CMA and Double Coin have introduced two new all-steel ST radial tires to the Double Coin lineup. The additions are 16-in. sizes, expanding on the RT500 model. These include ST235/80R16 and ST235/85R16 sizes and are designed explicitly for high-speed trailer use, CMA/Double Coin said.

According to CMA and Double Coin, features and benefits include:

  • Large steel casing allowing for heavier carrying capacity;

  • Wide shoulders for improved stability.

Applications for the new sizes include RV trailers, fifth-wheel trailers, horse trailers, utility trailers, and boat trailers.
