Westlake CM980

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Enhanced controllability
• Longer lasting tread life
• All weather traction

OVERVIEW

The Westlake CM980 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. It was made to be mounted on the vehicle's drive axle.

The model provides great all weather traction. The symmetric tread design features larger tread blocks that increase the tire's grip on the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather. In this manner, the tire improves its performing capability. The tread's wide circumferential and lateral grooves work together to actively resist hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint and boost the wet and winter weather traction. The better hydroplaning prevention and excellent all weather traction greatly upgrade the tire's year round performance.

The tire's durable tread design and compound extend the tread life. The compound is wear-resistant, which significantly slows the tread wear rate down during the drive. The stabilized tread elements avoid tread flexing, which ensures even driving and load pressure distribution on the tire's surface. The equally spread out driving force prevents irregular wear formations across the tread area. The slower even tread wear extends the tire's usability and tread life significantly, promoting a lengthened service life.

The CM980 is easily controlled. The optimal tread elements closely follow the road surface and upgrade the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The tread's better road contact upgrades the steering response time and accuracy to the steering axle's instructions. The stabilized tread elements also secure the tire's structure against the driving pressure affecting the model, which greatly upgrades the driving security. The upgraded controllability enables the tire's safer performing ability.
