Gladiator QR86MP
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All Weather Traction
- Improved Maneuverability
- Damage Resistant Tread
OVERVIEW
The Gladiator QR86MP is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. This model can be installed on all axle positions.
Both the tire's rubber blend and tread footprint were engineered to maximize all weather traction. It comes with a symmetric tread design that maximizes grip in dry, wet, and winter weather conditions. It features a high number of biting edges, thanks to the zigzag grooves and detailed shoulder ribs. This way, it can maintain constant forward motion, while utilizing the special rubber compound to adapt to the changing temperatures. By doing so, it remains flexible throughout the drive. The zigzag circumferential grooves prevent aquaplaning by dispersing water, slush, snow, and mud from the footprint.
The model promotes an excellent damage resistance ability. The zigzag tread elements and the tough compound are highly effective against chipping, cutting, and tearing. The circumferential grooves eliminate rocks from the footprint. This prevents stone retention, which would result in rocks drilling into the tread and causing damage. With a clean footprint, the tire can maintain constant contact with the road surface. Another advantage of its damage-resistant capabilities is that its service life is greatly extended.
The tire utilizes a four-rib tread pattern with zigzag-edged ribs that populate the tread with biting edges. Since the ribs form a flat footprint, load and driving pressure are always evenly distributed across the tread. This stabilizes the footprint against the driving pressure affecting it, increasing its driving stability and steering responsiveness. The driver can rely on faster and more precise steering responses when commanding the vehicle. With its improved maneuverability, the Gladiator QR86MP is a great choice for safe driving experience.
