VEry good tire with a good tread design but would suggest to use on non-steer axles. The tire will work for the steer axle but tread design is not near as good as the LongMarch or RoadLux 116 models. (Roadlux and LongMarch are from same company.) Our application is 18 wheelers with 80,000 plus max loads My preferred matching is LongMarch or RoadLux tires with their 116 models as steering tires, 516 model as drive tires, the 120 models as trailer tires or 116 also as trailer tires since price is similar and you don't have to keep as many tires on hand. THe LingLong 823 is also an excellent trailer tire. I would not hesitate to buy the 823 for a trailer application. I hope this helps. John at Simple Tire has always gone the extra mile for me in locating the best tires with the best shipping rates. I am sure everyone at Simple Tire are excellent but you can;t go wrong in asking for John. Good luck to all!!!

Get technical:
Roadlux's R216 - Steer is a commercial tire that's designed for use on the steer axle of semi-trucks in regional applications. Closed shoulders fend off uneven wear for a longer tread life, and the R216 - Steer's tough rubber compound guards the tire against cuts, chips, and abrasions for extra durability. Wide grooves drain water out of the tread to reduce the risk of hydroplaning on wet roads, and the R216 - Steer's tread blocks put more rubber on the road to boost traction. Additionally, the R216 - Steer features a solid center rib that allows for contact with the road to enhance handling performance.
