The Westlake CR976A is a commercial tire that's designed for use on all positions of semi-trucks in local or regional applications. The CR976A features a shallower tread depth that resists tread squirm and irregular wear, a high ply rating for strength and durability, built-in stone ejectors to protect the casing from damage, and four circumferential grooves that pump water out of the tread to boost wet traction.
