Primex HW 100xt. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Trailer tire, NOT FOR LIGTH TRUCKS; All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Upgraded durability; . OVERVIEW: The Primex HW 100xt 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.The tire's tread design and all season compound increase its all weather performance. The symmetric ribbed tread design with the optimized tread elements increases the model's grip on dry, wet and winter weather conditions. These tread elements enhance the number of biting edges gripping the road surface while the tires are in motion, promoting a secure performing ability. The all season compound manages to keep the rubber flexibility in various temperatures, allowing the tire to boost the driving safety levels. The zigzag circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint, further improving the wet and winter driving safety.The reinforced construction upgrades the load and driving durability. The stronger internal structure upgrades the load carrying and withstanding ability as its does not allow the tire to deform under the load and driving pressure affecting the model. In this manner, the tire manages to significantly enhance the load capacity, offering a safer performance. The strengthened structure also protects the tire against damage. It actively prevents cuts, punctures and other damage while the tires are in motion. As a result, damage cannot harm the tire's casing and they cannot shorten the model's service life.The HW 100xt upgrades its controllability with the optimal tread design. The symmetric ribbed pattern closely follows the road surface and it maintains the tire's road contact at all times. This upgrades the tire's steering responsiveness and driving stability significantly. This combination enables the tire to boost the steering response time and accuracy to the towing vehicle's instructions, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. In this manner, the tire promotes a secure performing ability, which makes towing easier.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.
