SimpleTire’s view on Prinx ST01 tires

Prinx ST01 is an ideal tire for light to medium trailer use as it is reasonably priced, provides high durability and traction, and features a long-wearing tread compound. For confidence on wet surfaces, there are wide circumferential grooves that prevent hydroplaning. This tire enables you to confidently drive with trailers as it minimizes wander and trailer sway.

Both, the advanced tread compound and reinforced sidewalls are the reasons for a high Prinx ST01 rating as they enhance durability for a long tread life. An 8-ply rating is fairly high for handling large loads without losing shape, though it could have been higher. Not only is the tire M+S rated, but it is suitable for year-round performance due to its all-season tread.
