Wide Base Tires and Winter Traction
Posted by Tim on December 22, 2005
Considering the Goodyear 445/50R22.5 Super Single in winter conditions (snow, ice, rain and cold weather)should we expect better or worse traction v. traditional Unisteel radial or bias-ply duals? - Thank you.
This is a tough one. First of all, we do not offer tires of this size. In general though, the use of wide base tires has not resulted in a significant difference in traction compared to similar (lug type) radial ply, dual tire that they could replace. At least in the US, bias ply tires have been out of the mainstream for so long, it would be difficult to make a comparison.
