Transeagle TE898

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• All season performance
• Improved load durability
• Enhanced controllability

OVERVIEW

The Transeagle TE898 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 optimal tread design, with detailed siping placement, and the all season compound work together to ensure exceptional grip in dry, wet, and light winter conditions. The tread design's siping placement increases the number of biting edges on the road, boosting the surface traction. At the same time, the all season compound ensures the rubber stays flexible in changing temperatures throughout the year. Thanks to the ideal groove placement, hydroplaning is also avoided in wet weather conditions.

The symmetric tread design closely follows the road throughout its performance. Because of this, the model can increase steering responsiveness and driving stability to prevent trailer swaying. The steering becomes faster and more precise in response to the towing vehicle's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. Cornering and maneuvering are also upgraded.

The Transeagle TE898's strengthened structure and durable compound upgrade the load durability. The structure does not allow the tire to deform under load and towing pressure, directly affecting its ability to securely carry and withstand larger loads. The result is a strong load capacity.

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.

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.
