The R117 from Roadlux is a commercial tire that's designed for use on the steer axle of semi-trucks and buses in long haul applications. A durable rubber compound works with a decoupling groove on the shoulder to reduce irregular wear for a longer tread life, and the R117's wide grooves drain water out of the tread to reduce the risk of hydroplaning on wet roads. Additionally, the R117 features a rib protector in the groove that forces stones and other debris out of the tread for consistent traction and to protect the casing from damage.
