The angled grooves down the tread of the DH7 that enhance traction in wet road conditions.

A tread feature of the DS8 that moves rain and snow away from the tire tread for better control.

The DH2 asymmetrical, non-directional tread design that allows for easy tire rotation without changes in traction or road noise.

The difference between a load range E and load range F tire of the same size tire is the weight capacity and pressure. The F-Rated (Load Range F) tire has a capacity of 3,960 pounds at 95psi and a capacity of 3,960 pounds at 80psi for select larger light truck sizes 305mm/12.50" or wider. This F-Rating also indicates 12-ply construction. F-Rated is a requirement for late model ¾ and 1-ton trucks. F-Rated means a higher towing capacity than the E-Rated tire.
