A commercial tire, the Navitrac N555 from Power King is designed for use on the drive axle of trucks and buses in long haul applications.
A closed shoulder design helps to fight off irregular wear for a longer tread life, and the Navitrac N555's large tread blocks and siping increase traction and grip in wet and light winter weather conditions.
This drive position tire features a block tread pattern that combines with the wide base to provide superior towing and grip in wet and dry conditions.
Its block arrangement minimizes rolling resistance resulting in high fuel efficiency while the siping reduces irregular wear.
On wet surfaces, the grooves remove water from the contact patch to prevent hydroplaning and the sipes improve grip.
A Closer Look:
Tire features:
Closed shoulder ribs help in long hauls by maintaining even pressure distribution and resistance to irregular wear, lowering rolling resistance, and saving more fuel.
Stone ejectors in center grooves maintain casing integrity by reducing stone drilling.
Large tread blocks with siping increase the traction and grip in wet and wintry weather conditions.
Steel-belted internal construction designed for toughness and tire rigidity, reduced chance of deformation under heavy loads, providing stability and even wear.
Power King Navitrac N555 Tire Review & Rating
The tire’s special wide-base design and its reinforced internal structure work together to enhance the load durability.
The wide-base design allows the tire to greatly decrease its weight, which helps to improve the load durability as opposed to dual tire applications – when four tires are mounted on one axle.
The all season compound and the ideal tread design improve the year round performing ability.
The tire’s symmetric ribbed tread block pattern with the siping placement upgrades the grip on the road surface. They provide additional biting edges in order to firmly grip the road surface throughout the year.
Furthermore, the stronger steel belt structure allows the tire to keep the ideal tire shape under the load and driving pressure. As the tire does not deform under the load and driving pressure, it is able to greatly boost the overall load and driving capacity.
The compound also keeps the rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures, optimizing the summer and winter weather performing capability.
The tread’s circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint, resulting in a safer wet weather performance.
Overall Thoughts
Power King Navitrac N555 is a drive position radial tire made for commercial trucks and buses, designed for long-haul applications.
Tire features: Closed shoulder ribs help in long hauls by maintaining even pressure distribution and resistance to irregular wear, lowering rolling resistance, and saving more fuel.
