Overview

The FD405 is a closed-shoulder drive-position radial tire built into DoubleCoin's OptiGreen lineup — a series designed around cutting rolling resistance without giving up the traction drive axles demand. Fleet operators running long highway stretches will see the difference at the fuel pump: this tire carries EPA SmartWay verification, meaning it meets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's benchmark for low rolling resistance and measurable fuel savings.

Why This Tire Matters

Fuel accounts for roughly 40% of a commercial fleet's total operating budget. A set of drive tires with genuinely low rolling resistance — not marketing-speak, but independently verified — shifts that math in your favor. The FD405 also runs a deep 26/32" tread, so you're getting fuel economy alongside mileage you can count on. At Goldtop, we've supplied these to fleet customers in the Middle East where highway temperatures exceed 45°C, and the closed-shoulder pattern holds up well under sustained high-speed heat buildup.

Key Features

• Closed Shoulder Tread Pattern — The continuous shoulder rib spreads load pressure evenly across the contact patch. That translates to slower, more uniform wear. It also means less road noise — something drivers on 1,000-km highway runs actually notice and appreciate.
• EPA SmartWay-Verified Low Rolling Resistance — SmartWay isn't just a sticker. It means this tire has been tested and proven to reduce the energy lost as the tire flexes under load. Less energy lost = less fuel burned. In a 10-truck fleet running 150,000 km per year each, the compound effect is substantial.
• 26/32" Tread Depth with Stone Drilling Protectors — The depth delivers long original life. The stone protectors at the groove base — small raised bumps — prevent rocks and debris from drilling into the belt package. A punctured belt is the fastest route to an early casing retirement.
• Multi-Application Versatility — While optimized for long-haul highway, the FD405 handles regional pickup-and-delivery routes and intermodal drayage. It's a workhorse drive tire that doesn't lock you into one type of lane.

Best For

Long-distance highway fleets chasing fuel cost reduction; regional carriers running mixed highway and secondary roads; intermodal operators moving containers between rail yards and distribution centers; fleet managers in hot-climate regions who need a tire that manages heat on extended runs.
