Double Coin Tires and China Manufacturers Alliance (CMA) has introduced its fourth EPA SmartWay verified technology tire, this one a super wide for trailers.

The FT125 joins the FR605, FD405, and the FT105 in the company’s tire line. It is a low-rolling resistant tire available in 445/50R22.5.

“Once again, with the introduction of the FT125 and the soon to follow FD425 super wide drive position tire, Double Coin leads the way in innovation and development of environmentally-friendly products,” said Aaron Murphy, vice president of CMA.

The FT125 is engineered with an advanced tread compound and a low profile design to maximize the durability while providing optimal fuel savings, the company said.

“With the position that fuel economy and lower rolling resistance products take in today’s progressive transportation industry, we are excited that Double Coin now manufactures super wide products that are continually requested by North America’s original equipment manufacturers, transportation fleets and government agencies,” added Murphy.

The tire has a maximum carrying capacity of 10,300 lbs. with a low rolling resistance rib style tread design with an original tread depth of 16/32nds.
