Apollo Tires launches 385/55 truck trailer tire offering

The tire has been designed with a reinforced casing and a tread compound to reduce abrasion and heat build-up.

Apollo Tires is expanding its range of EnduRace RT2 truck trailer tires with the introduction of a new 385/55 size option for 22.5 inch rims.

Highlights of the EnduRace RT2 tires, according to the company, include the fact that it is certified for snow grip with the ‘three-peak mountain snowflake’ mark, and an advanced tread pattern for minimal rolling resistance and noise. The tire has also been designed with a reinforced casing and a tread compound which reduces abrasion and heat build-up to offer enhanced tear-resistance and levels of durability 1.7 times greater than the European regulatory requirement.

The new EnduRace RT2 size will be launched later this month.
