Forerunner QH500 Tires
The Forerunner QH500 is a highway terrain, all season tire made for trailers. This model should not be mounted on light trucks.
The model promotes great all weather traction. The ribbed tread pattern and the all season compound enhance the tire’s dry, wet, and winter-weather grip. In other words, the optimal tread pattern maintains road contact in all conditions, while the special compound keeps the rubber flexible in changing temperatures. Hydroplaning resistance is ensured with this tire. The optimal grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint in wet situations.
The ribbed tread pattern maintains road contact, increasing steering responsiveness and driving stability. At the same time, the steering response time becomes faster and more precise to the towing vehicle’s commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. On the other hand, cornering and maneuvering are upgraded as well.
The Forerunner QH500 boosts load and driving durability. The strengthened internal structure and the special silica compound keep the ideal tire shape under load and driving pressure. This heavy-duty performance enables the tire to carry and withstand heavy loads. As a result, this load capacity makes this model perfect for trailer applications.
This is a bias ply or diagonal tire. Due to the tire’s internal construction and size, it is possible that the tire will look deformed. Smaller diagonal tires do not have reinforced constructions that can keep the tire from deforming. The bias construction and the small tire’s non-reinforced internal structure allow the tire to fold in when it is deflated or not properly inflated. This is not constructional damage or an issue; it is a normal occurrence with such tires. In such cases, the tire needs to be mounted and inflated to the proper PSI or, in some instances, an inner tube needs to be added. The proper PSI and the inner tube are able to maintain the tire’s ideal shape, preventing the bias plies from looking deformed. This ensures their performing safety and durability.
The photo is a representation of the tire’s possible deformation, it does not represent the specific tire model, size, tread pattern and application.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
