturer's recommendation. This advertised number is provided to Priority Tire by the tire manufacturer. 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.
