- Sipe design built for even contact pressure that minimizes irregular wear.
- Rugged lug pattern design built for traction and vehicle stability.
- Seven circumferential groove design which evacuates water.
The SmartWay-verified GTL933 FS (above right) includes the following features, according to Giti:
- Designed for strong performance on the trailer axle position.
- Optimized tread design on the rib edges for minimizing irregular wear.
- Wide tread design with consistent contact patch pressure for long tread wear.

“These new wide base tires are great examples of the collaborative efforts by our own R&D Center in South Carolina and global network of R&D centers,” said Armand Allaire, executive vice president of commercial sales for Giti Tire (USA) Ltd. “Supplying good performing wide base tires certainly fills a need for our customers and is also a valid proof point for Giti TBR technology.”
