Gladiator QR40-ST FEATURES AND BENEFITS Fuel Efficient Drive Improved Maneuverability All Weather Traction Longer Lasting Service Life OVERVIEW The Gladiator QR40-ST is a highway terrain, all season tire made for commercial vehicles. This model is specially designed for the vehicle’s steer axle. The tire lowers the rolling resistance with its flat footprint that ensures constant road contact. This is mainly thanks to the symmetric ribbed tread design that evenly distributes load and driving pressure. By evenly circulating the forces of braking, cornering, and acceleration, the tire requires less towing to maintain its speed. This results in less fuel consumption and an environmentally friendly drive. The vehicle will also emit less CO2 throughout the performance. Both the tread pattern and the tough all season compound are optimized for longer tread life. The symmetric tread design utilizes the wide shoulder ribs and the dense siping on the center ribs to maximize road contact. With even pressure distribution, tread wear becomes much slower, while irregular wear formations are highly unlikely. The rubber compound is also wear-resistant, which extends the tire’s service life by a great deal. Due to its toughness, the five-rib footprint can maintain its most important characteristics in the long term. This model excels in all weather conditions that await it throughout the year. It comes with an all season compound that adapts to the varying temperatures. It remains flexible during hot summer days just as much as it does in cold winters. The tire’s center ribs feature both horizontal and vertical sipes that maximize its gripping ability. The tread is designed to adapt to dry, wet, and snow-covered roads. The four circumferential grooves deal with hydroplaning by eliminating water, slush, and snow from the footprint immediately after contact. The flat footprint and the carefully designed tread promote seamless controllability. It keeps close contact with the road surface at all times, which enhances its driving stability and steering responsiveness. This makes it easier for the driver to command the vehicle, as the tire responds in a fast and prompt manner. Meanwhile, the tire’s structure is firmly secured against the driving pressure affecting it. The QR40-ST comes with dense siping that shortens the braking distance, ensuring a safe driving experience. 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.
