Frideric FA688. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All season performance; Hydroplaning prevention; Enhanced load durability; Better towing stability; Longer-lasting tread life; . OVERVIEW: The Frideric FA688 is a highway terrain, all season tire made for trailers and commercial vehicles. The trailer sizes are NOT MEANT TO BE MOUNTED ON LIGHT TRUCKS, as their construction will not support the weight and performing style of such vehicles. They can ONLY BE MOUNTED ON TRAILERS. The commercial sizes are created to be mounted on the vehicle's trailer axle positions.The model provides great all season traction. The ideal tread pattern and the all season compound enhance the tire's dry, wet, and light winter grip. In this manner, the optimized tread design closely follows the road at all times, while the all season compound keeps the rubber flexible in changing temperatures. Circumferential grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint, in order to resist hydroplaning.Better structural durability is ensured with the tire's exceptional load capacity. The reinforced internal structure maintains the ideal tire shape under load and driving pressure. The tire does not deform under pressure, which allows the tire to greatly enhance its carrying and withstanding ability. In this manner, the tire is able to greatly upgrade the tire's load capacity and handling power.The tire promotes stable towing. With the stronger sidewall construction, the deformation of the tire is minimized. This grants the model the ability to preserve its best shape and evenly spread out pressure across its circumference. This is further boosted with the high road-to-rubber ratio of the ribs that maximizes road contact area and ensures its consistency. As a result, the towing vehicle has superb control over the trailer.The Frideric FA688 boosts its service life and usability. The ideal tread pattern and the wear-resistant compound prevent irregular and premature wear formations. In this manner, the optimized tread pattern evenly distributes driving pressure along the tread area, while the special compound slows down the treadwear rate. This decreased and even wear leads to longer-lasting tread life. The shoulder design helps as well since it provides protection against tread chipping. Furthermore, the groove knobs help minimize the chance of tread damage by removing snow, mud, and rocks from the footprint.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.
