WestLake CR857

The WestLake CR857 summer light vehicle tire was specially designed for off-road vehicles that only occasionally drive on asphalt roads. One of the distinctive features of this model is its versatility. It is equally well suited for moving on rocky soil, sand, and mud.

Aggressive tread pattern

The tread pattern of this tire is one of its key features. It is characterized by an aggressive design with a block structure typical of off-road models, as well as a clear division into several separate zones with different functional purposes.

Z-shaped blocks

In the central part of the tread pattern of the WestLake CR857, there are massive Z-shaped blocks that form a wide longitudinal rib. When driving on asphalt roads, this tread element provides directional stability and a short response time to steering wheel turns.

Off-road, the Z-shaped configuration of the blocks provides the formation of multiple additional tread edges. This allows the tire to more confidently overcome complex sections.

Checkered arrangement of tread blocks

Another feature of the tread pattern of this tire is the checkered arrangement of all its blocks. The practical benefit of this solution lies in increased cross-country ability, more even distribution of external load on the contact patch, and reduced resonance noise and vibration levels.

Excellent tread self-cleaning properties

The next characteristic feature of the tread pattern of this model is the large distance between the blocks in the shoulder areas. When driving on sand and mud, these blocks become soil grippers, and the large distance between them does not allow the tread to "clog", i.e., become clogged with small soil particles, thereby ensuring more confident behavior on loose and unstable soils.

At the same time, the blocks in the central part of the tread are spaced at a much shorter distance from each other. This was done to ensure a more even distribution of external pressure on the contact patch and to reduce rolling resistance.

Main features of the WestLake CR857 tire

- excellent efficiency on various types of surfaces, thanks to a universal symmetrical non-directional tread pattern;
- Z-shaped blocks in the central part of the tread form a wide longitudinal rib, providing the tire with good performance on asphalt, and due to the formation of additional tread edges - off-road;
- powerful blocks in the shoulder areas, spaced at a large distance from each other, allow the tire to easily overcome difficult-to-pass sandy and muddy areas.
