Semperit is pleased to announce the introduction of a new tyre for midi-trailers in size 385/55 R 22.5 the EuroTrailer. This new tyre is the first in the new Euro product range and offers the benefit of around 5 cubic meters more cargo volume as well as better mileage, making the use of midi-trailers even more effective for heavy road freight.

A conventional trailer, i.e. a trailer with standard 385/65 R 22.5 tyres, has an internal height of 2.70m. The 385/55 R 22.5 version of the new Semperit EuroTrailer allows an additional internal height of at least 10cm and thus increases the possible cargo volume by up to 5m³.

The widened and optimized tread of the low-section construction distributes the ground pressure more evenly over a larger area and thus reduces the normal deformation of the tyre while rolling. The new tyre thus reduces the rolling resistance of the trailer wheels considerably, thereby lowering fuel consumption.

One further advantage of the optimized ground pressure distribution is smoother wear, helping to gain a noticeable increase in mileage. A combination of three central tread grooves with self-cleaning inner sipes ensure the necessary protection of the casing. While the two narrow tread grooves in front of the shoulder ribs give the tyre high tracking stability and thus support the stability of the trailer and the whole truck.
