Overview

The FT105 is a trailer-position radial that focuses on what trailer tires should focus on: staying round, wearing slow, and not eating fuel. It's SmartWay-verified, runs a 12/32" tread depth, and features a casing designed to come back for multiple retread cycles — which is where the real cost advantage lives.

Why This Tire Matters

Trailer tires are the fleet's silent expense. They don't generate headlines like drive tires, but a trailer tire failure on the highway costs far more than the tire: roadside service calls, late deliveries, cargo claims. The FT105 addresses the fundamentals — even wear, durable casing, low rolling resistance — so trailer tires become a line item you don't think about. Goldtop supplies these to intermodal operators in Africa who run on roads that would shred a lesser casing in months.

Key Features

• Extensive Siping for Even Wear — The fine cuts across the tread ribs prevent the localized heat buildup that causes uneven wear. Trailer tires that wear evenly run longer between replacements.
• Durable Casing Engineered for Multiple Retreads — The real cost of a tire isn't the initial purchase — it's cost per kilometer across all lives. A casing that comes back for two or three retread cycles cuts your tire cost by half or more. The FT105 is built with that math in mind.
• EPA SmartWay-Verified Low Rolling Resistance — Trailer tires account for a significant share of aerodynamic and rolling drag. SmartWay verification means this tire contributes to the overall fuel efficiency of the combination vehicle.
• 12/32" Tread Depth — A balanced depth for long-haul highway trailers. Enough tread for mileage, with the right compound for heat management.

Best For

Over-the-road dry van and reefer trailer fleets; intermodal chassis operations; any fleet operator who retreads trailer casings and tracks cost across multiple tire lives.
