Transeagle TE30. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All season traction; Enhanced controllability; Upgraded load durability; . OVERVIEW: The Transeagle TE30 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 excellent year-round traction. The solid ribbed tread design's surface contact boosts exceptional dry, wet, and winter weather grip. They provide additional biting edges throughout its performance. On the other hand, durable rubber materials were used to create the tire's all season compound. These elements keep the tire pliable in versatile temperatures, from hot summers to colder winters. Circumferential grooves are responsible to prevent hydroplaning in wet conditions.The symmetric ribbed tread design maintains the tire's consistent surface contact. As a result, the tire significantly boosts the towing vehicle's control over the trailer. The road contact optimizes steering responsiveness and driving stability. This results in quick and precise steering responses, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. Additionally, this stability also prevents trailer swaying, further improving the tire's secure driving experience.The Transeagle TE30 upgrades its load durability. The special bias-ply structure does not allow the tire to deform under load and driving pressure. As the tire does not deform under load and driving pressure, it is able to securely carry and withstand heavy loads with ease. This boosts its overall load handling power.This is a bias ply or diagonal tire. Due to the tire's internal construction and size, it is possible that the tire will look deformed. Smaller diagonal tires do not have reinforced constructions that can keep the tire from deforming. The bias construction and the small tire's non-reinforced internal structure allow the tire to fold in when it is deflated or not properly inflated. This is not constructional damage or an issue; it is a normal occurrence with such tires. In such cases, the tire needs to be mounted and inflated to the proper PSI or, in some instances, an inner tube needs to be added. The proper PSI and the inner tube are able to maintain the tire's ideal shape, preventing the bias plies from looking deformed. This ensures their performing safety and durability.The photo is a representation of the tire's possible deformation, it does not represent the specific tire model, size, tread pattern and application. 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.
