Automotive Wide Base Tire Market to Witness Exponential Growth by 2026
Wide base tires are utilized in trucks and trailers that are used for the transport of heavy goods and equipment. Wide base tires are also known as super singles. Generally, trucks and trailers utilized for the transport of heavy goods have two pairs of wheels on each rear axle, which may lead to tire mismatch and can hamper the fuel-efficiency of the vehicle. The wide base tire eliminates the necessity of using two wheels on each side of the axle, thus reduces the overall vehicle weight as well as the need for wheel maintenance. Using a wide base tire instead of a pair of small tires enhances the vehicle efficiency by 2% to 5%, which is primarily driving the global automotive wide base tire market.
