Towstar STR

The Towstar STR is a high-quality ST Radial tire designed and engineered in the USA specifically for trailer applications. As a leading choice for many original equipment trailer manufacturers, Towstar has built a reputation for reliability, safety, and durability. The STR is built to handle heavy loads and provide stable, predictable performance on the highway, making it an ideal choice for owners of RVs, utility trailers, boat trailers, and more in the Atlanta and Marietta, Georgia areas.

Tread Design and Longevity

The Towstar STR is engineered for a long service life and even wear under heavy trailer loads.

Key features of the tread design include:

1. Enhanced Shoulder Design: The tire features a specialized shoulder design that effectively dissipates heat, which is a major cause of premature wear in trailer tires. This leads to a longer and more even-wearing tread life.
2. Solid Center Rib: A continuous, solid center rib provides excellent straight-line stability and ensures the trailer tracks consistently behind the tow vehicle, reducing sway.
3. Durable All-Season Compound: The tire is made with a robust, all-season compound that resists wear and provides reliable performance throughout the year.
4. Nylon Overlay Construction: For added strength and durability, 15″ and 16″ sizes of the Towstar STR feature a nylon overlay, which helps maintain the tire’s shape and integrity at highway speeds.

Performance and Safety

Safety and reliability are paramount in a trailer tire, and the Towstar STR delivers on both fronts.

1. Excellent Highway Stability: The symmetric ribbed tread design and solid center rib work together to provide a stable and secure towing experience, minimizing trailer sway.
2. All-Season Traction: With four wide circumferential grooves, the STR effectively evacuates water from the contact patch, resisting hydroplaning and providing confident traction on wet roads.
3. High Load Capacity: The Towstar STR in size ST235/85R16 features a Load Range F (12-Ply) rating, supported by a reinforced internal structure. This allows it to carry a maximum load of 3,960 lbs per tire, making it suitable for heavy-duty trailers.
4. Purpose-Built for Trailers: Unlike passenger or light truck tires, the STR is specifically constructed to handle the unique vertical loads and stresses of trailer applications, ensuring a higher margin of safety.
